Obituary

Shocking Accident
Chas. L. Knowlton Killed by a Falling
Tree While at Work in the Woods

Chas. L. Knowlton, a prominent young farmer of South Clinton, met a sad and untimely death Tuesday, while at work cutting down timber on his farm. He had cut down a tree, which in falling lodged in another in such a manner that the butt of it was thrown back over the stump, striking the unfortunate victim of the accident on the top of the head and pinned him to the ground. W.J. KcKeen, who was working with him, succeeded in getting Knowlton from under the tree, and then went for assistance. The injured man was taken to his home and Dr. Hedback was called, but his injuries proved so serious, however, that nothing could be done for him, and he died in a few hours without regaining conscious-ness.

The deceased was an industrious young man of good habits, and highly respected by all who knew him. He had been a resident of Barron county for nearly 20 years. He was 28 years old and married but had no children. Some time ago he had the misfortune to lose the sight of one eye, and it is probable this defect prevented him seeing his danger in time to prevent the accident.

The funeral was held yesterday, interment being made in the Barron cemetery. The service was conducted by Dr. Benson. [Friday, March 21, 1902, Barron County Shield, Barron, Wisconsin.]
