 Edward Roarig, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Roarig of Fayette, died April 10th, at Trinity hospital, Milwaukee, where he had been taken for an operation. As was stated in last week’s paper the young man had been working for his uncle, Robert Williams, where he was kicked on the head by a horse. How long he laid in the stall under the animal is not known but he was found by Mrs. Williams in a semi conscious state and taken to the house.

The accident occurred Tuesday morning and as he had not regained consciousness Friday morning it was decided he should be taken to a Milwaukee hospital for an operation. While every hour of delay decreased his chances for recovery, local physicians held out the hope that an operation might work an immediate change. An examination proved that the wound was deep and the chances to save the boy were considered one in a hundred. He died about three hours following the operation.

Edward Roarig was born in Darlington, Dec. 8th, 1901, but about eight years ago moved with his family to Fayette where he has since resided. He had recently finished the common school in the village and had for the last few weeks been working for his uncle, Robert Williams. He was a young man of industry and splendid bearing who had a friend in every acquaintance in the vicinity of Fayette.
The funeral was held from the home of his parents Monday morning, April 12th and interment made in this city. Deceased is survived by his mother, father and one sister
