DASHED TO DEATH

Accidental Killing of a Woodbury County Farmer by Driving Over a Bank Near Sergeant Bluffs

E. G. Coombs, a farmer of LIberty township, was killed by his team going over a bank on Friday night, while on his way home form Sergeant Bluffs. As will be remembered, the early part of the night was pitch dark. The road four miles east of Sergeant Bluffs runs along side of the slough known as Brower's lake, and just off the road there is a steep bank down to the edge of the slough. About 11 o'clock Friday night the son and daughter of H. Brower, on their way home, noticed a team standing at the foot of the bank, but supposed it was some mover's wagon, and so made no investigation. Early yesterday morning Mr. Brower went up to see what was the matter, as the team was still there. He found the wagon capsized, and on turning it over the driver, E. G. Coombs, was found under the inverted wagon box, dead. The dead man's right hand still held the lines firmly grasped. From his position it seems that Mr. Coombs must have been instantly killed, probably by dislocation of the neck.
Mr. Coombs is an old settler in Liberty township. He leaves a wife and three children. The farm on which he lived is understood to be free from incumbrance, so that his family will be comfortably provided for. The funeral is to be at Sergeant Bluffs tomorrow.
Coroner Davis was summonsed to hold an inquest on the body, and went down to the scene of the accident yesterday afternoon, but what verdict was rendered was not known here at a late hour last night.

Obituary:
("Sioux City Journal" Tuesday, July 16, 1889)

FOUND DEAD IN BED.

John Christenson, aged 33, living at Greenville, was found dead in his bed at day-break yesterday morning. For some time he had been subject to epilepsy adn death was due to that ailment. In conversation with a Journal reporter Mrs. Christenson made the following statement:
"Last night John got up to see what was the matter with the children. I heard him but being very tired and sleepy, I soon fell into a sound sleep. I have a recollection of hearing him undergoing an attack of epilepsy, but it was a common occurrence, and he had always come out of them all right, so I made no effort to arouse myself. About daybreak I awoke and thinking it was time my husband was awakened that he might get to work I turned over in bed and shook him. He made no answer and I shook him again. I saw he looked strange and then I saw he was dead."
Coroner Conniff was summoned, but the nature of the death being evident, he decided not to impanel a jury. Christenson's family is left in destitute circumstances and the interment will be at the expense of the county.
