• Notes

  _P_CCINFO 2-14330 From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, May 1, 1878- DIED LUSCHE--On last Wednesday evening, shortly after dark, between eight and nine o'clock, Henry Lusche and family, who had been in attendance at a wedding, started for home. They were traveling slowly in a three-seated, light wagon, and were congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in escaping accident, when suddenly the wagon was tipped to one side, throwing them all out,--the wagon, however, not going over. They were all more or less hurt, but all slightly, except Otto, a son of Henry and Katrine Luesche, aged 6 years and 1 month, who was instantly killed. His skull was struck in two places,--above the eye and in the temple, and his death was instantaneous. The horses were traveling slowly and stopped when the seats tipped out, and the sad death of the bright little lad was caused by the seat striking him in the temple. the spot where the accident occurred is a half-mile north of Edwin Ahrens's dwelling and on the side of a hill; the embankment where the accident occurred was only a foot down, and, had the seats been solid in their places, it is thought that none of them would have been hurt. Little Otto was sitting in the front seat between an older brother and his father. His remains were buried on Friday last, and the parents have the deepest sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in their time of sorest affliction.
