HISTORY: Located aat: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaoseol/history92/chapterxiii.htm ChapterXIII=The blizzard of January 7,1873, was a fearful one, and considered as the worst this country ever experienced. One other death occured in the county,that of Peter Ladenberger. After the storm he was missing and no trace of him could be found. It was concludedthat he must have perished. He was still unaccounted for until the 29th day of November 1873,whenthe account of his being found,given at the time,is as follows: When Fred Kruger, while out hunting in the valley of the Ocheyedan fifteen miles southeast of Sibley,found the remains of some person,they proved to be those of the unfortunate Ladenberger. Mr Kruger did not inform any person of the finding of the remains until sunday, when he related the facts to Mr S.S. PARKER. Early monday morning Mr Parker came to town and informed the proper authorities, who immediately summoned a jury, consisting of Messars.McCausland,Parker,and Warren; these gentlemen with the acting coroner, Mr Turner,Dr.Mellen and some witnesses to identify the remains,started for the spot to determine,if possible,who the remains were. The partyproceeded eastward to the Parker settlement,where Kruger joined them; then going southeast, they crossed the Little Ocheyedan, the rolling plains,and descended into the broard valleyof the Ocheyedan. When near the junction of the little Ocheyedan with the Ocheyddan, the party seperated,and going to the southwest Mr Parker soon discovered the remains. The dead man was lying-probably as he fell breast down,with right arm thrown back. The skull lay a few feet from the trunk. At his right foot was a hole, and it is possible that the surface of the snow was on that account uneven and caused him to stumble. A pipe,acarpenter's pencil,asilver ring, several pocket books,capand pieces of clothing were found. The remains of the body were placed in a coffin and taken to sibley. The pocket books were thawed out ,and furnished conclusive evidence that the dead man was Peter Ladenberger. On tuesday the remains were buried. Mr Landenberger was a carpenter,and the last work he did was to put up the liberty pole on the court house. He came from Sheboygan County, Wisconsin and had no realatives in the Country.
