Read More	The Plattsmouth Journal, March 17, 1904, Page 1: A MOST DEPLORABLE DEATH A Fifteen-Year-Old Youth Almost Instantly Killed by the Fall of a Piano Clarence Jones, aged about fifteen years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Riley Jones, of this city, was almost instantly killed on Saturday afternoon about 4:30 by being crushed under a piano. The unfortunate boy never gained consciousness and the body was horribly disfigured. The particulars of the sad accident are as follows: Messrs. Sattler & Fassbender, the furniture dealers, were engaged to furnish one of their pianos for the performance of "The Crisis" at the Parmele theatre the same night. It seems that young Jones, Pat Kelley and a boy named Graves were on the wagon balancing instrument, which was being removed from their store to the theatre. While passing through the alley in the rear of the Hotel Riley, one of the wheels struck some obstruction in the alleyway, which jostled the instrument somewhat, and in attempting to hold it to its place if fell from the wagon, with young Jones underneath its heavy weight. The limp and apparently lifeless form of the unfortunate boy was carried into the hotel and physicians summoned. Upon examination, it was soon discovered that he was beyond medical aid, and died a few moments later. Soon after the accident Coroner Boeck empaneled a jury, consisting of Oliver Dovey, Jno. Hatt, John Cory, H. S. Barthold, Wm. Kroehler and Wm. McCauley. The inquest was held Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The evidence showed that young Jones came to his death in accordance with the facts stated above. And the testimony also showed that he was neither employed by Sattler & Fassbender of the proprietors of the Parmele theatre to assist in removing the piano, but had gone with his own free will and accord, which releases the responsibility of any one for his death. No one regrets the sad affair more so that Mr. John Fassbender, who was driving the team, and no one could possibly have taken the sad affair to heart, even had the unfortunate young man been a near and dear friend, than Mr. Fassbender. The piano, which weighed in the neighborhood of one thousand pounds, was badly damaged by the accident and was returned to the store. At the time of the accident the mother of the unfortunate young man was visiting a daughter near Osceola, Iowa, and as soon as the sad news reached her, started for home, arriving Sunday morning. Mr. George Alrupt and wife (the latter a sister of the deceased) also arrived Sunday morning from Falls City to attend the funeral. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, from the family residence, Rev. H. B. Burgess conducting the ceremonies. After which interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.
