On Thursday our city was startled by the painful intelligence that the Lutheran Church, in course of construction in this city, was the scene of a fatal accident. Upon due inquiry it was ascertained the Rheinold Miller, while arranging the platform in the steeple, upon which he was at work, missed his footing and fell to the ground, a distance of some fifty feet, striking his head and shoulders. Miller’s friends are desirous of doing all in their power to assist his family in their affliction and are soliciting contributions from our citizens for that purpose. Any person wishing to aid them can hand their donations to C. Ochs, who will take charge of this effort. (New Ulm Weekly Review, Wednesday, July 19, 1882, Volume V, Number 34, Page 3)
