The community was startled by the report Saturday night that Jurgen Sachau, a resident of this city, had been struck and killed by an engine on the Chicago & Northwestern railway at the McHenry crossing just west of the city. It was but a short time until the report was confirmed and it was known that an accident had occurred at the crossing which resulted in his death.

Mr. Sachau for some time has been engaged in peddling fish in the country and on Saturday, as usual, he was west and south of town selling and delivering his product. It was while he was returning home at the close of his day's work and while attempting to cross the railroad at the McHenry farm that passenger train No. 16, from the west, due here at 7:23 struck his buggy, knocking it to pieces and throwing him some distance at the side of the track, causing instant death. It seems a miracle that the horse escaped without injury to speak of, coming on to town with the shafts of the buggy to which was attached one wheel.

It is said the train crew knew nothing of the accident until the train reached the station when the attention of the engineer was called to the fact that there was a portion of a buggy on the cowcatcher. The section men and others were sent down the track and made the discovery. The boy, which was afterwards brought to town, was discovered lying at the east side of the highway on the cattle guard.

Jurgen Frederich Sachau was born December 8, 1842, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and was united in marriage in 1867 to Magdalena Gasper. (rest of obit. Missing but you can get this Oct. 25, 1911 Denison Review microfilm- entire write up is on front page.)

The old gentleman had been ill for some time, and the old age lent its aid to his final summons.

Mr. Saggau was born in Germany 74 years ago and came to America with his family in 1872. In 1876 they came to Crawford county and settled northeast of Denison where the family made their home all these years and prospered and thrived.

Funeral service was held Thursday afternoon at one o'clock at the German Lutheran church.

Gone before us, O, our Mother.
To the spirit land!
Vainly look we for another,
In her place to stand.

Dear is the spot where Christians sleep,
And sweet the strains that pour,
O! Why should we in anguish weep.
She is not lost, but gone before.

Sudden Summons of E.R. Snell.

An unfortunate ending to what had been a splendid day, was the death of Mr. E. R. Snell, of Denison, Sunday evening who, with his wife and daughter, was visiting at the home of his brother, H.N. Snell, and participating in the ceremonies incident to the dedication of the Methodist church.

Mr. and Mrs. Snell were at the church in attendance upon the evening service. When meeting was about half over Mr. Snell remarked to his wife that he was feeling sick and believed he would go home. They got up and passed out of the room and as they were descending the steps in the lobby, and when near the bottom, Mr. Snell was seen to stagger, and before he could be caught fell to the floor and died within a few moments. He was carried into the parsonage and a physician summoned, but he had passed beyond all earthly aid.

The body was then taken to the home of his brother and prepared for shipment for his home at Denison, and it was taken there Monday afternoon, accompanied by his grief stricken wife and daughters, Miss Virgie, and Mrs. Allen McLaughlin, and Mr. McLaughlin and J.B. Dakin. Mr. and Mrs. H. N. Snell and Miss Snell went down yesterday to attend the funeral, which was to be held today.

Mark Staley was born on the farm near Charter Oak, April 25, 1887. He made his home here until he was married six years ago, when he went with his wife's people to seek a fortune in the new country west of the river in South Dakota. The home was made at Burke. On the 24th of November, 1909, he was married to Miss Mary Gaestel, who survives him. To them four children were born and this little family he had to leave behind when the scythe of the grim reaper caught him.

The funeral was held Monday in Burke and interment was made there. Mr. Staley and the boys are expected home tonight.

News of the death of Dr. Don Talcott at his home at Crofton, Neb. after a short but severe attack of pneumonia reached here Sunday morning, causing the deepest sorrow to the family and to many friends.

Don was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. V. Talcott, who were well known residents of this county. After graduating at the Dow City high school, he went to the Denison Normal college where he will be remembered as a good student and a keen and witty debater. From there he went to study medicine at the State university. After finishing the course at Iowa City, he went to Crofton, Neb. and began to practice with his brother Dr. J. M. Talcott.

