Fred J Vining
November 26, 1864 – February 1, 1898
Fred Vining of Orchard was almost instantly killed in the Wisconsin woods last week. The body was brought here for burial. The announcement of his sudden ending was a severe shock to his parents and friends, who have the sympathy of all.
Fred J. Vining, a teamster in the employ of Wm. Scanlon of this city met with almost instant death last Tuesday evening, while at work in the woods.
Three of Mr. Scanlon's teams were at work putting in logs for Henry Bolle, who is operating a logging camp in the town of Lucas, about 10 miles from this city. The unfortunate man was driving one of the teams at the time of the accident. It appears he was starting away from the skidway with a load of logs and striking a bare spot in the road the horses slacked up, coming almost to a standstill. Seeing that he was in danger of getting stuck,
Mr. Vining jumped from the load and proceeded to urge the horses, swaying them off to one side to get a start, as teamsters usually do in such cases.
He touched the night horse with the whip, which caused the animal to kick, one foot striking him directly below the heart, which resulted in death a short time after.
The deceased was a single man (illegible) years, 5 months and 5 days of age, and had resided in this locality for about two years, being in the employ of Mr. Scanlon a greater portion of the time.
His home is Orchard, Iowa.
