MEETS DEATH BY
ACCIDENT
ANDREW BLOOMQUIST A 
PROSPEROUS FARMER IS KILLED WHILE STACKING
HAY

Andrew Bloomquist a young farmer living about one and a half miles 
south of Magnet was killed Tuesday afternoon while helping a brother 
stack hay. They were stacking hay with a sweep stacker and one of the 
loads bought up by the sweep came with such force that Bloomquist was 
thrown off the stack. He fell head first to the ground and his brother 
thought that he was unconscious from the force of the fall. When he did 
not gain consciousness, examination was made and it was discovered that 
his neck had been broken and that death had been instantaneous. The 
deceased was a thrifty farmer. He was a hard worker and a good neighbor. 
He was well known to Wausa people having lived in this vicinity until a 
short time ago. He was a single man but left two brothers, a sister and 
father to mourn his loss.

The funeral of Mr. Bloomquist will be held from the home this forenoon at 
10:30 o’clock. Rev. Hultman of this place will conduct the services.
