Hopkins Farmer Fatally Injured As Tractor Upsets
A native Hopkins area farmer and father of five children died instantly late Saturday afternoon when a farm tractor turned over on him 4 ½ miles east of Hopkins.
Killed instantly as his teenage son, Dennis, worked in a field nearby was William Eldon Vore, 44.
The elder Vore was operating not far from his son, when the tractor overturned in a 12-foot ditch. The son ran to the father, but the victim had been fatally crushed under the weight of the machine.
He is survived by his wife of 18 years, two other sons, Larry and Clarence, and two daughters, Shirley and Carolyn, all of the home; and two brothers, Calvin Vore, Tulsa, Ok., and Ellis Vore, Kansas City.
Born June 3, 1921, at Hopkins, the son of Clarence and Clara VonKaenel Vore, who survive, he had resided all of his life in the Hopkins community. On Feb. 14, 1947, he was married at Olathe, Kas., to Virginia Kerns.
A graduate of the Hopkins High School, he served 39 months during World War II in the African Italian theaters of war.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Tuesday at the First Christian Church, Hopkins, with the Rev. Norman Lewis officiating, assisted by the Rev. Loyd Means. The American Legion unit will conduct graveside services. Burial will be in the Hopkins Cemetery.
