David Gold, 14, Dies From Deer Rifle Wound

A deer hunting accident of Saturday morning came to its tragic conclusion late Monday evening when 14-year-old David F. Gold of Columbus, son of a former Weimar couple, died in Youens Hospital here.

David was hunting with an uncle, Eddie Michalek, on the Helmcamp Estate farm near Borden when the accident occurred. He had missed his buck Friday, and Saturday morning as he and his uncle were returning from their stand, they stopped to examine some tracks. In some manner the 30-30 rifle in Mr. Michalek’s hand dropped, and as he grabbed for it it discharged.

The bullet struck David in the right hip, shattering the bone and going through his abdomen. The tip of Mr. Michalek’s thumb was shot off as he grabbed the rifle.

David had celebrated his 14th birthday anniversary only the previous Monday. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed J. Gold and had many relatives and friends here. A sister, Mrs. Joe Zezula of Runge, and a brother Joe Gold of Baytown, also survive.

Funeral services were held Wednesday morning in St. Anthony’s Catholic Church at Columbus, with burial in the church cemetery. The Rev. Alex Kraus pastor, officiated.

Beautiful Baby Girl Is Claimed by Death

The past week end was a sad one to Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Gold, well known young couple of this section, as well as numerous relatives and friends of the family, for Death stepped into their home and robbed it of one of its dearest treasures. The twin baby girls of this popular couple--four months old and as pretty babes as one ever beheld--were taken ill a few days ago, the trouble rapidly developing into pneumonia, and although painstaking physicians, nurses and members of the family sought vainly to restore them to health, Death was the conqueror in one instance, at least, and little Delores, one of the twins, was claimed as a victim, her death occurring Thursday of last week, after an illness of several days.

The other babe was also very ill, but thanks to a merciful Providence, her little life was spared, and it was announced Monday that she had undoubtedly passed the crisis and would live.

The little body of Delores was prepared for burial and after appropriate services at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hollien, was laid to rest in St. Michael’s Cemetery Friday afternoon, Rev. Jos. Szymanski officiating.

Pall bearers for the little body were four young boys, as follows: Buddie Seifert, Eugene Vacek, Junior Seifert and Buddy Kusey.

In the loss of their little darling Mr. and Mrs. Gold have the sincere and heartfelt sympathy of all our people.
