    • Philipsburg District Farmer Dies in Tractor Mishap

      Austin Doering, aged 55, of RR 2, Baden, died Saturday night as the result of a freak tractor accident along the Wellesley road.
      Mr. Doering had taken the tractor to Wellesley to have some wood planed, and was on his way home when the accident happened. His body was found beside the wheel of the tractor early Sunday on the farm of Mrs. Alma Forler, RR 1, Baden.

      Corner Dr. C. C. Belyea of Kitchener reported Mr. Doering died of suffocation. According to Provincial Police Constable Harry Pelz, the wheel of the tractor rested against his neck and prevented his breathing, but did not crush his throat. Mr. Doering was found early Sunday by Lloyd Forler, after his mother saw the tractor on her property. It is believed the victim was westbound on Wilmot township road 3 when the tractor left the road and went through a deep drainage ditch, through a fence onto the Forler property and continued into the field before it stalled.

      Mr. Doering was born in Philipsburg April 28, 1907, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Doering. He farmed in the area all his life, and also worked for the Kitchener Silo Co. Ltd. He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Philipsburg.

      Surviving are his wife, the former Ida Becker; two sons Clare of New Hamburg and Wayne, at home; two brothers, Howard of Wellesley, Gordon of New Hamburg; two sisters, Mrs. John (Frieda) Frank of Kitchener, Mrs. Oscar (Eugenia) Hackbart of Heidelberg and one grandchild.

      Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at Zion Lutheran Church, Philipsburg by Rev. Oleson of Wellesley and interment followed in the adjoining cemetery.
