Butler Citizen, Monday, Feb 12 1917:
Leonard Emminger, 32, died suddenly about 4 am Sunday at the home of his brother, Michael Emminger, where he lived.
He worked on an oil lease in the Chester Horton farm near Buffalo Bridge, and had worked all day Saturday. He was apparently in good health when he retired that night. About 3 am Sunday members of the family heard groans. They found Emminger unconscious in bed. Dr. A. H. Straube of Chicora was called and arrived about an hour later, but Emminger had already died. Emminger was connected with a well known family in the eastern section of the county. He was unmarried, his parents were dead, and he lived with his brother. About two weeks ago, while working on a well in the East Butler area, he sustained an injury to his head, but it was not considered serious and only kept his from work a few days.
