Tragedy Strikes Five Families of South Dakota Community.
Freeman, S. D., Nov 7. — The town was shocked Tuesday evening when the sad news reached town that C. P. Unruh, Isaac Smith, John Adrian, Peter B. Deckert and Auctioneer Buller had a collision when on their way home from Soo [sic Sioux] Falls. C. P. Unruh and Henry Buller were killed instantly. H. Johnson, a Soo [sic Sioux] Falls hardware man drove home from a pleasant hunt on Highway 16, while these five men from the Silver Lake community drove home from Soo [sic Sioux] Falls when they met in a collision about 17 miles west of Soo [sic Sioux] Falls at about 4:30 P. M. Both cars were smashed beyond repair. A Soo [sic Sioux] Falls ambulance took Smith, Johnson, Adrian and Deckert to a Soo [sic Sioux] Falls hospital where Smith died at 7 o'clock in the evening and Johnson at 3 o'clock in the night. There is very little hope for the others. At this writing the inquest has not been held so very little is known about the cause of the accident.
Mr. Adrian is a son of Rev. J. J. Adrian. Besides farming he has an oil station near the M. B. church at Silver Lake.
After we wrote the above, word came that Mr. Deckert died yesterday, between 4 and 5 P. M. Johnson leaves a wife and three children, Smith leaves a wife and four children, Buller leaves a wife and four children, Unruh leaves a wife and six children, Deckert leaves a wife and four sons. — Freeman Courier.
