In loving memory of
JAMES RALSTON,
who passed away 9 March 1989
God saw that he was getting tired,
and the cure was not to be;
So He put His arms around him and
whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
and saw him fade away;
Although we love him dearly, we could not
make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard work hands to rest;
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
Sadly missed by the Family

RULE READ DEATH WAS '' ACCIDENTAL''
Son Tells Coroner's Jury of Death Of His Mother In
Farm Accident
A coroner's jury ruled Mrs. Frank Read, Route 1, Fairfield, died an "
accidental death" following the inquest held here Monday night. Coroner
Robert McNeill presented only one witness, Mrs. Read's 18-year-old son, Howard,
who was driving the truck which crushed his mother. Mrs. Read died at Memorial
hospital Monday morning, five days after the accident at their farm home south
of Boyleston.
Returned with Corn
The son testified that he had brought his truckload of corn to the elevator
here Wednesday evening but had to return home with it after finding the
elevator closed. Arriving back at the farm barn lot, he asked his mother to
open a door to the corn crib. The son believed his mother had done this
task and had gotten out of the way. He started backing the truck and then
heard her scream. He jumped from the truck to find her pinned between it
and the crib. He pulled the truck away and mother fell limp to the
ground. Summoning his sister, Marjorie, the two put their mother in the family
auto and rushed her to memorial hospital.
Rear View Mirror Broken
Howard, the son, told the jury that the truck's rear view mirror was broken and
that he had not been able to see his mother directly back of the truck. Members
of the jury were George McDannel, foreman, Allen Baumann, Ed Williams, Mike
French, Jere Borders and Marshall McGehee. The inquest was held at Nale's
Funeral Home.
