Meyer, Elmer (22 Nov. 1915 - 16 Sept. 1947)

Colby - A silo filling accident caused the death of Elmer Meyer, 31 year-old Colby township farmer, at his farm three miles west of here late Tuesday.

Meyer had jumped from his wagon to investigate a noise in the filler when the cover of the blower fan flew off and struck him in the head. He was instantly killed.

A native of Colby township, where he was born on Nov. 22, 1915, Meyer leaves a wife and two sons, Ronald, five, and Robert, five and one-half months. His mother, Mrs. Arthur Edblom, town of Colby, also survives. His father, Fred Meyer, died in 1943. He was the only grand son of Mrs. Bertha Wilbert of Abbotsford, Wis.

Funeral services will be conducted at St. Paul’s Lutheran church, Green Grove, at 2:00 p.m. Friday, the Rev. M. C. Goetsch officiating. Burial will take place in the Green Grove cemetery.
