Our village received a shock last Thursday afternoon when we heard of the
terrible accident that had happened at Henry Huffman's. His hired man,
Walter Nunn, went out after dinner to do chores, after an hour or so,
Claude, the son went out and found Walter lying in the yard. He called to
him but could get no answer, so called Mrs. Huffman, who telephoned for
help and when Mr. Johnson and Mr. Danks came they found he was dead. They
carried him in and sent for Dr. Iverson of Stoughton, but he could do
nothing. A coroner from Madison and a jury from Stoughton came and it was
found he had been trampled to death by a bull; his ribs were crushed and he
was terribly bruised, but his face was mercifully spared. He was a young
man of excellent habits and loved wherever he had worked. The funeral was
held at Mr. Huffman's Sunday at half past two, Rev. Heritage and the
Baptist choir of Stoughton officiated. The singing was sweetly beautiful
and there was not a dry eye in the gathering. The flowers were many and
testified to the love of his friends. He had no relatives here, but an aged
father, mother and sister reside in England, to whom Rev. Heritage will
soon write the sad news. Mr. and Mrs. Huffman, Mr. and Mrs. Asperheim and
Mr. and Mrs. Hull went as chief mourners, he having worked years for each
of them.
