Mr. Wichterman was cleaning up his barn and getting ready to take care of his crop and was in the act of arranging his hay fork and by mistake took hold of the wrong rope which caused the fork to drop from the hay loft. The fork struck him in the breast and caused instant death. One of his sons was with him at the time of the accident. Deceased was a citizen of Monroe county for many years and was well and favorably known throughout the county. He was elected county treasurer and served two terms, from 1902 to 1906. He was a careful and obliging official and gave general satisfaction. A few years ago he moved to Indiana where he purchased a farm and was doing well. He was a member of the Sweedenberg church and had been active in church and Sunday school work. He leaves a wife and nine children, one wife preceding him in death. His son Mr. E. J. Wichterman and wife of Woodsfield, and his sister, Mrs. Jacob Lude of Clarington Route three, were present at the funeral which was held at Hagerstown owing to illness in his family preventing the bringing of the remains back to St. Jacob's church this county. Mr. Wichterman was a member in good standing of Clarington Lodge of Oddfellows. Mr. Wichterman is the third ex Treasurer on Monroe county to die within the past five months—Mr. Goddard from heart failure, Mr. Roth from falling in a well and Mr. Wichterman by being struck by a hay fork. They were all good men and made good honest officials.
