A six-month-old baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Raymond Farlow of Winterset, accidentally strangled to death in its home here Monday evening.

The child had rolled off the edge of the bed, and its head caught between the edge of the bed and the wall. The mother had to pull the bed away from the wall to free the infant.

The little girl's name was Joyce Ann. She was born here Dec. 18, 1942. She is survived by her parents, a sister, Marilyn Kay, and a brother, Gene.

The father of the child is working with the Sears Construction company out of Fairbanks, Alaska, and considerable difficulty is being encountered in reaching him with the news of the tragedy.

Funeral arrangements are being delayed pending receipt of word from the father.
