Lake County Independent - July 28, 1905
Fred D. Sturm was born near Long Grove September 8, 1889 and died at the home of 
his cousin July 21, 1905.
  His parents both dying when quite young, he was taken to the home of his 
uncle, Jacob Sturm, Sr., where he was educated and had since lived.  While 
celebrating July 4th in company with his fellow friends he was accidently shot 
in the hand by a small pistol.  The wound not being painful not much attention 
was paid to it at first.  But in a day or two he went to the doctor and had it 
dressed and was getting along nicely when it suddenly began to grow worse and 
symptoms of lock-jaw were shown.  He gradually failed until Friday morning he 
breathed his last despite all the loving hands and skill could do.
  The funeral was held at his late home Sunday, where a large circle of friends 
and relatives gathered to pay their last respects.  The flower laden casket 
borne by six of his young friends was placed in the cemetery adjoining the 
church were his loved ones have gone before.
