Postville Herald, Thur., 12 May 1927. From the Waukon Journal.

Creighton, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Huffman, of Rossville, met with a most lamentable accident Friday which resulted in his death at 5:30 Saturday morning.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock he was going out to visit some gopher traps he had set, riding a bicycle. Just east of the village the front wheel hit some obstacle, turning, and the handle bars striking him in the side and throwing him off. Ed McClintock, who was nearby with his car, picked him up and took him to his home. A physician was called but there was no indication that the boy was seriously injured. Toward morning he grew worse and the doctor was again called for, but death ensued before his arrival. -- Waukon Journal.
