Charles Depcinski
A Sad and Unexpected Death - A very sad and fatal accident cast a cloud of gloom 
over the entire community both in country and town last Thurs at 4 o'clock, when 
Chas. Dipcenski met with terrible and sudden death at the barn raising of Omar 
Edwards, three miles south and one and one half miles west of Bad Axe. While the 
men were at work and had nearly completed raising the frame, Charles fell from 
the beam down into the basement, a distance of about 24 feet. It is said that he 
struck in four different places, each strike causing a serious injury.  

Kind and loving hands picked him up and did all in their power to assist the 
unfortunate one. Messages were at once sent for doctors to be in readiness at 
the hospital. Albert Kolberg's auto was secured as soon as possible and 
he was hurried away to the hospital, whre all believed if there was a ray of 
hope for life, he would find it. Relatives came as soon as possible; Fr Van Dyke 
came to administer the last blessing, but all was of no avail. Is about two 
hours Charles quietly went to his long rest. He never recovered after the fall 
and remained unconscious till death. His body was badly broken and sustained 
many injuries. 

The funeral was held from the family residence and the Cath ch in Sheridan, Sun 
at 9 o'clock. Fr Dolan officiating. His remains were laid to rest at the side of 
his father in the cemetery near the church. Almost 80 teams followed the remains 
besides five automobile loads and the church was filled to its capacity. Charles 
was beloved by all who knew him. He was the oldest son of Ameil and Caroline 
Depcinski. He was 23 years old the 24th day of May and leaves his mother, two 
brothers, Aloysius and Lee, two sisters, Aggie and Mrs Gust Wolfslager; two 
grandmothers and one grandfather, besides many aunts and uncles and cousins to 
mourn his sad and untimely death. Six girls dressed in white carried the 
beautiful floral offerings given to Charles as a last remembrance. Six cousins 
of almost his age acted as pall bearers. 

Lovingly and sadly his remains were given to the earth. 
His soul has entered Heaven. 
Charles is with us no more.
We loved him, yes we loved him.
But Angels loved him more;
And they have gently called him.
To yonder Shining Shore.
The Golden Gates are opened,
A gentle voice said come;
And with Farewell unspoken,
He calmly entered home.
