From Story County Watchman November 20, 1885

Andrew Mickelson was found dead on Sunday last near Huxley, and it is thought he fell while trying to reach the train, and his face struck in some water, which virtually drowned him. He had a couple bottles of whisky in his pockets and was undoubtedly under its influence. His family lives in Sheldahl and he leaves a family of children. He was about 55 years of age.
