The condition of Albert Rouse, the young man who was injured so severely at Gretna, a few days ago in the explosion of a boiler, is reported as being just as well as could possibly be expected under the circumstances. Mr. Rouse is suffering greatly from his injuries which are of a most severe nature and his recovery is very doubtful as yet. His two sisters, Mrs. Warren TULENE and Mrs. Alvin JONES of this city were at his bedside yesterday and found him resting as easily as possible under the trying circumstances. The splendid physical condition of Mr. Rouse has been the only thing that has sustained him during his suffering and had he not been of such a heavy build he certainly would have been killed by the explosion, which as it was almost tore his right arm from its socket. His friends here will anxiously await word from his bedside. Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 10, 1916 ALFRED ROUSE DIES AT THE HOSPITAL >From Wednesday’s Daily. Yesterday afternoon at 5:30 at the St. Joseph hospital in Omaha, Alfred Rouse died after several days of the most painful suffering due to the severe injuries received in the explosion of a boiler at a far near Gretna on July 31st. The accident resulted in the death instantly of one of the helpers on the threshing outfit and the inflicting of the injuries to Mr. Rouse that have since proved fatal. The unfortunate man was cut and bruised in a terrible manner and it was not expected from the first that he could recover, but his splendid vitality sustained him for the past ten days. The body will be brought to this city on No. 2 this afternoon and the casket taken to the home of Mrs. Warren TULENE where the funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock and the interment had in the Oak Hill cemetery. Mr. Rouse was thirty-six years of age at the time of his death and unmarried. He was a brother of Mrs. Warren Tulene and Mrs. Alvin Jones of this city.
