ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
The Following is the Obituary Of e.
mer Knappenberger Who Shot
Himself Last Week, as Writ
ten by a Friend.

Elmer Knappen berger, Oldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wesley Knappenberger,
was born in Audubon county, Iowa,
May 1st, 1897 and died March l8, 1907,
his death being caused by the acct
dental discharge of rifle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knappenberger decid-
ed to go to Audubon and intended to
take the boys along but boy like they
wanted to stay at home and play.
The parents finally consented, feeling
safe TO leave them as the hired man
would be there all day. The little
fellows always played together con-
tented and happy, the parents never
compelling them to stay at home.
The children, in the afternoon, went
to the hired mans room, secured his
rifle and shells and Elmer, seemingly
having no fear. placed the muzzle of
the gun to his temple saying ''I'm
not afraid" the gun was discharged
and the child fell over unconscious.
Just how the gun was discharged the
younger boy did not know but he
Immediately called the hired man, the
neighbors were notified and physi-
clan summoned. Everything was
done to revive him and although he
lived about three hours, he never re-
gained consciousness. The heart
broken parents arrived about an hour
before he passed away. The tragic
death of Little Elmer who was an ex-
ceptionally bright child, was great
shock to the parents and they have
the sympathy of the entire community
when the days are long and lonely,
Summer days most sweet and fair,
When we gather in the cleaning,
Round our darling's vacant chair;
Say we softly to each other,
Fairer scenes than we can know,
Sweeter airs and softer voices,
Made our darling glad to go.
Shines his happy face upon us,
Still smile is lingering;
So in patient trust we tarry
For the coming of the King
The funeral services were conducted
in the Methodist church at Coon
Rapids, by Rev. Yaggy in the presence
of large audience. The little white
casket was covered with beautiful
roses, the pail bearers being Clyde
Ridgway, Cart Hendricks, John Rute,
Sherman Clifford and John Anderson.
He was buried in the Coon Rapids
