HENRY GOETTEMOELLER RELATED HERE KILLED ON HIS FARM IN OHIO BY SAVAGE ANIMAL

Henry Goettemoeller of St. Henrys, Ohio, a cousin of Mrs. P. W. Doll, B. L. Kemper and Clara Young, and known to many residents of Perham, was gored to death on his farm near that place according to information received here by relatives. Mr. Goettemoeller was alone on the farm, other members of the family having gone to church. He had gone to the barn to do the morning feeding. When the family returned from church expecting to find him ready to attend the next service, he was not at the house. A search discovered his lifeless body in the bull pen. When Emil Goettemoeller, his son, went into the pen to get the body he too was attacked by the bull. Only the intervention of his sister, who heard his shouts, saved him from being the second victim. Armed with a pitchfork the sister drove the infuriated animal away. As it was Emil received three fractured ribs and numerous body bruises. His father’s chest was crushed, his forehead mashed and he had bad bruises about the face and arms. Mr. Goettemoeller is survived by one daughter and four sons.

Death of Mrs. D. R. Gorman
The bulletin is called upon this week to announce the death of Mrs. D. R. Gorman, of Merriam Park, St. Paul, which occurred on Friday last. Mrs. Gorman has been an invalid for a number of years, and during that time has been at death’s door repeatedly. With the loving care of devoted sisters and husband, and the best of medical attention, she had been able to retain her hold upon life, until the wasted frame from so much suffering could stand the strain no longer, and the spirit returned to the God who gave it, as a relief. She died as she had lived a devout catholic. It seems but a few short years ago that Mrs. Gorman, then Miss Katie Bridgeman, was a resident among us, where she had a host of friends, drawn about her by her happy disposition and winning ways and it hardly seems possible that she has been called to that great home beyond. But what is born, must die. In the prime of life she has been called to that great home beyond. But was is born, must die. In the prime of life she has been called away, never to return to flesh, but her spirit is among the dear ones left behind. Her life had been lived for those she loved and could assist. Her hand was ever open to the poor and needy, none ever applying to her for relief and being turned away without receiving it. As a neighbor, she was ever accommodating. As a wife and mother she was devotion itself. As a sister she was ready at all times to bear the others burdens. Nearly twelve years ago she was married to Mr. D. R. Gorman, and for a couple of years lived on the Pacific coast, when they returned to Perham where they resided three years, afterwards moving to St. Paul, where they have since remained. Six children, the eldest of whom is ten years and youngest three years, are left without a mothers care and love, and with a heart broken husband and father, will mourn the departed wife and mother. The brothers and sisters, of whom there are four left, Mrs. Shea, of Perham, Miss Maggie Bridgman, of St. Paul, and Messrs. Pat and John Bridgman, of Brainerd are nearly heart broken in their sorrow. For they were devoted to her, and she to them. The remains were brought to Perham Saturday afternoon, and were tenderly watched over by friends, until Sunday afternoon, when they were interred in St. Henrys cemetery, services being held in the church. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Perham a number of friends coming from a distance to pay their last respects to a dearly beloved and departed friend. The sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved relatives.
