Notes for GEORGE SIGLER:

The Zanesville Daily Times Recorder, February 29th, 1904

ACCIDENT IS FATAL

Victim of Fast Driving at Duncan Falls Succumbs

Was Taken Home to Die Saturday

Grief Stricken Wife Remained By Husband's Side Until Death Came

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

George Sigler, the victim of the fast driving accident about 9 o'clock Wednesday evening, along the dark road leading into Duncans Falls, about a half mile out of the village, died at 6 o'clock Sunday morning at his home, about two miles east of Duncans Falls.

Saturday it was realized that Sigler could not recover, and he was taken from George B. Davis' residence, in Hearing & Co. ambulance, that he might breathe his last in his own home. Sigler is about 56 years old and is survived by a wife.

Wednesday eveing, Sigler and Jas. Harkness, of Mt. Vernon, were driving in light rigs from Zanesville to Duncans Falls. Sigler was enroute home and Harkness was going on a visit to his brother, John Harkness, who lives four miles north of Duncans Falls.

Sigler had passed Harkness several times on the way down. When, within about a half mile of the villlage, Harkness heard Sigler coming behind at a fast clip. Harkness pulled into the left to avoid a smash-up and collided with a post. His buggy was turned up-side-down, and he was thrown out and painfully injured. However, he was able to proceed to his brother's home Thursday morning.

Sigler passed the over-turned Harkness rig at a breakneck speed. This was just where the road took a sudden turn. Sigler is supposed to have stood in his carriage to peer back into the darkness in an effort to ascertain the extent of Harkness' trouble. He was precipitated violently to the ground just as the turn was made. His head struck first and the skull was fractured.

Sigler was picked up unconscious ten minutes later by George Elmore, and carried into the nearby residence of George R. Davis. He remained unconscious all Wenesday night and semi conscious Thursday night and Friday, but the change for the worse set in Friday night.

Sigler's wife was by his side from the time of the accident until death came.

Brush Creek Cemetery used to be the United Brethren Church Cemetery. Follow 555 past Ronnie Hall's, then past the Brush Creek Church then one trailer and one house. The cemetery is past the house, hidden by brush; the homes are on the left side of the road. The property is owned by the Rupes.

Heinrich Joseph Floss, born by Maria Koll and her first husband, became a
catholic priest and started a career at university. He became Professor Dr.
Dr. Floss and lead the catholic part of the University of Bonn.
With the money he earned, he helped his family and suported the children of
his sister Anna Catharina Floss. After the early death of Johann Corzelius
in 1840 he supported this family too. The joungest son of Johann Corzelius
and Maria Koll, Johann Peter Corzelius, became a doctor. Maria Koll lived
with her son Heinrich Joseph in Bonn until she died. They were both burried
in the graveyard of Wormersdorf. The grave is still existing today.
