Marvin Clarance Hamann  March 20, 1930 to June 9, 1946

Youth Fatally Injured Sunday in Gun Accident
Marvin C. Hamann Loses Life in Accidental Discharge of Shotgun

An Ortonville boy, Marvin Clarence Hamann, who was to have graduated from 
eighth grade tonight, was fatally injured last Sunday afternoon when his 
dog playfully jumped on him, resulting in the accidental discharge of the 
410 shotgun which he was holding.  The shot penetrated his body above his 
hip.
At the time of the tragic accident, Marvin and his brother, Arthur were 
in the farmyard preparing to shoot blackbirds.  When  Marvin was shot, 
the other boy ran to the neighbors for help.  Marvin died from excessive 
loss of blood enroute to the hospital.  Funeral services were held today 
in the Trinity Lutheran church with the Rev. Koch officiating.  
Interment was in the Ortonville cemetery.
Marvin, son of Mr. and Mrs. William C. Hamann, was 16 years of age, born 
March 20, 1930 at Big Stone City and was baptized three days later in 
St. John's Lutheran church in Alban township in South Dakota.  On July 
9, 1944 he was confirmed at Trinity Lutheran church in Ortonville.  He 
moved with his family to a farm north of Ortonville in the fall of 1941.
Surviving are his parents, two grandparents, one great grandparent, two 
brothers, Arthur and Lawrence, and a sister, Elda.
