The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday March 10, 1887 A sad accident occurred on the farm of William LIEBERKUEENT(?), of Allison township, this county, last Friday. A German named Fred BEICHTER was engaged in digging a well, when at the depth of 100 feet, a stone that was used as a weight on the trap of the surface became detached and fell, striking him on the head killing him instantly. He was industrious and a good citizen, and the entire neighborhood regrets his sad fate.--Oberlin Opinion.
