Fall From Hay Wagon is Fatal
Eugene A. Mognet Suffers Broken Neck When Rope Breaks

  Eugene A. Mognet, 78-year-old Middlecreek Township farmer, was killed in an 
accident which occurred in his barn about 6 o'clock Wednesday evening.  Injuries 
including a broken neck resulted in his death, Coroner Dosch certified.
  Riding atop a loaded hay wagon, the aged farmer was suddenly catapulted to the 
floor when the trip rope which bound the load snapped shortly after the wagon 
entered the barn.
  With him at the time were Mr. Mognet's brother, Smith Mognet, also of 
Middlecreek Township, and Wilson Lyons.
  Mr. Mognet was a son of James and Marie (Moore) Mognet, both deceased, and was 
born in Middlecreek Township where he spent his life.
  He is survived by one son, Clifford, a member of the coast guard, stationed at 
Benecia, Calif.; his wife, Mrs. Sadie (Miller) Mognet, and by these brothers and 
sisters: Joseph Mognet, Meyersale; Newton Mognet, Lavansville; Smith K. Mognet,
