WODEN DROWNING VICTIM BURIED

Rites for Woden Youth Are Conducted in St. John's Lutheran Church.

WODEN, May 29 - Funeral services were held Tuesday at St. John's Lutheran church for Amy [Ehme] Brass, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rhinard Brass, who was drowned Sunday in the Bingham gravel pit.

Amy and a couple of other boys were swimming when suddenly Amy yelled for help. Both of the boys tried to get him out but he was too heavy and they couldn't hold on. The boys went to town where they got help.

The body was found with a hay rake about an hour afterward.