Since then his visits home have been few for he has devoted himself to his profession, risking his life to save that of a patient in a flooded cabin or as certainly by overwork. Of a generous disposition, no appeal was made to him without a response. A convincing speaker, he used his talent untiringly for the Red Cross. He took a post graduate course in New York, was worshipful master of the Masonic lodge and president of the district medical association for several years. Many mourn the loss of this life of achievement and of promise cut short.

Dow City Items - The sad news reached here Monday that Dr. Don Talcott had passed away in a Sioux City hospital, his death being caused by pneumonia. The deceased was well known here, having been born and reared to manhood in this vicinity.

The family and connections of Uncle Talcott are probably the most numerous of any family in Crawford County: at the last family gathering, upwards of sixty met together at the old home. He was in his 69 year, and but for his affectation of the heart, he might have lived many years longer. Uncle Martin was ever ready to help the suffering and destitute. May his numerous descendants follow his example and make his life their model.

His mission is done, well and faithfully done,
And he rests from his labors of life;
While we mourn for him now there shines on his brown,
A crown in the heaven above.

Dunlap, Iowa - William Thompson, a farmer who lived seven miles northwest of Dunlap, aged 60 years and his son, aged 12, were run over and instantly killed by the Northwestern fast mail, No. 15, westbound, about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The accident occurred within about seven hundred feet of the railroad station in Dunlap and was witnessed by a number of people who were on the depot platform.

Thompson and his son had been in Dunlap and had started home, riding in a tup carriage. Evidently they had forgotten something, as they had turned about after cresting the railroad and were returning to town when killed. The horses, which had crossed the track, were uninjured. The carriage was directly in the past of the train and was literally demolished. When people reached Thompson and his son, which was in a few minutes, both were dead. Their necks were broken and they were otherwise frightfully injured. It is believed that neither of the occupants of the carriage saw or heard the train approaching.

An inquest will be held tomorrow. The trainsmen have been summoned. Thompson leaves a widow and two grown children.

Contributed
After a protracted and heroic struggle Mr. Elmer Winans resident four miles west of town, died suddenly at his home. July 3rd and 4th he had been in town with his family evidently more anxious not to deprive his loved ones the pleasure of the celebration than o look after his personal comfort. His appearance then gave his friends cause for serious alarm but that the end should have come as suddenly as it did no one was prepared to realize.

The funeral took place this afternoon from the family homestead, burial being made in the new cemetery at Lemmon, Rev. F. T. Berkheiser conducting the sad ceremony. For a young man Mr. Winans had succeeded wonderfully in impressing himself upon his community. Public spirited to the degree, he has ever been ready to lend a helping hand where help was needed, and to sacrifice his time and effort: and it was but meet recognition of his fine manhood, that his neighbors had recently elected him township supervisor of Prairie township and school director.

He leaves a widow and three children to mourn the heavy loss. There are here also his mother, a sister and a brother, a second brother is at Bonesteel, S. D. and another lives at Deloit, Ia. where he had only last Sunday returned after spending the Fourth here. The first of the pioneers of Prairie township, whose dust is to hallow the new ripped sod of the conquered wilderness, Elmer Winans, though dead will live with us in the memory of his sterling worth for he fought a valiant fight.

Elmer Winans was born July 10, 1876 at Deloit, Crawford county, Iowa. He was the second son of Josiah and Anna Winans and was at the time of his death 32 years old, this being his birthday. He was married February 23, 1898 to Miss Vida Albright. To this union three sons were born and these together with his wife, mother, three brothers and a sister survive him, his father and brother having died four months before. He was a kind brother, loving father and husband, dutiful son and faithful neighbor.

The not altogether unexpected death of Mr. Lawrence Winans took place on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at his home two miles east of Deloit, on the old Winans homestead. The deceased was a grandson of Mr. Clark Winans, one of the pioneers of the county. He was the son of Joseph Winans and wife, and born at the old home two miles east of Deloit on August 27, 1875 and so was in his thirty-third year. When but a lad his father was accidentally killed and this put a sorrow in his life. He was married Dec. 24, 1897, to Miss Maggie Hopper and they have a daughter, Jessie.

He leaves to mourn his death this wife and daughter, his mother, four brothers, a sister and many relatives. All were with him when he died. The funeral will be held at the Catholic church in Denison on Thursday at eleven a.m.
