Saturday, OCtober 29, 1898 Wray Gazette
Martin Heindel, the 14 year old son of John Heindle, met with an accident last 
Saturday afternoon, which resulted in his death.  He was taking the horses to 
the river to water, riding a bronco, when the animal pitched and fell 
backward, the horn of the saddle striking the boy in the stomach.  The father, 
who was at Eikson, Colorado, was notified by telegram of the sad accident, and 
arrived Monday morning.  The burial took place Monday.  Rev. Graff conducting 
the services at the home and at the cemetery.

Martin Heindel, youngest son of John Heindel, died Sunday morning.  He was 
thrown from a horse the day before.  The horse reared and fell backward, 
catching Martin under it, the saddle striking him in the stomach.  He was 
able, with the help of his sister, to get to the house and went to bed.  He 
remained conscious up to within an hour of his death.  He was buried in the 
Wray Cemetery on Monday.  Martin was 14 years old and an exceptionally bright, 
active boy and the pet of the family and neighborhood.
