heavily with companions. The theory
is that he jumped freight train near
the Grand river bridge to go to some
point west, but the jar of the train
threw him from his perch and he fell
under the wheels. His body was hor-
ribly mangled and parts of it were
strewn along the track for several
yards. Misfortune has rested heavily
on the Gredler family in the past few
years. The father, Joseph Gredler,
died about two years ago; last year a
daughter and grand daughter died.
Funeral services were conducted by
the Rev Mann and interment was in
the Rifle cemetery. Deceased was a
member of the Woodmen of the World.
