Virgil Nauman Dies in Tractor Accident at 45-

"Virgil Nauman, a farmer who lived several miles north of Mound City met death about 8:30 Friday morning when he fell from a tractor that was pulling a tandem disc, and apparently became wedged under the disc. His body was dragged or pushed by the disc, his face apparently against the ground and dirt and dust must have suffocated him.

The tractor ran into a fence post some 50 feet from where he fell. E.K. Thompson, working in a nearby field, saw that something was wrong and investigated, finding Mr. Nauman dead. The body was brought to the Schooler Funeral home in Fairfax. Coroner Gallup, who investigated the accident said death was caused by suffocation. There were bruises, scratches and other injuries on the body.

Mr. Nauman was born August 2, 1915, the son of Lester and Bessie Lee Nauman, and had spent his entire life on the farm where he died, east of Fairfax. Early in life he joined the United Presbyterian Church.

Surviving are his father, Lester Nauman of Burlington Junction; two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Campbell and Mrs. Barbara Williams, both of Denver; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services were held at the Pleasant View Presbyterian Church at 2:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and were in charge of the Rev. Paul Stone, pastor of the Fairfax Presbyterian Church. Burial was in the New Liberty Cemetery.

Pallbearers included: William Bowness, John Close, Byron Boone, Fred Carter, E.K. Thompson and Robert Shaw."
