Baker, third floor of the Minam block, 130 South Sandusky Ave., at 11:30 o�clock Wed and caller her aged father, Jeremiah Correll to abide in that promised land from which no traveler returns. Mr. Correll had been residing with his daughter Mrs. C. F. Odaffer at Van Wert, O., and seven weeks ago came to Bucyrus to visit his daughter Mrs. Baker. A week after his arrival here he was taken ill and from the very beginning his condition was such that death was expected at any moment.

The funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs Baker Friday afternoon at 2:30 o�clock and will be private. Rev S. G. Dornblaser pastor of St Paul�s Lutheran Church will officiate. Interment in Oakwood cemetery.
The deceased was a son of John and Elizabeth Lind Correll and was born at Gettysburg, PA May 17, 1832 and had attained the age of 82 years, 7 months, and 13 days at the time of his death. At the age of two years his parents moved to Stark County, O., where he remained until 1859 when he came to Crawford County and commenced farming in Liberty township. He continued on the farm for several years and then returned to Stark County where he remained until 1869 when he came to Bucyrus and started a boot and shoe store which business he conducted in three different rooms between the Deal House corner and Rowe�s store for thirty years. He occupied each of the the three different locations for a period of ten years and was a successful merchant.

Perhaps no man was better known by the people of Crawford County than was Jeremiah Correll.

He has crossed the Dark Valley of the Shadow of Death. Wordly scenes have been laid aside and his is now at rest of that farther shore, to join with those who have gone before. He was a good man and his works do follow him.� The News-Forum, Bucyrus, Ohio, Friday, Jan 1, 1915
"FARMER KILLED NEAR NORTH AUBURN IN CAVE-IN. Bucyrus-- More than two tons of earth broke loose from a foundation wall of a barn Sat afternoon near North Auburn, fatally crushing Paul Benedict Cramer, 30 year old factory workers [sic] and farmer, as he worked with other men in building a new foundation under a barn on the farm of Albert Shell of Tiro, brother-in-law of the cave-in victim.
The barn had been raised 12 feet above ground level and placed on timbres so that the new foundation could be build up from the 8 ft deep excavation under the barn. No work had yet begun on the new foundation. Cramer was kneeling when the landslide occured. The dirt pushed him against a 6x6 timbre, and only his head remained above the ground.
The neighbor, Ivan Langjohr, was buried up to his hips and Shell's son Richard was up to his knees with the cave-in dirt. Cramer was dug from the pile of dirt and a New Washington doctor summoned. He died 20 min after the mishap occured at 1:40-- before becoming unconscious, he muttered, 'I can't get my breath.'
The barn was approx. 60 by 90 ft. Parked on the ground above the slides was a tractor which may have added to the weight of the force behind the slide.
