A SENECA FARMER MEETS DEATH.
Impaled on a Sharp Stick on His Hay
Rack. Dies before Medical As-
sistance Arrives.
Ferdinand Damitz, a well-to-do far-
mer living about three and one-half
miles from this city in the town of
Seneca met with an awful accident
Friday morning, dying from effects
of his wound in a short time...
The deceased was an old resident of
the town of Seneca, having settled
there about thirty years ago. He
leaves a wife and five children, they
being Mrs. Frank Kruger, William,
Charles, Albert, Amelia and Emma,
who have the sympathy of all in their
affliction. Mr. Damitz was a man who
through years of industry and hard
work had acquired a competency and
was in robust health, so that his de-
mise is all the more deplorable....

Married 1866 or 13 July 1867 at Milwaukee.
