TRAGIC DEATH OF EDEN BOY
LITTLE SON OF MR. AND MRS. OTTO GUELL MEETS DEATH
ON FATHER'S FARM
Morton Ralph Guell, aged six years, and
only child of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Guell of the town of Eden, was killed at 3 o'clock Monday
afternoon by being run over by a manure spreader on his father's farm.
The little boy was running along side the spreader, which was being operated
by an employe in a field near the house, when he slipped and plunged forward his head
being crushed under the wheels. Death was almost instantaneous, the child having breathed
his last before he could be taken to the home.
Mr. and Mrs. Guell, parents of the child, were former Fond du Lac residents
and it was in that city that Morton was born November 11, 1910. His parents subsequently
located on a farm in Lamartine, and shortly after moved to the farm in Eden.
The funeral was held from the residence at Eden this forenoon at 11 o'clock
and at the Salen Evangelical church at Fond du Lac at one o'clock, Rev. Kiekhoefer
speaking in German and the Rev. G. E. Roberts of South Byron, in English. Interment was at
Rienzi cemetery.
The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. |
