G.H. GENTHNER RECIEVES FATAL INJURIES
George H. Genthner[sic], Silver Brook avenue, died at Clark hospital in Buchanan at 12:30 o'clock this morning, from injuries received in a runaway accident on Fourth Street about 6 o'clock last evening. Mr. Geuthner [sic] had started home from the Pike hotel, driving a horse hitched to a light wagon, when the horse became unmanageable, and ran away. Mr. Geuthner [sic] was thrown out near Dr. Van Noppen's sanitarium, striking the pavement with great force. He was carried into the sanitarium in an unconscious condition, and after being temporarily cared for, was taken to Clark hospital. He died without regaining consciousness except for a few minutes. Death was caused by a fractured skull. A slight swelling back of one ear was the only external evidence of injury.
The body was brought to the Newell undertaking rooms and this afternoon was taken to the home in Silver Brook avenue where the funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon. Rev. P.G. Safffan will officiate. Burial will take place in Silver Brook cemetery.
