Teens killed in detasseling accident laid to rest

Funeral services were held Friday for the two teenaged girls who were killed after being electrocuted while detasseling corn in Whiteside County Monday.

Hannah Kendall and Jade Garza, best friends and both 14-years old, died together in the still unexplained accident.

Their funerals were staggered at different times so people in the community could attend both services.

Hannah Kendall's service included the song, ''If I Die Young'', by the Band Perry, and a sharing of memories by her sister.

Family and friends packed the church, including many co-workers who were in the field with the two girls that day, including the supervisor of her detasseling crew.

Jade Garza's funeral was held later in the afternoon.

Both would have been freshmen in high school this year.
