COLERIDGE— Funeral services for Frank Duzinsky, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Duzinsky, who was crushed to death under a wagon while picking corn on the Eugene Dugan farm, were held from the Catholic church here, the Rev. Ferdinand Schuettgen of Hartington conducting the services in the absence of the Rev. F. O. Sullivan, pastor of the church.
A large number of people gathered to show their sympathy for the family, the boy’s death being the third which has occurred in the Duzinsky family since they located here a year ago. It is not known just how the boy was killed, but it is believed from the position of the body and the over-turned wagon, that the team became frightened and as it jumped, he, fearing a runaway, grabbed for the lines and succeeded in getting hold of only one which caused the horses to make a sharp turn and upset the wagon which, falling on the lad, broke his neck. The body was discovered by Mr. Dugan, who had started the boy in the corn field in the morning and later in the day noticed the horses loose from the wagon and going across the field.

HARTINGTON- Father Ferdinand Schnuettgen, 56, was buried in his native community in Germany on Monday. Death came after a long illness and a vain search for relief from his malady.
A cablegram to Mrs. Otto Bogner of Crofton gave the news of Father Schnuettgen’s death at Olpe, Westphalia, Germany. Rev. Schnuettgen went to the old country in April of this year in the hope that the change might benefit his failing health. His congregation at Hartington, which he had served for 16 years, gave him a generous purse of money in a farewell reception, and wished for his early return in restored health. That farewell proved to be the last on this earth.
His condition did not improve and Bishop Rummel, only a few weeks ago, appointed Father B. H. Lordemann, 16 years pastor at Randolph, to the deanery at Hartington.
Rev. Schnuettgen was educated in the colleges of Italy, came to America at the age of 23 and served in several Nebraska Catholic churches before coming to Hartington as dean. On the trip to Germany, his sister, Mrs. Bogner, accompanied him, she returning to Crofton in September.
