Tragic Death For Nelson Man – Frank Ender Fatally Injured Tuesday by Falling Tree – Accident Casts Cloud of Sorrow Over Community
Frank Ender of Nelson, Wisconsin, 85 years old, was the victim of a distressing accident Tuesday afternoon between two and four o'clock when he was struck by a falling tree and receiving injuries which resulted in his death a few hours later.
Together with another man Ender was engaged in cutting down a tree along the road between Nelson and Alma, about four miles from Nelson. The men evidently miscalculated the direction of the falling tree, according to reports Ender did not notice the unexpected danger in time to get out of the way. The falling tree struck him with such force as to inflict fatal injuries to his head. He was saved from being pinned down by a log lying in the path of the tree.
The unfortunate man was at once hurried to the ferry landing and brother to the Wabasha hospital, where he expired at 5 o'clock, shortly after his arrival. The remains were taken to the Wise undertaking parlors in Wabasha, and on Wednesday afternoon removed to the home in Nelson.
Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the Catholic church at Nelson, the Rev. Fr. Eicher officiating. Internment will be made in the cemetery there.
Frank Ender was born at Nelson, Wis., and spent practically his entire life there. He was married at Nelson to Josephine Breitung, who with three sons and two daughters survives him. The children are August and Frank Ender of Chippewa Falls, Wis., Louis Ender of Milwaukee, Mrs. Louisa Raddatz (sic) of Nelson and Mrs. L. E. Marcks of Pepin, Wis.
Mr. Ender also leaves two brothers and two sisters: John and Tebe Ender of Nelson, Miss Susie Ender of Nelson, and Mrs. John Swendiman of Dodge Center, Minn.
Mr. Ender for many years operated a farm near Nelson. From 1907 to 1909 he resided in Spokane, Washington. At the time of his death he was engaged in road work in Nelson township. He was well known and highly esteemed in the community. Always industrious, a devoted husband and father, a model citizen, he will be missed by all who knew him.

Nelson Man Fatally Injured Tuesday
Frank Ender, Sr., Meets with Tragic Accident North of This City That Afternoon
Frank Ender Sr., well known resident of Nelson, met with a fatal accident while engaged in cutting down trees along the highway near the Skreif place about four miles north of this city Tuesday afternoon, April 12, when a large tree fell upon him and injured him to such an extent that death ensued soon after.
The unfortunate man, together with patrolman Joe Stoll, was cutting down trees along the right-of-way at a point, familiarly known as Camp No. 2, to enable them to straighten out a bad curve in the road at the foot of the incline and as a large tree was about to fall Mr. Ender ran down the slope with the intention of getting out of danger only to have the tree fall in the direction in which he was going, crashing down upon him, a large limb striking him to the ground.
Dr. E. W. Jardine was hurriedly summoned from this city and upon his arrival at the scene found that the injured man had suffered a crushed skull and his left leg was broken and seriously crushed, besides being badly bruised otherwise. He was placed in a car with the intention of taking him to the hospital in Wabasha but death occurred just before reaching there, the injured man never regaining consciousness.
The tragic death has cast a cloud of sorrow over the community and the deep sympathy of all goes out to the bereaved relatives. Mr. Ender was sixty-six years of age and leaves besides his sorrowing widow, five children; Mrs. Chas. Radatz of Nelson, August F. and Frank Jr. of Chippewa Falls, Mrs. Louis Marcks of Pepin and Louis of Milwaukee.
