As they came south on 91, the child obtained his father's permission permis-sion to ride with his uncle, Glen Reber, who, as a state highway employee was operating, a . road maintainer three miles south of Fillmore. While riding on the road machine ma-chine the boy complained of hun-gar hun-gar and his uncle gave him a sandwich from his kit. It is believed be-lieved his fingers became too greasy from the food and slipped from the side of the machine when he overbalanced. He was killed instantly. Surviving besides his parents are two brothers, Brent, aged six; and G. Barlow, aged two months; his maternal grandmother, Virgie Pederson of Murray, and his father's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest J.
