A Shocking Death

Ground under the Wheels
Hank Woolworth Tries to Pass under a Car and is Killed

S.H. Woolworth came to a horrible death yesterday at 3 P.M. by being mangled under a freight train which was switching at the sixth
street Crossing.

Stephen Earl Woolworth, the son of Stephen Henry, was only six years old at the time of his fathers death.

[NOTE: Stephen Henry's wife was Martha Ellis POWERS, an obit is posted for her also. Her husband was mentioned in the obit but didn't go into details of his death---above are the details of his death.
FAMILY NOTE: Stephen Henry Woolworth went by the nick name of Hank. Also in the LeMars paper they listed the parents as not listed so I had to copy what they had. The parents of Stephen Henry Woolworth were James Robert Woolworth, who lived in Plymouth County Hungerford Township, and his second wife I believe was Cordelia Adeline Lampman.]
