Postville Herald, Friday, 20 September 1918. From the Elgin Echo.

G. C. Jensen of West Union, aged seventy, fell from a tree in his yard Friday evening and died instantly, his neck being broken. His fall was only about twelve feet. He had been trimming trees in the afternoon and left his work to go uptown. Returning, he left his saw in the fork of a tree and climbed a ladder. It is thought that he might have been reaching for the saw when he fell. No one saw the accident, which happened about 6:15, but the body was found within ten minutes after he fell.- Elgin Echo.

Deceased was the father of Mrs. James Pixler, residing south of Postville, and was known to a number of our people, who will learn with regret of his unfortunate passing.
