Last night at seven o'clock the Braddyville Korn Karnival part of a brick chimney from the brick store building on the south side of the street was pulled off by a tight wire-walker's wire, and fell into the crowd which was gathered around the steam swing just below and instantly killed Miss Zelpha Wolf the fifteen year old daughter and oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Wolf who live three miles east of Braddyville. Half a dozen bricks fell off together and struck the unfortunate girl on the left temple. She uttered no word nor sound and although taken at once to the doctor's office and given all possible attention, she never recovered her consciousness. This sad event has cast a gloom over the entire community. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 14, 1909 A terrible accident occurred at the Braddyville Corn Carnival on Wednesday evening of last week, which caused the death of Miss Zelpha Wolf, the 14 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Wolf, living east of Braddyville. One of the attractions of the carnival consisted of a "slide for life," by Tony Leburtus. To perform his act he had fastened his long rope to a window in one of the buildings, and out through the roof, throwing it around a chimney to get it nearer public view, the other end being anchored in the street. He had just tightened it up for his performance to follow, when the chimney fell, and a brick struck Miss Wolf on the head, killing her almost instantly. Medical aid was at once at hand, but the poor girl died without recovering consciousness. The funeral was held Friday at the family home. It was indeed a most horrible accident.
