LINDERMEIER, Joseph, Obituary

Joseph Lindermeier of Peru, a hand on the towboat Petrel, met with a severe injure, a week ago, which has cost him his life. The boat had been tied up to tow saplings on the edge of the water, and Lindermeier took the small boat, going ashore to loosen the line. Placing his arm between the saplings ready to cast off, he called to slacken up, but the boat going ahead fastened his arm in the vice, the pull and pressure cutting his arm clear from his body, and both falling into the river. Lindermeier managed to crawl up the bank until assistance arrived, when amputation followed, and he was taken home on the train. The severed member was not recovered. He lingered along until Thursday of last week, when he died. He was mate of the Petrol, and a good river man. He leaves a wife and three children. His age was 31.
