Died From Accident
New Hampton Courier— John Moetch, a prominent farmer of Jacksonville township, received serious injuries last Friday from which he died Tuesday afternoon in a St. Paul hospital, whither he had been taken for treatment. While working he fell astride a fence with such force as to injure himself internally. Monday, with his son George, and Dr. Babcock, he went to St. Paul hoping that an operation might be of benefit, but it proved unsuccessful and he died the next day at 3 p. m.
