TRAGIC TRACTOR ACCIDENT

Lee Ivan BROWN, 15 years of age, of Wood, SD was killed instantly Saturday afternoon about 1 p.m. in a tractor accident, which happened one and a half miles south of Ellston on a graveled road. BROWN was driving south on a 1960 Ford tractor owned by Aden STEWART of Ellston at the time of the accident. The youth either lost control of the vehicle or the brakes locked and the tractor left the road, over turned in a ditch on the east side of the road and pinned him underneath. Dean STEWART, 17 years of age and son of the Aden STEWARTS, who was riding with BROWN, jumped off the tractor and escaped injury. The dead youth was a son of the Lawrence (Bud) BROWNS of Wood and a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Iven CREVELING of Beaconsfield, with whom he and his parents were visiting.
