HEGLER, Frank ?

Source: Lafayette Daily Courier, Mon, Jul 26, 1880 ·Page 4

The friends of Captain Ben Hegler, of Attica, are again called upon to sympathize with himself and family over a second sad bereavement. Their youngest boy, of some twelve years, while playing upon a pile of lumber Saturday, which was built in a tottering shape, overtipped it and was buried beneath it. When rescued it was discovered that his skull was fractured and several ribs were broken. It is scarcely probably he can recover. It will be remembered that during last fall, while out nutting near Attica, the eldest son of Mr. H. fell from a tree and also suffered a fracture of the skull from which he died.
