On Monday, June 23, southern Indiana\u2019s tight-knit community was stunned when a routine day of farm work turned into a fatal tragedy.<\/p>\n
Maverick, eager to ride in the combine with his great-grandfather, dismounted alongside his beloved great-grandmother, Nancy Ann \u201cNanny\u201d Fox\u2014only to be caught in a tragic accident involving a farm tractor that claimed both their lives.<\/p>\n
