Richard Allen Meyer, 15-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Marland Meyer, Waukon, was strangled Saturday when a Venetian blind cord became entangled around his neck.
The family lives in a trailer at the edge of town. Mrs. Meyer had gone across the street to the mailbox, leaving the baby in his playpen beneath a window. He apparently had reached the cord on the window sill and tumbled after it had been looped around his neck.
His father was in Sioux City, where he is a sawmill and lumber worker. Also surviving are two brothers, 3-years-old and 5-months-old.
