Lake Odessa Wave, 21 Jul 1932

Lad Seven Years Old Crushed to Death

Dragging with Horses in Field.  Accident on Farm of Jesse Meyers.

Friday afternoon when little Howard Johnson was driving his father’s team,
hitched to the drag, in the field, the drag upset and threw him beneath a
cultipacker, crushing him to death.  It is said the child had driven horses for
a year.

The funeral was held at the Mennonite church near Clarksville, Monday afternoon.

The farm belongs to Jesse Meyers of Lake Odessa and is worked by Spennor
Johnson.  There remains a younger child, a son two years of age.  The parents
moved on the farm last March from the Logan district.
