Wullner Children Killed By Train

David Lee Wullner, 7, and Richard Allen Wullner, 4, children of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wullner, formerly of this community, who now live in Cedar Rapids, were killed Monday morning near their home in Cedar Rapids by a railroad locomotive. The two boys were playing on a railroad trestle and didn't hear the approach of the train. They were unable to run for safety in time and the steps of the diesel locomotive struck them, sweeping them along for about 20 feet and then hurling them on to the bank of the stream far below.
