The Rochester Sentinel
Saturday, April 24, 1880
A sad death occurred in the western portion of this county on last Saturday 
night . . . . Last Saturday a Mr. BLASSER came to town in his wagon for the 
purpose of doing some trading. Among other purchases made was that of a gallon 
of whisky, secured in a jug. While in town he met a young man named GILBERT 
who formerly lived in the neighborhood with Blasser. Gilbert proposed to go 
home with him . . . . They had proceeded but a short distance out of town when 
Blasser remembered that he had forgotten an errand in town and returned to 
attend to it, leaving Gilbert in charge of the team and jug of whisky . . . . 
drank about three pints of it . . . . On Sunday morning he was found dead in 
bed. He was buried at the Leiters Ford grave-yard on Monday . . . . Gilbert 
was about 16 years old and not given to drink . . . .
