Wurster, Harry C. - Harry C. Wurster was injured m an accident at his farm Wednesday afternoon of last week and died at the Coakly hospital in Creston on Thursday, October 8.
Mr. Wurster was engaged in cutting down a large tree and had moored it with a hay rope to keep it from falling on the buildings. As the tree started to fall Mr. Wurster ran to get away from it, tripped over the rope and fell, striking his side against a grapple hay fork that was fastened to the end of the rope.
Although he suffered considerable pain at the time there was little indication that he had been seriously injured. He was taken to the hospital in Creston where further examination showed that he was badly injured internally.
His death followed before anything could be done to relieve him.
Mr. Wurster was born in Lenox on March 9, 1886 and at the time of his death he was 45 years, 6 months and 29 days of age. He was an industrious man, a good manager and a good neighbor. He was highly respected in the community and his abrupt passing brings to all who knew him a sense of loss.
He was married to Miss Rose Shaffer on March 8, 1916 and moved to the farm where he since resided. There were born three children, Pearl Mary, age 13; Harvey Glen, age 12; and Howard Leigh, age 10. Besides his wife and children he is survived by his mother, Mrs. Catherine Wurster and the following brothers and sisters who live at Lenox: Mrs. Kate Eberle, Mrs. Lizzie Haering, Mrs. Amelia Easier, Mrs. Lena Stamets, Fred Wurster, Jack Wurster. Another brother, George Wurster, of Roundup, Mont, was unable to be here for the funeral.
