Historical Account of Minnie May Wilson's Death
While the Alfred Wilson family was living in Quick, Nebraska, Minnie May Wilson was tragically killed. She taught school at Quick and as a means of transportation, she drove a horse hitched to a cart. The morning of February 25, 1898, on her way to school, the horse became frightened and ran about a mile and a half with Minnie's clothing and one foot caught on the cart. She could not free herself until help came, which was too late to save her life. She was 21 years old. Her brothers, overwhelmed by the grief of loosing their sister, killed the family horse involved in the accident.
