HIGH SCHOOL, SENIOR CRUSHED UNDER TRACTOR AT CARLOCK, ILL.
Metamora, Ill. — Funeral services were held at the Carlock Mennonite church May 11 for James Roger Stutzman, 16, who was crushed to death under a tractor at his parents' farm near Carlock Thursday evening.
The lifeless body of the youth was found about midnight by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Stutzman, and brother John. He had been plowing and apparently, after detaching the plow to return home, the tractor upset, pinning him underneath.
He was active in 4-H club work and was an honor student at the Normal Community high school, where he was to graduate in June.
