From THE COLUMBUS JOURNAL, October 25, 1893-
DIED
HELLBUSCH--Thursday evening last, at 7 o'clock, Henry Hellbusch and a young man named Wilkin who was working for him, started home, a distance of five miles, from Mr. Asche's, where they had been threshing all day, but at a culvert about one mile from their destination, they met with an accident in which Mr. Hellbusch lost his life.
The culvert is about four feet from the ground, and the tracks showed that one horse had walked on the ground, the other on the culvert. Wilkin was on the seat, and Hellbusch lying on a load of loose oats in the wagon. The box was overturned, and Hellbusch buried under the oats and smothered to death.
Fred Davis came along about 8:30, found the team standing, Wilkin unconscious, and Hellbusch with life extinct. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of death by accident.
Mr. Hellbusch was about forty years old, and leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss.
The body was buried in the Lutheran cemetery Saturday afternoon, the funeral being attended by a host of friends. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
