A well-known Big Stone county farmer, Bill Hamann, 64, was killed 
instantly last Thursday morning when the truck he was driving went out 
of control and crashed into a ditch about three miles northeast of

road, when the mishap occurred near the home of his sister, the William 
Schellberg farm, at about 10:30 a. m.
He was alone in the truck, and it is believed he possibly suffered a 
stroke which caused the accident.

Church, March 31, 1912.
