Farm Accident Claims One Life

(KNZA)--An Everest man is dead, killed this week in what his obituary calls a “farming related accident.”

Robert “Bob” Schecher was 81-years-old when he died Tuesday.

His obituary, from the Dishon-Maple-Chaney Mortuary, in Horton, says the fatal accident occurred at an industrial plant in Craig, Missouri.

Additional details regarding the accident aren't immediately known, with the investigation apparently ongoing.

The Holt County, Missouri Sheriff's Office, when contacted by MSC News, said details are expected to be made public next week, with no other information being officially released until that time.

Schecher leaves behind a number of survivors, including his wife, Macrina, or Mickey.

A funeral mass is scheduled for Saturday evening at 6:30 at Saint Mary's Catholic Church, in Purcell.
