DIED
BLOCHER--On Sunday evening last Mr. E. Blocher died very suddenly at the Clother House, under the following cirumstances: For several days he had complained of a very bad "cold," but had been taking, so far as known, no medicine except Wakefield's cough syrup. On Sunday evening at a quarter to eight he retired to his room to bathe his feet in warm water, and this is the last that was known of him, alive. At about half-past eight some one who was to sleep in the same room found the door locked and no one answered to call. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to awaken the supposed sleeper, the transom was opened and Mr. Blocher was seen sitting on a chair, his feet in a pail of water, and his head thrown far back. The room was then entered and he was found to be dead, seemingly by an unusual flow of the blood to the head.
    Dr. A. Heintz, coroner, summoned a jury on Monday, consisting of S.L. Barrett, G.A. Schroeder, M. Weaver, N.G. Bonesteel, C. Wake and D.D. Wadsworth, who returned a verdict that the deceased died from natural causes.

The Columbus Journal, May 1, 1878
DIED
LUSCHE--On last Wednesday evening, shortly after dark, between eight and nine o'clock, Henry Lusche and family, who had been in attendance at a wedding, started for home. They were traveling slowly in a three-seated, light wagon, and were congratulating themselves upon their good fortune in escaping accident, when suddenly the wagon was tipped to one side, throwing them all out,--the wagon, however, not going over. They were all more or less hurt, but all slightly, except Otto, a son of Henry and Katrine Luesche, aged 6 years and 1 month, who was instantly killed. His skull was struck in two places,--above the eye and in the temple, and his death was instantaneous. The horses were traveling slowly and stopped when the seats tipped out, and the sad death of the bright little lad was caused by the seat striking him in the temple. the spot where the accident occurred is a half-mile north of Edwin Ahrens's dwelling and on the side of a hill; the embankment where the accident occurred was only a foot down, and, had the seats been solid in their places, it is thought that none of them would have been hurt. Little Otto was sitting in the front seat between an older brother and his father. His remains were buried on Friday last, and the parents have the deepest sympathy of their friends and acquaintances in their time of sorest affliction.

DIED
DOMINIK--On Wednesday morning, this week, Stearn's Prairie was the scene of a sad and startling accident. Mr. Andrew Dominik house, two children and furniture were consumed by fire under the following circumstances:
    Mr. Dominik was away from home on business, and Mrs. Dominik was in the corn field at work. Two little children were left in the house, one and a half and four years of age. By some means the house caught fire, and destroyed children, house and all. There was no fire left in the house, leaving a strong suspicion that it was the devilish work of an incendiary. The house was a dug-out, and somewhat obscure, so the flames were not discovered until too late. This is one of the most painfully sad accidents it has yet been our duty to record.
The Columbus Journal, May 8, 1878
DIED
DOMINIK--An other warning to parents who leave very young children alone to care for themselves come from Stearns Prairie. Two children, one fifteen months old, the other four years were left by themselves--the father being absent from the home, the mother planting corn a short distance from the house. By some means unknown the house caught fire and was burned down, destroying the children. Our informant could not give the name of the parents. We notice that the Era gives it as Dominik.
