Mr. Rudat left home about 10:30 o'clock Monday morning, with a wagon filled with shelled corn for the Columbus market. He was found about 11:30 o'clock lying on the north approach of the Loup river bridge, his team standing quietly by. Parties passing over the bridge who first saw him, immediately notified Sheriff Byrnes and the body was brought soon after to Gass' undertaking rooms. The left side of the head received a bruise as if from the weight of the wagon wheel, but it is thought that the wheel did not pass over the head, and that death was caused from a fall, which broke the neck, and not from the wagon passing over him. To all appearance, the accident occurred on account of the neck-yoke breaking, which let down the tongue of the wagon causing a sudden jolt and throwing Mr. Rudat out of the wagon, in front of the wheels. The double-tree then broke and the horses were standing a short distance from the wagon when found. Henry Rudat was born May 13, 1854, in Burgsdorf, Prussia. He came to America in 1875 and settled in Omaha. In 1878 he came to Platte county, living on a farm until 1899 when he sold out and returned to Germany, only remaining a few months, however, and when coming back he purchased the farm upon which he has since made his home. The deceased was married June 9, 1883, to Miss Emma Martz and to them have been born fourteen children, four of whom have passed to the world beyond. Besides the wife and ten children, who survive him, he left his aged mother Mrs. Henrietta Rudat and one brother and one sister. His oldest son is about 20 years of age. Mr. Rudat was a devoted man to his family and since the death of a son about four months ago, has constantly mourned for him. Since that time he had never wished to be left alone, and the trip Monday was the first he had made since the death of the child, without some member of his family with him. Before leaving for town he returned three times to bid his wife good bye. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home, Rev. Neumarker officiating. Interment will be made in the Duncan cemetery.
