NEW MARKET,
Terrible Accident Results in Death
John A. Dennis Fatally Wounded While Putting up Hay.
One of the most terrible accidents it has ever been our lot to record occurred last Saturday noon at the A. W. Dennis home north east of New Market, when John Dennis received fatal injuries when he fell from the hay mow of his father's barn.
They were threshing timothy at the A. W. Dennis home and John was working in the hay loft. They were just quitting for dinner and as John came down from the loft he slipped and fell, falling estraddle of a pitch fork at the foot of the ladder. The handle of the fork penetrated his body and into his bowels to a depth of eleven inches. He was alone at time and he pulled the fork handle out himself, but was soon found lying on the ground writhing in agony.
Dr. Cleary was called, who gave first aid treatment, and the Walker & Shum ambulance called from Clarinda. He was rushed to St. Joe to the hospital, where he was operated on at once, but the fork had struck a vital spot and he died shortly after midnight Saturday night.
The deceased was one of the finest young men of the community and his death will be most keenly felt by the young wife and children who are left alone. The most profound sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved ones in this terrible calamity.
John A. Dennis, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Dennis, was born in Taylor County, Iowa, February 20,1898, and departed this life at Noyes Baptist hospital at St. Joe, Missouri, on August 3rd, 1930. Aged 32 years, 5 months and 13 days.
November 22, 1921, he was united in marriage to Ruth Iona Miller of New Market, Iowa, and to this union were born three children, Marvin Ray age 6, Sarah Hazeltine age 4 and Paul Gilbert age 2.
He was born and lived near Blockton, Iowa, until 22 years of age. He then moved to the present vicinity near New Market, where he has since resided.
He is survived by the wife, three children, the father and mother, one sister, Mabel Worthington, one brother Vernon, his aged grandfather and grandmother Dennis besides numerous other relatives, friends and neighbors.
He united with the Christian Church at Maloy, Iowa, at the age of 15 years and lived a happy spiritual life. When twenty-one years of age he became affiliated with Bethany Lodge No. 320 A.F. and A.M., Blockton, Iowa, later transferring to Covenant Lodge No. 453, New Market, Iowa. He was accomplished man in different respects and at all times ready to use his talents for the good of others.
His sterling qualities of life, honor and virtue need no recounting to those who knew him.
Following a fatal accident he passed away, feeling himself prepared and ready to go.
The funeral services were held at the home of his parents north east of New Market, conducted by Lowell Bryant, pastor of the Christian Church of New Market, Monday afternoon, August 4th, The Masonic services at the grave were conducted by Brother Kelvin of Hopkins, Mo., participated in by brethern from New Market, Blockton, Clearfield, Siam and Clarinda Iowa, and Hopkins, Mo.

"He has gone from his dear ones, his children and his wife, Whom he willingly toiled for, and loved as his life; Oh, God! how mysterious and how strange are thy ways, To take from us this loved in the best of his days.
