Victim of plane accident, 6, is buried in Ill.



STEGER, Ill. (AP) -- Airport accident victim Joshua Woods went to his grave Wednesday with a quarter in his coffin -- money a brother gave him so the 6-year-old could buy a gumball in heaven.
Joshua, who was killed in a runway accident at Chicago's Midway International Airport, was buried with the coin at a cemetery in northwest Indiana, said the family's attorney, Ronald Stearney Jr.
Stearney said 4-year-old Jacob Woods put the quarter on his brother Joshua's hand before a funeral Wednesday at a chapel in this Chicago suburb.
Joshua, dressed in his beloved camouflage military fatigues, was buried in nearby Schererville, Ind., as the family huddled under a blanket in biting cold.
