Calvin L Moritz, 73 year old farmer, who lived with his wife, Nannie, aged 70, along the Knoxlyn Rd., had been reported missing early in the evening. By 10:00 neighbors found his body in a nearby corn patch with a hoe by his side.
Dr. C. G. Crist, Adams County coroner, was called and blamed a coronary occlusion for the death. Then he went to the Moritz home to speak with the widow who had been joined by neighbors.
A few minutes after receiving the word of her husband's death, Mrs. Moritz became ill and her physician, Dr. David Stoner, was summoned. By 11:00 she had died. A heart attack induced by shock was blamed. She had suffered from a heart condition for some time.
