Harry moved out to Montana and became a mustard seed farmer. I recall as a youth going on a family vacation to Montana. Our local butcher, Skwor, used Montana mustard seed in their sausage. We filled coolers with sausages of different types and took them with us on our Montana visit so Harry could taste the sausage with Montana mustard seed.

Big Mustard Crop in Sweet Grass Farming Region

Sweet Grass, Sept. 24-Farmers of northern Toole county have harvested one of the largest yielding crops of commercial mustard this fall that h as ever been grown in this region, giving them a neat income under the growing contract with the seed houses, which is said to be four cents a pound. Amil Klinert's mustard crop, east of sunburst, threshed out 1,500 pounds to the acre, and the Farr brothers crop, west of town, ran 1,250 pound s, and a number of other farmers in the territory report yields of a 1,0 00 pounds and over to the acre. The past few years, since this new crop h as been grown here under contract by the farmers, a field that produced 1, 000 pounds or better to the acre was an exceptionally good one, with about 500 pounds rated as an average yield.

Many fields of spring wheat sown on good summer fallow here in some of t he border districts in Toole county are running from 40 to 50 bushels to t he acre, it has been learned. Among the local farmers who report these bumper yields are Harry Tuma, Rudy Juderman and Ole Berkram. This goes to s how the skeptics that Toole County land here is still very productive after being under cultivation all these years, when the weatherman provides favorable moisture and growing conditions throughout the summer months as he did this year.

I confirmation sponsor was Harry Tuma, Sr., who lived most, if not al l, of his adult life in Cut Bank, Montana. He married Hazel Tuma in the early part of the 20th Century. They had several children, all of whom would be at least in their late 70s now.

One of them was named after his father. He married late, probably in the late 1950s, and had at least one child, who should be in his/her early 40s now. He was a crop duster, part time. I first flew with him when I was 6 years old.

Harry, Sr., died in the early 1960s in Columbus Hospital in Great Falls, M T.

Donald G. Tuma Among Soldiers Killed In Crash County Family Had Talked by Telephone With Korea Returnee

TWO RIVERS - Pfc. Donald G. Tuma, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Doolan Tuma of Rt. 2, Two Rivers, residing just north of Larrabee on Highway Q, was among 27 soldiers homeward bound for the holidays from Korean service to be killed Friday when a chartered airliner crashed after a takeoff from Seattle, Wash.

Tuma was listed among the 27 dead in an Associated Press dispatch from Seattle.
The Tuma family said Saturday morning that it received a call Friday from the young soldier that he had arrived in Seattle and was planning to fly home immediately. Up to 11 a.m. Saturday the family received no official government announcement of the youth's death, however.
Tuma entered the service nearly two years ago and served more than 18 months with the U. S. Army in Korea. He would have had another year to serve before his discharge.
Donald Tuma was born in the Town of Gibson on Oct. 10, 1935, and was graduated from Mishicot High School with the class of 1953. In high school he took an active part in the Future Farmers of America program. Besides his parents he leaves two sisters, Janice and Joanne at home, and six brothers, James of Manitowoc arid Richard, Wayne, Gregory, Peter and Paul Tuma on the home farm.


SEATTLE (AP) Government investigators met here today to begin the work of piecing together the broken fragments of a wrecked airliner and the stories of the people who saw it die. This much they knew.
Twenty-seven men died when a big Peninsular Air Transport Co., plane bounced to explosive destruction early yesterday in the backyard of a suburban home. And 47 other persons, including a woman and three small children, survived.
There were some discrepancies in the accounts of eyewitnesses and men who were in the plane as passengers or pilots. And the only sizable remaining piece of the once large DC4 is its tail surface, still resting in a charred backyard amidst a rubble of melted and twisted metal.
The investigators said they had no preconceived notions what caused the Miami-based plane to falter two miles south of Boeing Field, its takeoff point, hit a tree, a utility pole, and a garage and then break up and burn in the backyard of the Colin Dearing home.
But sabotage, which caused the destruction of a United Air Lines plane near Longmont, Colo., with a loss of 44 lives carry this month, seemed unlikely to David Nelson, supervising agent for the Seattle office of the Civil Aeronautics Administration.

Engine Trouble Reported
Richard D. Auerbach, special agent in charge of the Seattle Federal Bureau of Investigation Office, said his office had found nothing to indicate the likelihood of sabotage.
Two men who watched the plane's final few yards of flight, said its engines were failing and one had even quit. E. J. Rice who was close enough to feel the heat of the flames when the plane's heavily loaded gas tanks exploded with dreadful results said the engines were "poppin' and sputtering."
Herbert Gardiner said one of the engines sounded flat and no exhaust was visible from another.
Fred Hall, copilot from Miami, agreed one engine had given trouble "right after the takeoff." But he said, "the other three engines were functioning perfectly. That's enough to get that type of plane up without too much trouble."
He couldn't say, though, why the plane began to settle in a matter of seconds after the takeoff instead of gaining the altitude it needed so badly to clear the hill south of the runway.

Tuma Drowns in Harpt Lake

Larrabee - Harpt Lake, a 27 acre body of water located northwest of this community, claimed its second life in two weeks Sunday.

Latest victim was identified by county authorities as Wayne Tuma, 25, formerly of rural Two Rivers, but more recently a resident of Rockford, Ill.

Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said Tuma and his recent bride, Patricia, 19, were in the water together when he apparently stumbled over backwards and sank below the surface. She went for help but the body was in t he water for about 10 minutes before it was received, Doctor Teitgen said.

Dead on Arrival

The corner (sic) reported that Tuma drowned in water that reached just above his waist. The accident occurred at about 5:50 p.m.

Tuma was dead on arrival at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital. Pat Finnel of the Larrabee area tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim with mouth to mouth resuscitation from the lake all the way to the hospital.

Tuma's mother and wife were taken to the hospital in a state of shock. The mother was released later Sunday but his wife was hospitalized overnight.

Tuma and his wife had come to this area to visit his parents and relatives over the weekend.

Cautions Swimmers

Doctor Teitgen cautioned swimmers to avoid going into the cold lake water after drinking beer. It was reported that Tuma had been drinking prior to the accident.

Beer is available at the lake at a concession stand owned by the Larrabee Sportsmen's Club and operated by Ted Schoenke of Manitowoc.

The coroner asked the sheriff's department to investigate the possibility that underage youths were drinking beer in the swimming area located on the east side of the lake.

Lyle L. Kluck, 19, Two Rivers, drowned in the same lake June 9. He reportedly went under after suffering a cramp while swimming with a female companion near a raft in the swimming area.

Funeral services for Tuma will be 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at Lambert Funeral Home, Mishicot, and at 10 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Mishicot. The Rev. Anthony Betley officiating. Burial will be in the parish cemetery .

The deceased was born Dec. 28, 1942, in the town of Gibson, son of Doolan and Clara Schwoerer Tuma. He attended Larrabee District No. 1 Graded school and was graduated from Mishicot Community High School in 1960. He served in the U.S. Army and was married to Patricia Moate April 30, 196 8.
