Claire. Also two brothers, Joseph and George Meyer, and one sister, Mrs. Wagner, all of Thorp. The funeral services will take place at St. Fidelis church in School Hill, on Friday morning, with interment in the church

HECKMANN FAMILY
On Thursday, August 27th, a sad accident took place in the town of Meeme, Manitowoc Co., about six miles distant from Kiel. Our informant states that two little sons of Widow Heckmann, aged respectively three and five years of age, were at play in the yard adjacent to the house when the son of the lessee, came into the yard for a reaper. Seemingly, without paying the slightest attention to the presence of the children, he placed the machine in gear, hitched the team to it, and turning around drove right on to the little ones, the sickle cut the right limb of each so badly as to make amputation necessary. The careless, negligent driver; without a thought of the ruin he had wrought to two innocent little creatures, started off to the field, while the little ones lay suffering on the ground. They were taken to the house, and the assistance of Dr. Hayes of St. Nazianz, and Dr. Stoelting of Kiel, called, who found it necessary to amputate the injured limbs of both. The family to which these crippled children belong, has been sadly afflicted their father dying a year previous to the late accident leaving the widow in straightened circumstances with a family of children to battle life. This additional load is deeply regretted by numerous acquaintances.
