Bedford Accident
Bedford
was the scene of another of those tragedies that are so common today. Monday
evening, Charles [Philip] Kuhn,
one of the nine-year-old twin sons of County Auditor and Mrs. Thomas L.
[avelle] Kuhn, was killed when a
truck ran over him on Highway 148 at the south edge of Bedford. The lad was on
a coaster wagon, it seems, and coasted out on the highway in the path of a
truck, driven by a Gravity man, who was unable to stop in time to prevent the
accident.

Truck Kills Kuhn Twin Mon. Eve.
Charles Kuhn, 9, Fatally Injured
Charles
[Philip] Kuhn, 9, twin son of
County Auditor and Mrs: Thos. Kuhn of Bedford was instantly killed Monday evening about 7:30, on the highway No.
148, when he coasted beneath a loaded cattle truck near his home in south
Bedford.
The
truck belonging to Henry Petersen of Gravity was going south on the highway,
loaded with cattle being delivered to the St. Joseph market. Petersen, his son
Verne Petersen at the wheel and Bernard Baker were in the truck cab.
The
little boy, coasting on the sidewalk that crosses the highway near the Mrs.
Frank Crowe residence, suddenly appeared just ahead of the truck. Apparently
the front and rear wheels of the heavily loaded vehicle rolled over him and the
coaster wagon, killing him instantly.
The
accident was unavoidable. The Petersens stopped as quickly as possible, placed
the boy in a passenger car that came along, and rushed him to a doctor's
office. A doctor could not be located at the time and the body was then taken
to the Walker & Shum Funeral Home.
Funeral
services were held at the Walker & Shum Funeral Home in Bedford Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Offices in the courthouse were closed during the
services. Rev. Robert Boshen conducted the services and burial was in the
Graceland cemetery.
The
community was deeply shocked by this tragedy, and sincere sympathy is extended
to the family.
