• Notes

  _P_CCINFO 2-14330 From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, October 12, 1898- HENKE--A Mr. Henke, father of Adolph Henke, who lives near Boheet, says the Leigh World, was hurt in a runaway last Monday which resulted in his death. Monday forenoon the old gentleman went out into the corn field for the purpose of gathering a load of corn when the team became unmanageable and started to run. Mr. Henke was thrown out of the wagon and the wagon box thrown on top of him. Dr. Miessler of Columbus was called and after an examination said that he would be all right in a few days there being only a few bruises apparent. He died Monday evening. It is thought that he must have sustained internal injuries that did not manifest themselves when Dr. Miessler made his examination. Mr. Henke was 70 years of age and an old settler in Platte county. The funeral occurred Wednesday at the Loseke Creek church where interment was made. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW] From THE COLUMBUS (NE.)
