DEATH OF FRED STRONG
The Well Known Citizen Farmer Dies of Internal Injuries
Fred Strong, of Rondell township, who met with an accident and suffered internal injuries, while engaged in harvesting on his farm about ten days ago, died last evening at 9 o’clock, aged 47 years. The funeral services will be held at his late residence at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. Strong was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of southern Brown county, and the news of his death will be learned with general regret. He was a good neighbor and citizen and stood high in the estimation of all who had dealing with him. His residence here dates from 1882 when the prairies were largely uninhabited and the real development of the country had commenced. His home and property interests in Rondell were of a very substantial and well to do character, for he was always enterprising and industrious.
When he fell and received his injuries they were not thought to be of a serious nature, but complications followed which could not be successfully combatted. The immediate relatives of the deceased are the wife and son, Elmer D. Strong, for whom much sympathy and sorrow are felt.
