Read More	Summit Township Farmer Accidently Killed Thursday H.J. Groenewold, a prominent Farmer in Summit Killed Funeral Held Saturday Large Attended; Burial was Made in the First Reform Cemetery A sad accident occurred Thursday morning at eleven o'clock at the George Heikens farm six miles west of Fostoria. Hilbert Jacob Groenewold was assisting Mr. Heikens in putting hay into the hay mow of the barn. Something caught on the pulley track and Mr. Groenewold took a ladder and went to hay mow to fix the pulley. While he was this engaged the hay mow door gave way and stopped at an angle of forty-five degrees. Mr. Groenewold was thrown to the ground with the ladder. Death was instantaneous. There was a pile of hay immediately under the foor and if the door had not been caught at the forty-five degree angle he would have fallen directly upon the pile of hay. Hilbert Jacob Groenewold was born in Peoria County, Illinois, on December 27, 1871 and departed this life August 16, 1923, near Fostoria, Iowa age 51 years, 7 months and 19 days. The parental family left Illinois and came to Hardin County, Iowa, where they resided until the spring of 1886 when they came to Clay County, since that time Mr. Groenewold has lived continously in Summit Township. On March 5, 1902, he was united in marriage to Miss Theresa Cramer, of Clarion, Iowa of Wright County twenty-one years ago. Immediately after their marriage they came to Clay County and since that time they had been living on a farm in Summit Township. This union was blessed with three children, two daughter, Gertrude and Etta and one son, the latter died in infancy. Mr. Groenewold served the church for a number of years as recording steward. The office he served with unusual fidelity and accurateness. He was a loyal citizen, a good neighbor, a devoted husband, a kind father, a trustworthy brother and while the passing of such a citizen and neighbor and such a brother, brings its inexpressible burden of sorrow, yet with ir all there is deep consolation that he has but passed on to those remains where anxieties and sorrows are forever ended. Besides his wife, Mr. Groenewold is survived by two daughters, Gertrude and Etta, besides numerous friends and relatives. He also leaves one brother, J. Groenewold of Waterford Township, and three sisters, Mrs. C.J. DeWall of Summit Township, Mrs. John Ringering of Waterford Township and Mrs. E. Jensen of Knoxville, Nebraska. Funeral services were conducted on Sunday at two o'clock by Rev. Wendland at the Evangelical Church near Fostoria. Burial was made in the family lot near the First Reform Cemetery.
