We’ve had ongoing coverage this week of the Shenandoah Valley family that lost four members and an employee in a farm accident Monday. The funeral was held Thursday, just a few miles outside of Harrisonburg. In an attempt to honor the family’s undertandable wish for privacy, we managed to piece together a story based on the accounts of friends, extended family and materials, like the funeral program, loaned to us. There’s a version I wrote for the Associated Press and a longer, featury piece for Friday’s Daily News-Record.
One of the first articles profiling this family is still available online, too.
