CHILD KILLED WHEN HE FELL FROM FARM WAGON.
One of the most tragic deaths in a number of months occurred on Capitol creek near Basalt last week when little Larry Ross LONG died following injuries received when he fell from a farm wagon.
The 4 1/2 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence LONG, was riding on a farm wagon when he was jolted off, falling beneath a rear wheel. The wheel passed over the baby's body, crushing his heart. When his father who was driving the wagon, picked the child up the little fellow complained of a pain in his stomach.
Mr. LONG rushed the child to their house, and while Mrs. LONG was changing the child's clothes, preparatory to taking him to a doctor, Larry died in her arms.
The little body was laid to rest in Basalt, his birthplace, on Saturday, April 17. Services were held at the Methodist church in Basalt.
The child is survived by his parents, who are employed on the W. J. Hyrup ranch on Capitol creek.
