Mrs. NJ. ]. McAndrews went to
Elgin Wednesday, being called there

Hunsberger. The Elgin Echo gives
the following particulars concerning
Mr.. Huntsberger's accidental death.
/ The community was shocked and
deeply saddened last Tuesday when j.
was learned that Frank Hunsberger
who lives about three miles south Of
town had been accidentally killed. Ii
seems that he and his son were haul
ing straw for bedding and feeding
purposes. When he was driving from
the top Of the load the wagon struck
some obstacle which overhalanced
him and he fell TO the frozen ground,
striking on his head. Dr.. HadSel
was called Immediately and also DR..
Carr of Clermont, bat upon arrival
found that death had been almost in
Simultaneous, probably caused by a
broken neck or fracture of the base
of the skull. This is certainly great
shock 70 the immediate family and
leaves them grief stricken.
The loss Is more keenly felt on ac-
count Of the fact that his daughter,
Mrs. Jerome Nearous is in the hospi-
tai at EIkader having just been oper-
ated on for appendicitis and cannot
be told of her fathers death.

Mr.. hUnSberger was member Of
the ". ". OF A and always took
great interest In all Of the topics Of
public corcern. He was ever ready
to express his opinion on the real
cues tioEg Of the day. His integrity
vas fawless. His home was mis-
stronghold He never was more con-
tented thar when he was surrounded
az his hearthside by his family and
in h,s death the community loses a
good citizen and his acquaintance
a true friend.
Dir. Hunsberger was man Of
forceful character and kindly heart.
He has always followed the vocation
of agriculturalist and in all his un-
dertakings he was successful. He
lived a life that applied the Golden
Rule, and az he conversed with his
friends on the streets of Elgin Sat
urday, lone thought that his time
in this world was so short. But
life is uncertain, and the taking OF
this man who but a moment before
death came, was apparently In ro-
bust health, has cast deep shadow
Of sorrow, not only among his reia-
tiyeg, but in the hearts of the many
who know and respected him here
and elsewhere.
The funeral services will be held
at the Baptist church Friday, Marcf
3, at O'clock p. m. Rev. r. y
Hillman officiating, assisted by Rev
Pr. Lauer. Interment viii be made
in the Elgin cemetery.
