      LEROY:

      The two-year-old son of a former Leroy couple was killed Saturday when his father backed a truck over him.

      The boy was playing behind the vehicle when Lyle Stephenson, a Riceville, Iowa, farmer, moved it. He did not see the child until the truck had passed over his son's body.

      Dead is Larry Stephenson, who lives six miles south of Riceville. He was born May 23, 1947, in Iowa.

      He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Stephenson, his grandparents, Mrs. Anna Johnson of LeRoy, and B.C. and Louina Stephenson of Riceville.

      Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. today at the LeRoy Lutheran Church. Rev. R.M. Christensen officiated. Burial was in the Leroy Lutheran Cemetery. Funeral arrangements were handled by the Martz Funeral Home.

      RICEVILLE, IOWA:

      Larry Allen Stephenson, 2, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Stephenson, six miles southwest of Riceville, was killed instantly at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday when struck by a truck driven by his father.

      Dr. R.L. Whitley, Osage, Mitchell county coroner, said the right rear wheel passed over the boy's head as the father backed out of the barn. The father checked the left side of the truck but didn't see the boy.

      According to the coroner, the father thought the youngster was napping in the house. The boy was the Stephensons' only child.

      Funeral services will be held today at Leroy.
