“BOY DROWNED WHEN BANK GIVES WAY. – Ross Wolf, eight year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arley Wolf, of Audubon, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. f. Dunahoo, of this place, was drowned Saturday afternoon when the bank of a stream, near the Wolf farm gave way under the weight of a wagon load of corn, on which the boy was riding. Mr. Wolf and his sons had been husking corn and it was when he was turning in the field near the stream that the bank gave way. Mr. Wolf and Eldon, nine, escaped with minor injuries, the father being injured in his attempt to rescue the dead boy, who was pinned beneath the wagon in the stream. Funeral services were held at the home at 12 o’clock and at the Church of Christ at Exira that afternoon at 2 o’clock. Interment in the Exira cemetery. Relatives who attended the funeral from this community were: Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Dunahoo and son, Vern, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Glasgow and daughter, Jane, Mrs. J. A. Doggett and son, Ralph, and Mrs. More. J. F. Dunahoo and Vern, who with Mrs. Dunahoo, went Saturday night, returned Monday evening, but Mrs. Dunahoo remained for a longer stay with her daughter and family. The Wolf family expect to move the first of next March to the Matt R. Dunahoo farm, northeast of this city.”
