Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: Norman GREENMAN ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, May 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ FATAL ACCIDENT The Runaway of Tuesday Causes the Death of One Of Our Most Highly Esteemed Citizens DIED: At his home near this city Wednesday at 5:45 p.m. Norman Greenman, aged 67 years and 6 months. One of the most shocking accidents that has occured in this vicinity recently overtook Mr. N. L. Greenman last Tuesday afternoon. He was in the timber, working, about four miles from his farm and had started for home when his horses became unmanageable. He was thrown from the load and the wagon heavily loaded with green timber, ran over his left leg at the knee. Mr. Sholtz saw the horses and started to find Mr. Greenman passing the broken wagon and scattered load on the way. He took Mr. Greenman to his home and medical aid was immediately called. From the first his injuries were considered to be fatal, as the knee was crushed completely, but he lived until Wednesday afternoon. There had been some talk of amputation and Drs. J. M. Evans, F. E. Colony, J. M. Evans, Jr., C. M. Smith, Jr., and Jackson of Madison, went to consult in the matter, but it was not deemed advisable to perform an operation as the shock and hemorrhage had already proven too much for the patient. The deceased was born in DeRuyter, Madison Co., New York, and removed to this place in 1877 and since that time has resided on his farm west of the city. A wife and seven children survive him. His only son, Mr. Henry Greenman, lives in Nebraska. Three daughters, Mrs. Anna Chatterton, Miss Angie and Miss Louise Greenman reside in Chicago. Miss Rissa and Miss Allie reside at home, although at this time, the former is at Seranac Lake, New York. Mrs. Ella Chatterton, another daughter, is in Meracaybo, Venezuela, S. A. The funeral will take place from the house today at 10 a.m., and from the Baptist church at 11 o'clock. January 19, 1895, The Badger, p. 1, col. 6, Evansville, Wisconsin
