Death of Carl Beastock.
This community was shocked Sunday morning to hear of the death of Carl Beastock, one of the pioneers of this community. Some few days ago he injured his hand, the wound was a small one and not paid much attention to, but blood poison set in and then gangrene and in only a few hours his soul took its flight to its maker. Mr. Beastock has resided in this community for over twenty years and his death has caused deep sorrow in the hearts of his many friends. He was born in Germany some 53 years ago, came to America with his parents when a boy and has made this community his home a greater share of the time. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss and friends by the score. He was a member of the German Lutheran Church and was a true Christian, and man everyone liked. The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev: Ehlers and the remains laid to rest in the Lutheran Cemetery south of town. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
