August 20, 1864 --- December 18, 1918

A. H. Wonderly knows what means to "monkey with a buzz saw" says the Livermore Gazette. He was performing real manual labor when it happened. He was assisting in the wood sawing at the home of his son John where the gas engine was popping and the power saw was fairly eating up the cordwood. He was doing the feeding when the accident happened and his hand got mixed with the saw teeth, cutting and lascerating, the back of his hand in very bad shape. The only fortunate thing about it is that no bones or cords are severed. So that perhaps he will have a good hand after the flesh is healed.

There were born to them the following children: Mrs. Josephine Sargent of Des Moines; Albert of Fort Dodge; John at Livermore; Mrs. Angelina Kundalien at Lu Verne; Mrs. Mary Fisher at Le Claire, Wis; Fred and Caroline at Livermore. the wife and all the children survive him.

Mr. Wonderly was a stone mason by trade and has worked at that business ever since living here. He was a very industrious, hard working man, up early and late in all kinds of weather, earnestly striving to furnish his family with the comforts of life, living and working according to the best of his ability.

The funeral services were held at the Sacred Heart Catholic church and burial was made in the Mount Calvary Cemetery.
