WALNUT – Hugo Paasch, 67, died at 8:25 p.m. Wednesday at the Atlantic Memorial hospital from injuries suffered that afternoon when a tractor ran over him at his farm southeast of here.

He had cranked the tractor apparently when it was in gear. The tractor started up a cultivator hooked to the tractor knocking him down and the tractor ran over him. He suffered a crushed chest.

Paasch was found by his son, Ronald, who lives on the family farm, and a hired man, Earl Mueller.

Surviving are his wife, Mildred, and son Ronald.

The body will lie in state at Berthusen’s funeral home and services are pending.
