Young Farmer Is Killed As Tractor Runs Away
A Fayette County farmer was fatally injured Thursday night when his tractor crushed him as he waled to open a gate on Higbee Mill Road. The body of Fred Scott Burke, 25, of the Higbee Mill Road, was not found until 7 a.m. yesterday. Corner Chester Hager said his wife, Mrs. Ova Anna Burke, found her husband about 7 a.m.
Hager said the rear tractor wheel stopped midway on Burke's back. Burke died instantly of multiple internal fractures and injuries, the officials said. Officials theorized that Burke climbed down from the 5,000 pound machine to open a gate and pick up additional implements. The vehicle apparently lurched forward and struck a fence post which stopped the wheel on Burke.
Mrs. Burke said her husband, an employee of the J. W. Robinson farm ate supper at home about 6 p.m. Thursday and then returned to the fields to finish plowing. She she she went to bed shortly after her husband left the house and did not miss him until she awakened yesterday morning.
Hager said he had apparently finished plowing the field and was in the process of picking up another implement in an adjoining field. The accident occurred within 500 feet of their home.
Burke, a member of the Springdale baptist Church, is survived by two daughters, Priscilla Kay and Teresa Ann Burke.
Other survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam O. Burke, Brannon Road in Jessamine County; two brothers, Sam Burke, Washington, D. C., and Russell Burke, Jessamine County; a sister, Miss Barbara C. Burke, Jessamine County, and his grandfather, W. S. Burke, of Nicholasville.
The boy was taken to the Guyn, Kurtz and Hager Funeral Home in Nicholasville, where services will be conducted at 2:30 p.m. Monday by the Rev. William B. Craig. Burial will be in Maple Grove Cemetery, Nicholasville.

Mrs. Ben Earl Montgomery
Services for Mrs. Mary Ethington Montgomery, 54, wife of Ben E. Montgomery, of 620 Price Avenue, will be conducted at 11 a.m. Monday at the W. R. Milward Mortuary--Southland by the Rev. W. L. Birch. Burial will be in the Lexington Cemetery.
Bearers will be Harry Downey, Jr., Bernard Strange Jr., Jack Strange, Buddy Wayne Prather, Hugh Prather Jr., Donnie Prather, Richard Allen Ethington and Marion Lee Ethington Jr.

James D. Owings
James D. Owings, 89, a retired farmer, died at 3:55 p.m. today while being taken to the Nicholas County Hospital after suffering a stroke. A native of Nicholas County, he was a member of the Carlisle Christian Church.
Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Lyda M. Wade, Carlisle and Mrs. Frank Bishop, Lexington; a brother, Ben Owings, Carlisle; a sister, Mrs. J. D. Banta, Lexington, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Monday at the Mather-Shearer Chapel by the Rev. Lanis Kineman and the Rev. Ambrose Strump. Burial will be in the Carlisle Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Owings Wade, Frank and Dan Bishop, H. T. Letton, Berry Burnew and Hanson Judge.
