Bull kills farmer in Willard Friday night
Alexander A. Lemon, a prominent farmer in Willard Boxelder county, was gored to death by a bull in his corral Friday night. The body was found about one and a half hours later with the bull stamping upon it. Lemon, 60, left a wife and ten children. The last to see him alive was A M Van Der Viles of West Ogden who had been at the farm earlier in the day. Mrs Lemon’s call to a neighbor prompted a search that led to the grim discovery. Medical aid arrived but he was dead about four hours.
