OBITUARY - 1: Nov. 15, 1900
Parkersburg, IA Eclipse
& New Hartford Journal
Died from Asphyxiation
Escaping gas from a hard coal stove caused the death of Bolser Nicklaus sometime during Tuesday night or early yesterday forenoon, and nearly killed his wife.
The stove had been started during Tuesday, and when Mr. and Mrs. Nicklaus retired that night, everything seemed to be running as usual. At about 11 o'clock yesterday, Mrs. O.C. Foughty went into the house and saw that the old couple were lying on the bed apparently sleeping, and she went out without disturbing them. However, she noticed a peculiar smell in the house, but at the time, thought nothing of it.
Shortly afterwards Carl Nicklaus went to the house and also thought they were yet sleeping and sat down to wait. After a little time, however, he went into the bedroom to awaken them and made the startling discovery that his brother was dead and his wife was just breathing. Aid was summoned and all that medical skill could do was done, but Mr. Nicklaus had been dead some time. His wife will recover, although her life was dispaired of for a long time. Mr. Nicklaus' funeral will take place tomorrow at ten o'clock from the Catholic church, the interment being in the Catholic cemetery south of town.
