16-Year-Old Hutterite Youth Killed When Tractor Overturns

Freeman, S. D. — Sixteen-year-old Johnny Wipf of the Maxwell Hutterite Colony was working alone with a tractor on a section line south of Olivet when the tractor overturned, pinning him underneath.

A passing motorist saw the overturned machine and went for help, but by the time he returned the youth was dead.

The boy leaves his father, John E. Wipf, his step-mother, a twin brother, four other brothers and three sisters.
