THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD CRUSHED UNDER WHEEL OF FARM WAGON

Arthur, Ill. — Funeral services were held in the Amish community here for little Paul Yoder, son of Reuben Yoders who was fatally injured under the wheels of a wagon on Aug. 23. The services, in charge of Bishop Obed Diener and Min. Simon Gingerich, were widely attended.

The little boy, nearly three years of age, was riding on a wagon load of dirt with his brother Sylvan, 16, as driver. When the team of horses started up, he toppled off and was struck by one of the wheels.
