From Der Nord Westen, 26 Nov. 1896: A terrible accident occurred Fri. in Town Newton. Farmer Andreas Fracina(sic) was working in his barn that day cutting chaff when his 9-yr. old daughter Gertrude approached the machine. Her clothing caught in the gears and before the machine could be brought to a stop, she was already dead. The funeral of the poor child took place Sun. at the Catholic Cemetery in Newton.
