The sudden tragic death of Lewis W. Woolley came as a surprise to the community. Wednesday, Lewis was assisting Frank Woolley to haul tile and had a wagon heavily loaded with same, which had been loaded from the car standing on the track at the depot. he went to alight from the wagon and fell, at which time the team started and he fell in such a manner that the wheel pushed him several feet, finally running over his chest and crushed the life out of him instantly. Louis W. Woolley was born near Oswego Oct. 31, 1878, and died Oct. 3, 1917. He lived with his parents until a young man, attending the Oswego school and assisting the farm work. In June 1903 he was married to Miss Carrie Ward. To this union three children, a daughter and two sons, were born, the daughter dying some years ago. Lewis was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. L.M. Woolley, well known residents of Oswego. Even his misfortune, the loss of an arm, did not prove much of a handicap, as he was always a most able man about his duties. The funeral was held from his late home Friday. Interment was at the Oswego Cemetery.
