The Washington Republican Washington County Friday July 19, 1901 News of a very sad ending of the life of Mrs. Kate LOHMEYER, of Linn, reached this place Sunday morning. The circumstance is a very strange one and happened in about the following manner. Mrs. Lohmeyer lived in Linn and Saturday afternoon took her horse and buggy and started for the home of her son, living north of Linn. Upon arrival at the house she found that her son and family were just starting for town so started to return with them. Mrs. Lohmeyer had only driven a short distance when the horse became frightened and ran into a ditch, throwing Mrs. Lohmeyer out upon her head in such a way that her neck was instantly broken. When found by her son a few moments later, she was dead. Her body was taken to her home in Linn and the funeral services were held in the Lutheran church of that place Sunday morning. The deceased leaves a family of four children, two boys and two girls and a large circle of friends to mourn the sad and untimely ending of a good life.
