Crawler Tractor
Runs Over Youth
George Fuller Suffers
Cracked Pelvis
A 16-year-old O’Neill high school
senior was critically injured about
1 o’clock Monday afternoon when
run over by a crawler-type trac
tor at a gravel pit located one
mile north and three miles east
of the junction of highways 281
95.
George Fuller, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Levi Fuller, was given a
blood transfusion at St. Anthony’s
hospital and was rushed by am
bulance to St. Joseph’s hospital
at Omaha.
Fuller was riding on the draw
bar of the tractor being operated
by Edw-ard Humpal. Levi Fuller
was in O’Neill at the time.
According to the youth’s father,
Mr. Humpal was showing the boy
how to operate the eight-ton ma
chine, which was in reverse at
the time. When Humpal chanc
ed to peer over his shoulder and
look back, he noted the youth was
off the drawbar and had been
run over by the right track.
It is believed the soft gravel
saved George’s life.
It was originally thought the
youth’s pelvis was crushed. But
subsequent studies of X-rays at
the Omaha hospital showed the
pelvis bone only cracked, and
there were no other internal in
juries, except for tom tissues.
there win ne no surgery un
til the swelling goes down. The
tissues are expected to mend
without surgery, Mr. Fuller said.
The youth, regarded as an ac
tive and popular student at O’
Neill high school, was conscious
through the ordeal and Tuesday
was resting well enough to see
his parents and friends.
In telephonic interview heard
on Wednesday's "Voice of The
Frontier” program (WJAG, 780
kc., 9:30 a.m.t, Mr. Fuller said
markings on his son’s body in
dicated the tracks had passed
over the hip and both legs.
IXiring the ambulance trip the
patient was given a transfusion
and also blood stabalizer. The
patient was admitted to the Oma
ha hospital at 8:45 p.m.
The parents of the injured boy
are staying with relatives, Mr.
and Mrs. Dean Van Every, in
Omaha.
In the interview Mr. Fuller said
the family is "greatly encourag
ed”.
STAY INTERRUPTED
Among those elected to offices
at boys state in session at Lincoln
was Bob Kurtz of Long Pine, who
was elected lieutenant-governor
A candidate for the legislature

Page, who contracted chickenpox
and was isolated from the others
before being sent home.
LAB TECHNICIAN NEEDED
St. Anthony's hospital is in need
of a laboratory technician for a
period of one week. Hospital
spokesmen said the need is urgent.
Hay Crop
Plentiful
This Season
4 L o o k s Wonderful’;
Much Corn Pushing
from 8- to 12-Inches
As June passes the half-way
mark crop prospects in the O’Neill
area are excellent.
Small grain throughout Holt,
Boyd, Wheeler, Knox and Antelope
counties is headed nicely. The
small grain was off to a good start
with moisture from late snow and
timely spring rains.
Much corn is seen from eight
to 12-inches in height in dryland
fields. Most com in the area has
been cultivated once.
Bluegrass is short this year.
Occasionally Holt produces a ban
ner crop of bluegrass and the out
put in this county exceeds the
entire state of Kentucky, which
is known as the bluegrass state.
But this isn’t one of those years.
There will be an abundance of
hay again this year-the second
year in a row.
Lyle Dierks of Ewing, who tra
vels extensively in a four county
area, said Wednesday the hay
crop “looks wonderful everywhere
1 K°”
Up until Friday noon Gene
Mudloff, who lives in the Page
locality, reported five inches of
moisture for May.
Considerable rain fell east of
Creighton Tuesday evening. Nor
folk reported .32 of an inch. Win
netoon received a sprinkle.

Twilight of Life—
Fullertons Admire Sunsets
ATKINSON—There was no fan
fare or fuss Tuesday evening,
June 17, as Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Fullerton observed their 55th wed
ding anniversary at a family din
ner. ,
The Fullertons reside five
blocks south of Atkinson’s main
business intersection. Mrs. Fuller
ton was hospitalized in February
and is making a recovery.
Mr. Fullerton was bom at Ting
ley, la., April 11, 1882. Tingley is
in southwest Iowa about 20 miles
from the Missouri boundry.
His wife, whose maiden name
was Mary Frane, was bom 3%
miles away. Her father was Ger
man and French and her mother
was French. Once upon a time
somebody in the family dropped
the prefix and DeFrane became
simply Frane'.
While they were reared in the
same community, the two were
not exactly aware of each other
until the evening she was grad
uated from high school (12th
grade) at the age of 15.
They were married June 17,
1903, at Tingley at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Frane. They farmed there until
1910 when they moved to Atkinson
in two emigrant railroad cars.
Horses were included in the ship
1 ment. _
Mr. Fullerton's father, Oscar,
was attracted to Nebraska be
cause of less expensive land and
a change of climate was urged in
behalf of his health.
Earlier his uncle, Henderson
Fullefton, had homesteaded in
Holt. It was in 1883 that Hender
son transplanted himself from
southwestern Iowa • to a farm
northwest of Atkinson.
The Robert Fullertons had
three sons bom in Iowa: Oscar,
Homer and George. One son ana
four daughters were later bom in
Holt.
For three years they farmed 2 Va
miles north and one mile east of
Atkinson, in 1913 they moved on
to a Shields township farm locat
ed two miles north of Atkinson
and 10 miles east. This was re
gaded as the family home. In the
fall of 1950 the Fullertons retired
and moved into Atkinson where
Mr. Fullerton makes an occasional
fishing excursion to the mill race.
Occasionally he serves as police
judge (now in his second term).
Mr. Fullerton is 76; his wife is
77. Until February, when she be
came ill, Mrs. Fullerton kept very
busy and declined trips to homes
of sons and daughters “unless
there’s some work to be done”.
She taught several terms of sch
ool in Iowa before she was 18 and
attended Drake university at Des
Moines.
She is not impressed with mod
em teaching of spelling and gram
mar and the lack of instruction in
penmanship.
Last year Mr. Fullerton worked
for a week in the hayfield to help
kin who were hardpressed for har
vest labor.
Homer died in an accident in
Wyoming about five years ago.
Oscar lives at Neligh and George
ranches at Amelia. Other child
ren are: Harold of Amelia, Mrs.
Merrill (Mildred) Smith of Stuart,
Mrs. Sidney (Margaret) Marks of
Newcastle, Wyo., Mrs. Leslie
(Anna) Watt of Upton, Wyo., and
Mrs. Earl (Mary Alice) Watt of
Belgrade, Mont.
There are 27 living grand
children and nine great-grand
children.
