The Lewistown Gazette, Mifflin County Historical Society microfilm roll # N-023-5, paper dated July 23, 1874, page 3
On Wednesday, July 8th, in the 85th year of his age, Conrad Ulrich, died at 
the home of his son, Conrad.  He perished as one of the victims of the 
terrible storm-king, on July 4, 1874 by the falling of the Juniata Bridge.  He 
was a native of Hesse, Germany and emigrated to America years ago with his 
family.  He was on the bridge when the storm approached and was thrown down by 
the force of the wind and suffered a compound fracture of the leg.  It was 
decided that amputation of his leg at this age was out of the question.  He 
served in the Mexican War, was a good citizen and an honest man.
