                     FELL FROM WINDMILL

George Velte of Woodland Went to Death.

The township of Woodland was considerably shocked last Wednesday evening to 
learn of the death of Geo. Velte, a brother of Mrs.Summ with whom he had made  
his home for years. The man had climbed to the top of the windmill to oil the 
machinery when in some way he fell to the ground. It is not known what caused 
the fall, nobody saw him fall and they knew of it only when he struck the earth. 
His sister immediately rushed to his side, but she could be of no assistance for 
after a few gasps he was gone.

Mr.Velte was 57 years of age and a bachelor.He was well known and liked in the 
vicinity of his home and his death was the cause of much grief. The deceased was 
a cousin of Samuel Velte, cashier of the Farmers & Merchants bank of this place.
