Terrible Accident
Waukon, Iowa, Aug 18 - Word was received here this morning of a terrible accident which befell one Julius Lyngaas, a young farmer residing west of town. He was on the grain stack assisting a threshing crew and in some way, apparently forgetting his surroundings, stepped into the machine and his right leg was crushed to a pulp before the engine could be stopped. He was taken to a house but bled to death before medical aid could be summoned.

~Dubuque Daily Herald, August 19, 1896
~Note: He is buried in the Glenwood Lutheran cemetery, Winneshiek co. Iowa. A photo of his gravestone has been posted on the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project. The inscription gives his dates as 02/14/1866 - 08/14/1896
