FRED VIMPENY DIES OF INTERNAL INJURIES SUSTAINED FRIDAY WHEN HE WAS THROWN FROM A STONE TRUCK
Fred Vimpeny, who was thrown from a stone truck Friday morning, died of internal injuries at St. Joseph's hospital the same afternoon about 3:30 o'clock. His leg was broken, but the more serious injuiries were caused by the horse, which stepped on his chest. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock from his late home, 613 Florence avenue, Rev. Ben N. Mitchell, of the Christian church, officiating. He leaves besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vimpeny, four brothers and a sister. They are Mrs. Howard Wagner, Arthur, Harry and George, of Joliet, and Charles, of Oak Park, Ohio. Mr. Vimpeny was driving the team and heavy truck down Washington street near Spring creek. The neck-yoke broke, the horse ran into the curbing and the unfortunate man was thrown from the truck. [The Joliet News, Joliet, Illinois, issue of Thursday, 14 August 1905.]
It was at the stone quarry where Fred found the most unusual stone which later marked his grave. The black rock, in the shape of a heart, has a natural vein of pale gray which forms a cross. The name "Fred" is carved into the rock.
