Grossart died last night at about 8 o'clock as the result of injuries received when he fell from a hay stack, while stacking alfalfa on the Frank Kolar farm three miles south of Wolbach. They were just finishing up a stack, working late on account of the threatening rain, when the accident occurred. Mr. Grossart, who was working on the stack was knocked off the stack when the last load was delivered by the stacker. He suffered a broken neck, evidently falling upon his head. He lived only a few minutes. The injury on his neck led some to think he had possibly been struck by part of the stacker. The body was immediately brought to town and taken to the McIntyre undertaking parlor. This tragedy comes as a severe shock to this community and great sympathy is felt for the bereaved family and relatives. Miss Lillian Grossart, who has been employed at Scottsbluff, the only one of the children not living here, is expected to arrive home this morning. As we go to press, definite plans for the funeral have not been made. Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, June 20, 1929 Wm. Grossart Funeral Held Last Friday – The body of William Grossart was laid to rest in Wolbach cemetery last Friday afternoon. The Funeral procession left the house at 2:30 pm. and made its way to the church led by four flower girls and members of the Oddfellows lodge. The flower girls were Misses Naomi Larsen, Berniece Rogers, Clara Wagner and Doris Bryer. The pall-bearers were John Lowe, Ole Christensen, F. E. McCormick, M. E. Fitzsimmons, W. F. Nelson and Ed Meyers. Services were conducted at the Trinity Lutheran Church by Dr. R. A. White. The Oddfellow Lodge, of which Mr. Grossart was a member, conducted services at the cemetery. An exceedingly large crowd attended the funeral, friends from miles around leaving all else and coming to pay their last respects to the deceased. Many relatives of the family were present, including Mr. Grossart's parents from Grand Island. The following obituary was read at the church: William Grossart was born in Edinburg, Scotland, March 21, 1880.
