a boy of seven years with his parents and had made his home here for three decades.
He was one of the well known and progressive agriculturists of the county and up
to this time of the accident personally directed the management and operation of
his large farm in Newton. He served as a town officer and had always been recognized
as a man of broad vision and in step with the progress of the age.

Raleigh Schmitz and Mrs. Edward Wilson, both of this city survive. A son Paul passed

robust health up to the time of the accident and was not at first thought to have
been seriously injured and only within the past few days had his condition caused
apprehension.
