HENRY R. ROSELER
DIES FROM INJURIES
The community was shocked Satur
day evening by the announcement that
Henry R. Roseler, residing about ten
miles northwest of O’Neill, had died,
subsequently after eight o’clock, fol
lowing a collision which occurred on
Highway No. 20 about three miles
northwest of O’Neill about six o’clock
that evening.
Mr. Roseler was driving w'est with
a Model T Ford sedan when he collid
ed with a Chrysler “52” sedan driven
by V. E. Enholm, salesman for the
John Day Rubber Company, of Oma
ha, accompanied by E. O. Nelson, of
Chicago, a salesman for The North
Atlantic Press Company, of Philadel
phia.
The accident occurred near th cen-!
ter of the road; the Roseler car seem
ed to have struck the Chrysler on the
right side both cars were badly dam
aged. Mr. Enholm suffered a severe
cut on the right side of his face, while
Mr. Nelson received a black eye and
was otherwise bruised, but neither of
them were seriously injured. From
all appearances Mr. Roseler was
thrown into the windshield by the
impact and was then hurled into the
back seat of his car; Mr. Roseler was
injured inwardly about the chest which
no doubt, caused his death.
An inquest was begun Sunday morn
ing, and after viewing the body at the
Biglin undertaking parlors the inquest
was adjourned until Monday. After
examining a number of witnesses the
jury held no one resonsible for the
accident. The coronor’s jury was
composed of S. J. Weekes, J. F.
O’Donnell, John Miskimins, Ben J.
Grady, William Martin and Andrew
Schmidt.

2, 1872, in Natrona County, Illinois.

from Illinois. On March 24, 1901, he
was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary
Kuhns; to this union five children were
born; they are Albert, Viola, Edward,
Bernice and Marie. Mr. Roseler was a
hard working man; he enjoyed' a wide
circle of riends throughout the county
who will receive the announcement of
his death with sorrow. At the time
of his death he was fifty-six years, six
months and twenty-four days of age.
The deceased leaves his mother, his
wife and five children above mentioned,
three stepchildren, Harvey Kuhns, of
