Tragic End ol Piweer.
Of the many Germans from
Russia in these parts none are
as well known and as highly re
spected as Andreas Seitz,, who
lived some 20 miles north of town.
And therefore the report of his
sudden death, as chronicled in
the Aberdeen papers brings a
deep shock of pain to the many
who had learned to know him-
Some ten days ago Mr. Seitz
had again to be taken tc Aber
deen, there to submit to the des
perate expedient of the amputa
tion of a leg which had been
fractured last summer, as he was
returning home from Lemmon,
and, his horses becoming un
manageable, was thrown from
his wagon. Before medical aid
could be secured, blood poisoning
had set in, but the ravages of the
poison were staved, under the
best care that could be given him
at the Samaritan hospital at
Aberdeen, where he had been
taken. However the wound fail
ed to heal, and the deceased,
mindful of his splendid manly
vigor, refused to have the lirnb
amputation. He returned home
after three months in the hospi
tal, but finally agreed to the am
putation. and two weeks ago
made the trip to Aberdeen, where
he was operated. However, 4i
hisematiated condition he had
contracted pneumonia, while en
route, and he fell a victim to the
malady Feb. 19.
Andreas Seitz came from
former family home in th?- t-J
tasus county of Russia the spring
of 1908, being the last of a family
of parents and married brothers
and sisters to leave the old home.
His brother and parents were al
ready established in the country
where Hettinger and Adams
county corner on Morton county,
and here he also found a home.
He had come endowed with splen
did health and a nice sum of
ready money, a fine intelligence,
energy and moral poise, clearly
embodying in himself those quali
ties that make for the best of
citizenship. His fellow country
men about him soon recognized
in him their partiarcft and leader,
and in consequence of his sad
demise there is much heartrend
ng sorrow and mourning in many
of the humble sod cabins of the
vicinity.
Andreas Seitz was about 48
years of age and leaves a widow
and five children, aged from 4 to
20 years, besides his parents, a
brother and a sister. The body
was taken to Bentley and interred
in the cemetery of the German
Baptist congregation nearby.
