CLARENCE SCHULTZ YOUNG FARMER FATALLY HURT
Hurled From Hayrack When Struck In Face By Heavy Ring Bolt
NECK BROKEN IN FALL
Was Resident of Stanton Township All His Life

Clarence A. Schultz, 34, well known young farmer of Stanton township, where
he resided all his life, was fatally hurt Thursday afternoon while working
on his farm, dying from the effects of the accident Sunday afternoon at the
Sacred Heart Hospital.

Schultz suffered the fracture of two vertebrae in his neck and injury to the
spinal cord.

He was engaged with his brother and an uncle putting up hay in the barn and
was standing on a hay wagon, when a trip rope, used in pulling hay into the
mow, broke. On the recoil when the rope broke a heavy iron ring and bolt
struck him with great force across the bridge of the nose, rendering him
insensible and he toppled backward over the wagon rack, falling on his head
and shoulders. He was brought to the Sacred Heart Hospital and several
physicians were called. From the first it was thought his injuries were
such as to preclude recovery and after suffering intense pain for three days
he passed away.

LIFE LONG RESIDENT.
Mr. Schultz was a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Schultz, of Stanton township,
and was born January 2, 1901. He attended school and helped on the farm and
when of age engaged in farming on his own account. He was a successful
farmer, hard working and industrious, and esteemed in the community.

He was united in marriage April 2, 1925, with Miss Margaret Walsh, at “The
Little Brown Church in the Vale,” near Nashua, Iowa. She died five years
ago, leaving the husband with a daughter, Margaret Phyllis, aged 5.

His death is mourned by his daughter; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. C.
Schultz, of Stanton township; two sisters, Mrs. Clarence Kowalke, of Sioux
City, Miss Elsie Schultz; and a brother, Rudolph, at home.
