BARNEY JUNGBLUTH KILLED

B.H.J. Jungbluth, who has been a resident of Washington county since 1873, was killed in an automobile accident at the bridge over the North Western tracks, four and one half miles southwest of Arlington, last Wednesday afternoon. In turning out to meet a passing team he lost control of his machine and it went down over the high embankment striking bottom side up.

In the car with him were his sons Herman and Julian, his daughter Wilma and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Herman Jungbluth with her two children. When the car was moved it was found that the Father was dead and the son Julian in a very serious condition. He was taken to the home of Morris Masters and medical aid called. The other members of the party were slightly injured but were able to be taken to their homes. Later in the evening Julian was taken to the Omaha hospital where it was found that the bladder had been punctured. While he is in a very serious condition, Dr. Davies says that there is every hope for a recovery and that he will probably be confined to the hospital for three or four weeks.

In the buggy which the car turned out to pass were J.M. Marshall and Nelse Enmark. As soon as they realized that an accident had occurred they came back and rendered the occupants of the car every possible assistance.

The funeral of Mr. Jungbluth was held Friday afternoon and the body taken to Lincoln Saturday morning. It has been placed in a receiving vault while plans are being made to take it to his old home in Germany for burial as was his request.

B.H.J. Jungbluth was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1853 and came to this country when he was seventeen years old. He came to Washington county in 1873 and prior to his death had accumulated large farming interests. In 1875 he was married to Miss ida Fisher, of Arlington. There are five children, Mrs. Ray Batson, of Lincoln; Mrs. Joe Emersen, of South Omaha; Wilma and Julian who are at home and Herman who is farming the old home place.

Mr. Jungbluth was a respected citizen of the county and his tragic death has brought sorrow to many friends. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family.
