OLE EINER AUSDAHL
- A Melancholy Accident and Sad Death ..... A dark gloom was cast over our town on Wednesday last, on the occurrence of a fatal accident to a bright and intelligent lad about 12 years of age, named Ole Einer son of Mr. and Mrs. Ausdahl, of this place. In the forenoon of Wednesday, Ole with Rev. Mr. Richardson's and Mr. Bollinger's boys, was playing soldier in Mr. Richardson's yard, carrying a pointed stick about 4 feet long in his hands, when he tripped over a croquet arch and fell onto the stick, the point entering his right eye and penetrating through to the brain. He removed a portion of the stick himself, & his play fellows helped him home, from whence he had gone forth a few hours before a bright lad of unusual promise. Dr. Caldwell was called, who removed a large sliver from the wound, and did all that medical science could do for the suffering boy, but he was past all human aid. He lingered until Friday morning, the brains excuding from the wound, suffering, only God knows what agony; at 10 1/2 o' clock of that day his spirit took flight to that better land, and little Ole was at rest.
Ole was more than an ordinary promising lad; he was quick to learn, and paid great attention to his lessons while at school, and was always prompt in attendance and deportment at the Baptist Sabbath School , where he regularly attended. His affections for his parents and love of home were unusually developed for a boy of his age; when not engaged in his studies he could generally be found at his home, and frequently acting as an interpreter for his father. His sad death, as we said before, cast a gloom over our town, and we know our citizens, one and all, unite in a heart felt sympathy with Mr. and Mrs. Ausdahl, in the sad death of their bright and only child, their boy Ole.
The funeral took place from the Baptist Church, at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Reverends Woodworth and Richardson officiating. The services were largely attended by our citizens, and were very impressive in their nature. On behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Ausdahl, and at their request, we extend their sorrowful thanks to the many kind friends who so promptly assisted them during their boy's illness, and on the day of the funeral.Funeral at the Baptist church.
