From Der Nord Westen, 19 July 1906:
A terrible fatal accident has been reported to have taken place last week in Town Maple Grove. Thomas Morrisey, a well-known farmer in that town, was busy gathering hay into his hay wagon. On Wednesday as he was bringing the hay into his barn, the pitch-fork somehow came loose from its fastening and the prongs pierced Morrisey in the neck, about 6 inches deep just below the skull. The wound was such that recovery was expected, but blood poisoning set in and Morrisey died Thursday evening. The unfortunate man was 35 years old and leaves his widow and a child.
*******
NOTES FROM MAPLE GROVE.
On Thursday, a prominent young farmer died at his home, as the result of an
accident which befell him on Tuesday evening, July 10, while he was unloading
hay in his barn, using a double hay fork. As he was pulling down the forks to
the load, one of them became unhitched and dropped down, one of the tines
entering his right side just above the front of the hip, making a wound which
resulted in his death. He, without assistance, extracted the fork from his side
and went immediately to his house. Medical aid was summoned, but all efforts
failed to save him from the grasp of death. The decedent was an exemplary young
man, always jolly, accommodating and unassuming. He was born here 35 years ago
and worked on his father's large farm continuously until 6 years ago, when he
was married to a Miss Brennan of Lark, Brown Co., and when he went to live on
his own farm, where he continued to reside until his final summons came. He
leaves a broken-hearted wife and a boy three years old to mourn the loss of a
kind and loving husband and father. He will be sadly mourned by his father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Morrissey, and by seven sisters and four brothers.
His memory will be cherished by hosts of friends, as he knew no enemies. The
funeral was held Saturday from St. Patrick's church, Rev. G. J. O'Connell,
assisted by Revs. A. Rhode of Morrison and P. Herb of Whitelaw, performing the
last sad rites before the casket was lowered to the decedent's final resting
place in the cemetery. Rev. G. J. O'Connell paid a touching tribute to the
deceased in a few brief remarks. Branch No. 108 C.K. of Wisconsin, of which
order the deceased was a member, turned out in a body to pay their last respects
to their departed brother. He is now sleeping that long peaceful sleep which,
on earth, knows no waking, and all his cares and toils are o'er. May the earth
rest lightly upon his clay.
