BOBERG, Edward Obituary

HIS INJURY WAS FATAL
EDWARD BOBERG CRUSHED IN THE YARDS NEAR EAST ST. PAUL
FOUND BY THE NEXT TRAIN

Engineer of the Train Behind That Which Mangled Him Found Boberg Lying on the Track.

Edward Boberg was run over by a train on the Duluth branch of the Northern Pacific yesterday morning, near Post Siding station, and died at the city hospital at 1 p.m. Boberg was an employee of the Gribben Lumber company and was on his way to work when run over. It is not known just how the accident occurred, as the injured man was not noticed until some time after, and when picked up he was unable to talk from loss of blood.

Boberg was first seen by the engineer of the Duluth train which arrives in the city at 7:15. He was placed on the train and brought to the union depot. The police patrol was summoned, and the dying man was taken to the hospital where Dr. Ancker found that both legs were almost completely severed above the knees and concluded that amputation was useless.

Mrs. Boberg was notified and was her husband's side until the end. Mr. Boberg was forth-five years old, and lived with his family near Maryland avenue, on the White Bear road. There are four children. [The Saint Paul Globe, (St. Paul, MN), December 4, 1900, P.2]

Dr. Montgomery read a selection from the Scriptures, offered prayer and then gave a feeling talk, in which he referred at great length to the late newspaper worker. He told of his associations with him; of him many months of suffering and recited many incidents which illustrated the Christian spirit which was ever present in the daily life of the deceased.
