OBITUARY: July 29, 1878 Boonville, Indiana Enquirer
This community was shocked last Saturday by the sad intelligence that Mr. Charles Veeck, living a few miles from Boonville, had met with an accident which caused his death. The facts, as we learn, are that while Mr. Veeck was engaged in adjusting a hay fork in the comb of his father's barn, the ladder upon which he was standing broke, precipitating him to the ground a distance of about twenty-six feet, crushing his head in such a manner as to cause his death in about six hours. The deceased was a young man about twenty-three years of age, of steady and industrious habits and was of one of our leading German families. He was well and favorably known in Boonville, having once held the position of salesman in the store of Gast & Gerhart. He was to have been married in a few weeks to a young lady from Chicago, Miss Hubb. The funeral took place Sunday morning.
