Penney was returning from the field, driving a tractor, when the accident occurred, about 4:15 p.m. two miles north and four miles west of Osage. The tractor went off the road and overturned in the ditch. Penney was pinned under the tractor. He had been working on the Lawrence Ask farm since Monday.

He came to live at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Penney when he was three and one-half years old. He received his education in the public schools of Osage and became a member of the Methodist church. He joined the air force in 1957 serving three years, part of which was in Morocco. He married Joan Markham of Osage on June 24, 1961. He had been employed at his family's business, Penney Bros.

The tractor was in a ditch, and Penney was pinned beneath it. He had been hired for a farm job near Osage only three days ago. Authorities are further investigating the accident as there is a strong possibility of linkage with lightning. Penney, who was working for Duane and Lawrence Ask, was enroute to the Ask home during heavy rain. Authorities estimated that within five minutes after the accident he was found by Lawrence Ask, Duane's father, who had gone to investigate why the youth was not home during the rain. The body was under the tractor, in a 10 foot ditch on the north side of the road. The tractor had made a direct line to the ditch, with no evidence of sliding or the driver having turned the wheel. Dr. William Spencer, Osage, and Dr. William Owen, St Ansgar, were at the scene and said death was outright. Patrolman Art Younker and Deputy Sheriff Richard Jahnel were further investigating. The body was taken by ambulance to the Champion Funeral home where services are pending. This is the fourth fatality in Mitchell county this year. Surviving are his wife, Joan; a daughter, Lynn Marie, 8 months; his parents Earl and Evabel Penney, all of Osage; and a brother Gregg of Minneapolis.
