Serious Accident
Clinton, 11 years old son of Frank
Lyons, residing just north of the
city, met with a serious accident
Sunday afternoon, which narrowly
escaped fatal results. They were
running the gasoline engine pumping
water for the stock, and the little
fellow was near the shafting when
the mitten on his left hand was
caught and before the engine could
be stopped his arm had been drawn
around the shaft and broken above
the elbow. The thumb of the same
hand was bent backwards and torn
from the ligaments, causing most
painful injury. Surgical assistance
was summoned and such relief as
possible was rendered. Had he been
alone at the time he probably would
have been whirled to death about the
shaft.
Finger Amputated
At the home of his parents near
Reading on d afternoon Samuel
Kimmel, aged 13 years, was
unfortunate enough to get one of his
fingers in a falling trap door. The
member was so badly mangled that

Obituary.
[Note: see
previous obit,
above.]
The Advance was misinformed in some
particulars last week regarding the
late Mrs. Peter Geyerman, of
Brewster, which the following
obituary notice from the Brewster
Tribune will no doubt set right:
A great wave of sorrow swept over
this village Monday, when it was
reported that Mrs. Peter Geyerman
had passed away. She was seriously
ill for only a few days, but had
been rather feeble for several
years. The cause of her death was
diabetes.
Mrs. Geyerman's maiden name was
Berreau, and the [sic] was born in
Germany April 5th, 1835. When about
23 years of age she came with her
people to America, and settled in
Carver county, Minnesota, where five
years later she was married to Peter
Geyermann. Six children were born to
them, of whom three are dead and
three are living, and known to the
people of this vicinity as Rudolph,
Edward and Peter.
In the fall of 1881 the family came
to Brewster and Mrs. Geyerman was
from that time on one of the most
highly respected and best beloved
women of this community. She was a
woman of high character and
considerable education and culture,
a passionate lover of music and
beautiful things of all kinds, a
most faithful wife, and a devoted
mother and grandmother.
In times of trouble, sickness or
death Mrs. Geyerman was always ready
and prompt in giving aid to others,
and those who knew her through all
the long hard years when the country
was new will remember her many kind
acts and mourn the loss of a true
friend.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at the Presbyterian
church, and only a few of the
friends who had gathered were able
to get inside the building so large
was the crowd. Rev. Mapson had come
down from Balaton to assist in the
service, but after announcing his
text he was suddenly taken ill and
was unable to proceed. Rev. Hunter
made a few brief but appropratie
remarks, and followed this the
burial occurred at Hesrey [Hersey?]
cemetery.
The community deeply regrets the
passing away of this most estimable
woman, and the sympathy of their
many friends is extended to the
bereaved relatives.

Obituary.
Died, in Worthington, Nobles County,
Minnesota, Feb. 4th, 1907, of
LaGrippe, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Smith,
widow of the late C.H. Smith. She
was born in Montgomery, New York,
Sept. 29th, 1836 and was the
daughter of Morris and Mary (Snell)
Freeman. On the 8th of March 1857,
she was married to Mr. C.H. Smith of
Richland Center, Wis. One daughter
was born to them, Grace E. They also
adopted two children, Lillie J., now
Mrs. J.H. Kennedy of Los Angeles,
California, and Bessie B., now Mrs.
Fried of New York City. Mr. and Mrs.
Smith came to Worthington June 1st,
1881, where they made their home
until 1891, when they removed to St.
Paul, Mr. Smith having been assigned
a position as State Insurance
Commissioner, which office he
retained until his death.
Mrs. Smith with her daughter then
removed to Richland Center, Wis.,
that she might be near her kindred.
In 1898, they returned to
Worthington, and have since resided
here. Mrs. Smith was a person of
good Christian character, won
friends, sympathetic and
affectionate by nature and an
earnest worker in the church and
society of which she was a member.
In later years, however, she was
restricted by feeble health, from
participating in many of the
enjoyments of Christian life. While
we deeply mourn her loss, can we not
feel that she will receive in that
Heavenly home, the crown of
rightenous [sic], which the Lord
bestowes upon those who have his
approval. The funeral was held at
the family residence February 7th.
Interment in Worthington.
SUDDEN SUMMONS
Mrs. Earl T. Hopkins, Ill a Day,
Dies at Rushmore.
Mr. [Mrs.] Earl T. Hopkins, of
Adrian, died at the home of her
sister, Mrs. W.E. James, a few
minutes after 5 o'clock, Monday
morning, February 4th, 1907, after
an illness of about twenty-eight
hours. Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins had gone
to Rushmore Saturday to remain until
Monday. About midnight Saturday she
was seized with a violent vomiting
spell, but, after a physician had
attended her, she recovered somewhat
and did not appear to be seriously
ill. About one o'clock Monday
morning she was again taken with an
attack similar to that she had
sustained before. The physician was
again summoned, but even then there
was apparently nothing alarming in
her condition. Soon afterward,
however, she became unconscious and
remained so until death ensued. The
cause is attributed to the bursting
of a blood vessel.
The body was brought to the home of
her mother, Mrs. W.H. Prideaux, in
Adrian, Monday forenoon, and from
here the funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon, Rev. Gillis, of Rushmore,
assisted by Rev. Hancock, of Adrian
conducting the services. The eastern
Star and Royal Neighbors
participated in the obsequies. The
floral tributes form lodges and
individuals were profuse and
beautiful.
Mary Gertrude Prideaux was born in
Dodgeville, Wisconsin, February 17,
1881, and come to Adrian with her
parents in March 1883. She was
married, July 26th, 1906, to Earl T.
Hopkins, of Bedford, Iowa.
She had not enjoyed the best of
health for several years, but was
never unable to go about the
ordinary duties of life.
Death came in a sudden and tragic
manner and it is a singular
coincidence that she died in the
same house in which she so recently
married.
A mother, husband, five sisters and
four brothers are left to mourn her
departure. She was beloved by all
both old and young. She was a
dutiful and loving daughter and
sister and an affectionate wife. A
large circle of friends and
neighbors will also miss her bright
and winsome personality. --Adrian
Democrat.
Death of L.B. Bennett
Death ended the suffering of our
friends and townsman, L.B. Bennett
on Friday morning, Feb. 1st.,

and other lung trouble.
Lucian Bonaparte Bennett was born
July the 16th, 1837 at Scropple,
Oswego Co. New York. He emigrated to
Wisconsin in 1859. In 1861, soon
after the fall of Sumter, he
enlisted as a private in Co. I,
fourth Wisconsin Infantry serving
during the war. He was taken
prisoner in Louisiana, while doing
service as a scout, and to his
sufferings and exposure in miasmatic
climate the disease which finally
caused his death was due.
Mr. Bennett was one of the earliest
pioneers of Worthington, Minnesota,
residing at that place until he came
to Pillager in the fall of 1900.
While a resident of Worthington, he
occupied many positions of trust
filling the office of clerk of
court, justice of the peace, etc.
During the administration of
President Cleveland he served as
postmaster at that place.
Mr. Bennett was a member of the
G.A.R. and also a Free Mason of many
years standing.
Of his character, none but those
with whom he was intimately
connected can form a correct
estimate. Few men could compare with
him in a high sense of honor, in
purity os mind and in kindness of
heart.
He leaves a wife, too [two?] sons,
two daughters, Mrs. Grace Lohf of
this place and Mrs. Jessie Bailey of
Cooperstown, N.D., as his immediate
family, to sorrow for his loss. He
has also two brothers living,
Messrs. Leanander Bennett of St.
Paul, and Beny Bennett of Zion City.
--Pillager Leader.
