END HIS OWN LIFE
-------------------------------
Thomas Walsh Of Custer Street Commits Suicide Without Apparent
Reason.
-------------------------------
Thomas Walsh, 162 Custer Street, died at his home Sunday
night from an overdose of strychnine. There was no apparent reason why he
should wish to end his life.
Mr. Walsh had been visiting with the family of J. Fontain
Sunday and returned in the evening and found his wife absent. He sent his
nine-year-old daughter, Mamie, and a neighbor's daughter fifteen years old,
to a drug store on South Wabasha street to procure strychnine for rat poison.
It was refused by the druggist. When the two girls returned home without
the poison Mr. Walsh became angry and sent them back again. The two girls
returned to the drug store and this time procured the poison.
Mr. Walsh is said to have placed the poison in a glass
and retired into a bedroom. A few minutes later he called for water and when
his daughter went into the room she noticed that he was acting strangely,
and foaming at the mouth. Neighbors were called and to them Mr. Walsh stated
that he had cramps in his stomach. He was asked if he had taken any drug,
and he said no, and he was left alone.
Sometime afterward his daughter went into the bedroom
and the father raised in his bed and said: "Good bye my child."
He fell back in bed and writhed in agony. Dr. Xanten was
called, but was unable to save the man's life.
Thomas Walsh was born in Egantown forty years ago. He
was driver in No. 1 Engine house several years and recently had been employed
by the Booth Packing Company. He is survived by a widow and five children.
A brother was taken to the detention hospital last week suffering from
smallpox.
The funeral was held on Wednesday morning from St. Michael's
church.

Obituary in Hastings Gazette of March 31, 1906
William Walsh, of Eagan, died at the residence
of his sister, Mrs. Hugh Burns, Tuesday night. He was driving on the Mendota
road in the evening, the horse missing his footing and fell over the bluff.
A young man named A. Perion jumped out, but Walsh fell under the buggy, and
was unconscious when picked up. His spine was fractured, besides other internal
injuries, and nothing could be done for his relief. He was the youngest son
of Maurice Walsh, a well known farmer of that town, and aged twenty-one years.
The funeral was held from St. Peter's Church, Mendota, yesterday, at ten
a.m.

In Memory of William Walsh
On March 30 occurred the saddest event
which it has ever been my lot to witness. At that time William Walsh was
carried to his last resting place. The shock of his death was most severe
coming as it did with but a few hour's warning
Willie had so endeared himself to everyone who knew him that the parting
was very hard to bear. Those who knew him best feel that a dear is gone,
while everyone will miss his bright friendly smile. Nothing but love and
kindness shone from his face and whether he was engageor in some social function,
his cheering influence was felt. Those who knew him are better for having
known such a kind, generous and selheart.In his home he will be missed most
sorrowfully for it was there that his true character shone. Loving parents
can tell of a kind, helson while his sister and brothers have only loving
remembrances of a brother who ever thought and cared for them rather than
for himself.We do not like to think that we shall never meeand at the very
thought the tears start afresh but is not our grief selfish? Are we not thinking
more of our own happiness than of his? Thof his good, honest, upright life,
and the assurance which his calm face gave to those who gazed upon his
countenance in death, form aconsolation to those who hold him dear. We know
that Willie is happier than we are and we should be thankful that he is spared
the trial
The esteem in which his memory is held, was shown by the hundreds of friends
who went with him to his last resting place. His last moments were happy.
There were no harsh unkind words of deeds to be recalled for he lived in
the love and fear of God and never a Sunday passed without finding him taking
part in devotional exercises to God. Thus he was in his life a worthy example
for all.

FOUR CRUSHED AND DROWNED IN FEW INCHES OF WATER UNDER CAR
Car Rolls Over Embankment at Sink Hole
Near Leonard Bures Farm on Centerville Road Monday Morning - Three Have Narrow
Escape From Death - Six Men and One Woman in Party.
The Dead
ARTHUR MORAN, 22 years old, 628 Oakdale Avenue.
JOSEPH E. WALSH, 30 years old, 254 East Winifred Street.
CHARLES SEIBERT, 35 years old, 164 Sherburne Avenue.

The Rescued
HENRY KUBA, 1633 West Seventh Street.
MRS. EDNA McLAREN, waitress 56 Kekand Hotel.
EDWARD REGAN, 126 East Ninth Street.
Four St. Paul men of a party of seven
persons were drowned in less than a foot of water about 8 o'clock Monday
morning when an automobile in which they were riding on the Centerville road
two and half miles west of White Bear overturned in a ditch, pinning them
underneath.
According to the survivors, they met the four others
in a restaurant in St. Paul Sunday night and at the invitation of Seibert,
the driver of the car, they went for a ride, starting about 1 o'clock Monday
morning. They drove around the country for several hours and then started
toward White Bear on the Centerville road.
Arriving at a point about where the Bald Eagle road leads
past Leonard Bures farm house, they discovered that the spare tire had dropped
off. They found it and put it back on and then shortly after they started
on, one of the men missed his watch and decided he had lost it while he was
helping put on the tire.
By this time they had passed over the grade across the
sink-hole as it is known to those familiar with the road, and which is about
40 rods across the field from the Bures farm house. Seibert attempted to
back up across the grade. The road is graveled and crowned, with a ditch
about four feet deep along one side.
One rear wheel slid over the edge of the road and the
car landed in the bottom of the ditch with the wheels in the air.
One of the men, Regan, rescued Mrs. McLaren and Kuba.
While Regan attempted to rescue the four men beneath the car,
Kuba went to the farm house of Mr. Bures for help. With the assistance of
several neighbors, the men were pulled from beneath the car a few minutes
later but all were dead.
The three survivors then went to the Fred Fisher farm
where they waited for deputy sheriffs who took them to St. Paul for
questioning.
That point in the road which is the scene of the tragedy,
is known to the people of this section as the sink-hole and much trouble
in maintaining the grade has been experienced in past years. No matter how
much filling is put in, it gradually sinks out of sight. This grade had been
fixed up last fall. It is sufficiently wide for two to pass, and there is
all the room necessary to back a machine over it safely, if carefully
driven.
The driver, Seibert, must have been urging the machine
backward at a good speed, for it ran fully a road in the soft gravel on the
side of the embankment before it overturned.
As the machine turned over, Regan was thrown out, or
near enough so as to be able to extricate himself. Regan began working
frantically to save the others, which seemed like an impossible job, but
he succeeded in rescuing two. Both of them were held down by the car, as
were the others, so they could not raise their heads from the water.
Regan pulled Mrs. MacLaren out first and then Kuba, by
the time he was extricated, was on the verge of unconsciousness. The car
sank in the soft sand in the ditch, Regan said, so that by the time he had
saved the two, the others were pushed so deeply into the bottom of the ditch
that he could not get hold of them.
