A very sad accident occurred to Ulrich Dickmeyer, a retired German farmer who lived on west Lincoln street, last Saturday a little before noon. He took a small load of rubbish out to the bridge over Cauble creek on the way out to Dana College, and was dumping it when his horse became frightened and turned sharply, throwing him to the ground. Both tugs came unhooked in some way and the horse ran up the road leaving the wagon where it was. The fall had dislocated Mr. Dickmeyer’s right shoulder and otherwise bruised him inwardly so he was unable to get into the buggy, when L. F. Hilton and Herb Noble drove by and found him. They took him home, and he called Dr. Fees who later called Dr. Stewart to assist in getting the shoulder back into place, Mr. Dickmeyer being large man, weighing about 250 pounds. The shoulder was paining him a good deal, and they gave him a small injection of morphine to ease the pain before they administered the chloroform. The shoulder went back into place alright and Mr. Dickmeyer seemed to be partially conscious while the doctors were lifting him to put on the bandages. His heart action was normal and his breathing regular when they got him in the bed and left him, expecting he would sleep for a time from the effects of the morphine and from the relief from pain. At 7 o’clock he was still lying in a semi comatose condition, but there were symptoms of pressure on the brain from a cerebral hemorrhage, his throat being partially paralyzed and also the muscles of his eyes. By this time all the effects of the chloroform and morphine were gone, but the pulse and temperature mounted up to an alarming rate and breathing was difficult. The respiratory muscles finally became totally paralyzed and death came peacefully at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Funeral services will be held at the local German Lutheran church, of which the deceased was a faithful and devoted member, at 9 o’clock this morning, and also at the Lutheran church north of Arlington at 1:30. Interment will be made in the cemetery near that church where three children are now buried. Rev. Eckhardt will conduct the service at both places. Mr. Dickmeyer was born in Germany Nov. 19, 1841 and was therefore not yet 68 years of age. He came to America in 1866 and after two years at Quincy, Ill. he came to this county, settling on a farm over near Arlington. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Hovendick in 1873 and eleven children were born to them, eight of whom are now living, one daughter, Mrs. Henry Laaker, and seven stalwart sons, William, Herman, Henry, Louis, Edward, John and Fred, all being married but the two youngest. Mr. Dickmeyer came to make his home in this city about four years ago and was enjoying the quiet life of his neat city home. He was a good citizen, kindly and generous, and his sudden death brings deep sorrow to many hearts.
