Woolstock man killed in farm accident

WOOLSTOCK - A freak accident in Wright County has claimed the life of a rural Woolstock man, authorities said this morning.

Jon Ahrendsen, county medical examiner, said that Cyril Hauser, 74, was killed Monday when he apparently fell from a ladder and struck his head on the wall of a grain bin he was cleaning.

Hauser may have fallen as little as two feet, but his neck was broken by the blow to his head, Ahrendsen said. Hauser's obituary and funeral arrangements are listed in today's Daily Freeman Journal.

Cyril (Cy) Hauser, 74, of Woolstock died Monday afternoon in a farming related accident at his home.

Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the Grace United Methodist Church with Dr. Charles Smith officiating. Burial in the Green Mountain Cemetery at Green Mountain, Iowa, will be held Thursday at 3 p.m.

Friends may call at Foster Funeral Home from 5 p.m. Tuesday until 8:30 a.m. Thursday, when the casket will be taken to the church.
