The Plymouth Review of Friday last contained the following account of an accident in which a Chilton young man was the victim:
Fred Berrens was seriously if not fatally injured Thursday afternoon at the factory of P. Wolf. He was working at a machine, when a board few and hit his right hand, tearing it so badly that it had to be sewed up. The board after hitting his hand struck him in the abdomen, penetrating the peritoneum, so that a larger incision had to be made to replace the intestines, after which the rent was sewed up. Drs. Nut and Deicher were called to attend the case.
A telegram was received in this city by the parents of the young man bringing the news of his death, which took place at ten o’clock on Sunday night.
Fred Berrens, who was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Berrens, was born in this city April 17, 1882. Some nine years ago he left here and secured employment at Plymouth, where he made his home until his death. Four years ago he was married to Minnie Borts, who survives him. He leaves his parents, five brothers and four sisters to mourn his sudden death.
All attended the funeral which took place on Wednesday afternoon. The N.F.L. and Hook and Ladder Company, of which Mr. Berrens was a member, attended the funeral.
