Sam Manthey
Waseca Herald, September 13, 1889
Just as we were about to close our forms we learn that Sam Manthey, of this city, son of Joe Manthey, of St. Mary, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon, Sept. 12, at the M. & St. L. gravel pit, in the town of Otisco. He was at the time on top of a loaded car of gravel, leveling it off, when some other cars were let loose and came down against the car he was on with great force. The shock threw him off. He fell upon the track and two trucks passed over him, breaking his neck, and one arm, and otherwise bruising him. He died almost instantly. His remains were brought to the city by Mr. Herman Rieck. He leaves a wife and three or four children in rather poor circumstances. He was born in this county and was about thirty-two years old.
