From the Chatsworth Plaindealer
JAMES NAGLE
SEPTEMBER 16, 1887
James Nagle, son of Mr. John Nagle, of Roberts, died at his home three miles from Roberts last Sunday night, Sept. 11, at ten o’clock. Last Friday, while hauling oats near his home, his team became frightened and, just when he had succeeded in getting them under control,
the wagon tongue broke, and, by the parses again starting, he was pulled from his seat and the wagon passed over his leg, completely crushing it from the knee to the ankle. Saturday the leg, from just above the knee, was amputated, but he was too feeble to withstand the shock, and died Sunday night.

Deceased was born near Suspension Bridge, in Niagara City, New York state, in February, 1857, and with his parents came to Illinois when but a small boy. When residing with his parents in Chatsworth, fourteen years ago, he, with his sister, who is now Mrs. O. E. Braddock, attended our public schools. Four years ago last February he was united in marriage to Addie Patterson, of Streator, who was a widow with one child. There were born to them two children, the oldest, a girl aged two years, and the youngest, a boy about 7 months of age.

His funeral occurred from St. Patrick’s church in this city to St. Patrick ’s cemetery, Rev. Hagen officiating, and and the remains were followed to the grave by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends. His death at this time is particularly sad, as his aged father is dangerously ill at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. O. E. Braddock, southwest of town, and the news of his son’s sudden death was such a shock to him that it is feared he may be too weak and feeble to rally. The bereaved wife and other relatives have the sympathy of many friends in their great affliction.

Accidental Death

The Congregational church and society will soon have an edifice of their own for worship, nearly two thousand dollars having already been subscribed.
Martin Dieterly, a farmer living about one mile southwest of Roberts, had the threshers at work on his farm last Tuesday morning.  The work had begun and all hands were at their posts when the elevator of the machine clogged and demanded the attention of someone.  Mr. Dieterly, notwithstanding the protests of the proprietors of the machine, took it upon himself to strip the elevator clear and when the work was finished, instead of getting down at the side of the machine, as directed, stepped onto the table, when his foot slipped and he fell into the cylinder.  Mr. Gust. Flora held to Dieterly, but before the machine could be stopped one of his legs was literally ground into mincemeat.  Dr. Cassingham was summoned and did his best, but the patient never recovered from the shock and died about two hours after the accident.
