July 19, 1990 - Humboldt Independent - The following is from the 1884 History of Humboldt and Kossuth Counties.
"The iron bridge at Rutland was built in the spring of 1874. In September, 1880 Fred Nedermire of Cornith Township, was crossing the bridge with a steam engine of a threshing machine,"
"He passed the main span safely, though cracking the timbers that held up the road bed, but in crossing the approach, he broke through. The engine fell on top of Nedermire and it took some time to extricate him. He died in a few hours."
