Era The
following are the particulars of the suicide of John Stoltenberg, near Holstein, on
Tuesday of last week. A sad case
of suicide by drowning occurred on Tuesday on the farm of H. Stehlk, a half a mile south
of town. The person was John Stoltenberg, an
old man 77 years of age, a father in law of Mr. Stehlk. About two
years ago the old man came from Tama County to lived with Stehlk, where he has put in his
time just as he wished. Last spring he had an
attack of lung fever, but recovered and was feeling quite well until last Monday. On Tuesday while at dinner he remarked that he
wished he was dead and that he wished to have some one cut his throat and then he would be
done with. After dinner, Stehlk went to town,
leaving the old man in the shade near the house. When
he was returning he was met by one of his children, who told him that the old man could
not be found and that he was last seen in the pasture near a slough. Mr. Stehlk hastened there and found the old man
lying in a pond of water on his face, with the right hand on the back of the left hand
under his body. The pond was not over 16
inches deep at any point and about six feet wide. His
wooden shoes were standing about two feet from the water, which indicated that he stepped
out of them while facing the pond. The long
slough grass was mashed down at one point of the bank near his shoes, which made things
look as if he had sat down and then threw himself forward into the water and after he had
become partially strangled, tried to get out but was unable to do so on account of his
feebleness. MR. Stehlk pulled him out and sent
for a doctor and his neighbors tried to resuscitate him but were unsuccessful. The coroner was summoned by telephone, who arrived
about 9 o’clock in company with Dr. Karterman and Jay D. Miller, of Ida. Coroner Baker at once proceeded to summon H.H.
Lund, Dr. J.M. Walker, and S.F. Jensen, as jurors, and Dr. J.C. Edgan, A.G. Smith, W.F.
Smith and W.F. Hutton as witnessess. AN

July 10,1884 Pioneer The startling intelligence was received in our city last evening of
the horrible death of John Madison, 26 years old. He was woring for Mr. Kerney, on
the Dr. Collett farm in Grant Township and was tending a vicious Jersey Bull, owned by
Collett, when the animal made a lunge at Mr. Madison, knocking him down and trampled upon
him and dug his heart out with his horns before assistance could be rendered. It
occurred in the stall, and the manger was so high that Madison could not get over it.
He had just let the bull in from outdoors and had a rope around its horns and down
through a ring in its nose. A little boy of W.T. Dawkins was first to see the affair
and called for his father, but by the time he arrived the bull had pitched the victim over
into the manger and had divested himself of rope and ring, and was then master of the
stable. Mr. Kerney kept the bull at bay with a pitchfork, while Mr. Dawkins climbed
over the manger from the front way and lifted the lifeless body of Madison out, which was
placed upon the barn floor and the corner sent for. The man's heart protruded from
an ugly wound in the left side. July 10,1884

When he reached the cave he waited for Mrs. Wolfe, but she didn't arrive, he left the child and went to find her when to his utter surprise, found her lying dead on the ground. SOme of the material for the erection of the new house was on the ground and the strong wind had blown it around and in this way Mrs. Wolfe was struck on the back of the head by a board 10 feet long, causing almost instant death.

Era Wednesday
morning July 23,1884, Mr. Alex Arnold departed from this life at the age of 21 years. The announcement was quite a shock to his many
friends as all were under the impression that he was recovering. Over a year ago he came
to Galva twp. with his father’s family, and by his exemplary character and many
qualities he gained the respect and esteem of everyone with whom he became acquainted. The cause of his death was typhoid malarial fever
and although all medical aid and attention was given him, it was the will of his Maker,
that he should be called away.

Dr. B.F. Warnock that their father, Richard Warnock, died in Florida on Tuesday night.
The old gentleman had only arrived there four days before, having gone there to
spend the winter, hoping to find relief for his ill health. The remains will be
brought back to Battle Creek and should arrive on Saturday night or Monday morning. The
deceased was 68 years old and a pioneer settler of Ida COunty and was highly esteemed,
kind and loved by his many acquaintances. December 25,1884 Pioneer Last week we chronicled in brief the death of Mr. Richard Warnock, of
this county. The deceased had been troubled with asthma for several years and for the past
two has been a great sufferer, during the winter. About two weeks ago he bade, what
he thought might be his farewell to wife and children here, and proceeded to Florida in
company of his son Dr. B. Frank Warnock. The party arrived at Tallahassa on Friday noon
and on the following Tuesday night, the old gentleman had passed away. A heart
affliction also set in, and was the cause of his sudden death. Although his friends
never expected to see him survive the winter. The remains were at once encased in a
metallic coffin and in charge of the affectionate son were brought to Battle Creek,
arriving there on last Monday night, and were laid to rest in the cemeter of that city
last Tuesday afternoon, and not-with-standing the cold blustery day, there was a large
crowd present to pay their respects to the good old neighbor who seemed like a father to
all. The services were held at the Presbyterian Church and conducted by Rev.
LeClere, Pastor of the church and was assisted by Rev. A.E. Smith, Pastor of the M.E.
Church at Ida Grove.
