FROM MERRILL RECORD
Ed Klatt son of J. L. Klatt of this place was found dead Tuesday morning
sitting in an auto in one of the garages in Sioux City. Ed who was about
18 years old, operated an auto delivery for one of the big grocery
stores in Sioux City. From evidence it is supposed that he had cranked
up the engine and then sprang into the seat, intending to back out of
the garage. He was alone in the garage but sometime later an employee
came in and hearing the auto engine going wondered why the young man did
not throw in the clutch and move out. He stepped up to the car and was
horrified to find the young man dead, his body bent forward and his
hands still holding on to the steering wheel. The city police were at
once notified. They found that the body was still warm indicating that
the lad had not been dead very long. Ed Klatt has been making his home
the past few years with his mother, Mrs. Emma Klatt in Sioux City. He
was a most excellent young man of very industrious and moral habits. He
was born on a farm in Liberty Township near Merrill.
