HAAS, Ida B. nee Banfield  (1873- 23 June 1905)

The sad death of Mrs. Charles Haas of Longwood occurred last Friday morning. Deceased was married but four months ago, this being her second marriage, he first husband being dead. Mr. Haas, she had known since girlhood, he having worked for her father before she was married the first time. She had come from Waterloo, Iowa. Here, while she had the pleasures of a good home and the company of a bright, loving daughter by her first husband, she missed the warm friends and kind neighbors she had been used to seeing every now and then. Added to this was the homesickness of her daughter, Florence, nine years old, who missed her friends often as much or more than her mother. Realizing the situation, the husband urged his wife to go back for a visit until she should feel more cheerful, but this she disliked to do. She was likewise urged by her sister who lives in Iowa to do as her husband urged upon her, but with the same results. Scarcely a week before her death her pastor called on the family and remained for dinner and to him she remarked on how homesick she and Florence were. Thus the malady kept working on her until her mind became affected and control of herself seemed to be lost as is evidenced by a note she had written probably just before her death. In this she referred to her head being queer, possessed of strange fancies, etc. At eleven o'clock Friday morning, June 23, Mrs. Haas' body was found in the barn hanging to a rope. The funeral was held from the home. The body was taken back to Waterloo, Iowa, for burial, accompanied by the stricken husband and a sister from Iowa. Deceased was thirty-two years of age and was known as of gentle, refined character.

HANSEN, William C. (4 July 1891 - 29 Aug 1923)

Speeding to cross the track in front of a fast moving passenger train, caused the death of two prominent farmers at Withee Wednesday forenoon, and injury to another, when the Ford car in which they were riding was struck by a passenger train of the Soo Line, due to arrive there at 10:59 a.m. William Hansen, driver of the car was instantly killed and Edward Bergstrom, riding in the front seat with Hansen was fatally injured, so that he died this evening at the hospital at Chippewa Falls. Jens Beck, the other occupant of the car received a scalp wound, but was not otherwise seriously injured, and will recover. Hansen, Bergstrom and Beck were coming to town from the Hansen farm, where they had been at work filling silo, to purchase a new belt, and when Hansen saw the train approaching began speeding to get across the tracks. Just as they approached the tracks the train bore down on them, the head of the engine striking the front of their car. Hansen was thrown against the engine and then a distance of several feet into the village park. Their car striking a switch, wrecking it beyond repair. Bergstrom was also thrown several feet and when picked up was found to be injured about the upper spine, a deep gash in the forehead and on the chin. His injuries were so serious that he was taken on the train at once to the hospital at Chippewa Falls for examination and treatment. Hansen's arms and leg were broken and his head crushed, so that he died instantly. William Hansen is the father of a large family, leaving a wife and seven children, the oldest being twelve years of age and the youngest only a little over a year. Mr. Bergstrom is the father of three children, two daughters and one son, all of who are in their teens. Funeral services for William Hansen will be held Saturday afternoon from the Danish Lutheran Church at Withee. The funeral of Mr. Bergstrom will be held Sunday afternoon from the same church and burial made in the church cemetery.
