Farmers Adopt Boy Who Had Feet Cut Off
In Albany Indiana a group of farmers pledged to fund artificial feet for 13 year old Larry Farnsley who lost his feet in a railroad yard accident. They plan to provide replacements as he grows and to give vocational training, collecting pennies and nickels for the cost amid his family’s financial strain. Larry and his 14 year old brother Bobbie were passengers on a freight when struck by a switching car last May and Larry now uses a wheelchair after weeks in hospital.
