The Ionia Daily Standard, Thursday, October 24, 1907


Wm. Badgley of Lake Odessa received word of the death of his son Lewis at 
Canton, South Dakota, last week.  He went west about two years ago, and his 
parents have not heard from him since. This is the fourth young man who has 
gone from Lake Odessa to the west to be brought back dead within four months.

The funeral services for Lewis Badgley was held on Sunday at the South Boston 
M. E. church, Rev. A. E. North officiating.  The church was crowded to the 
door with mourning friends and neighbors.  

The young man met his death by being run over by a construction train.  At the 
time of the accident he was engaged in unloading poles from the train while in 
motion.  One of the poles knocked him off between two cars.  The car wheels 
passed over both arms, his head and shoulders.  Death was instantaneous.  The 
accident happened at a point about 16 miles west of Lemmon, North Dakota.
