Dorothea Peik Chilton Times June 11, 1881
Killed – Mrs. Peik, who used to reside in Charlestown, but since her husband's decease was a resident of the Eastman farm in Chilton, on the town line between Charlestown and Chilton, at 9:30 o'clock a.m., on Wednesday of this week by a collision of the hill between Gravesville and the depot, of her team and one driven by a party named Herman Paulsen. The accident was caused by the team of Mr. Paulsen's, which was hitched to a load of staves, become scared at a freight train and running away. The result was that she was thrown from her wagon and received internal and external injuries from which she died in about half an hour after the unexpected accident. She was a very estimable German lady and was highly respected. Her last moments were consoled by the Heavenly spirit implanted by the Divine Creator, "who doeth all things well' and her earthly pains relived by Dr. Deans assisted by Student Phelps. Peace to her ashes and may her soul rest in Eternal Glory is the wish of all who knew her. The remains were followed to New Holstein by a host of friends and buried in the family lot on Friday.
