Mr. Ziem went to the Martin farm early in the afternoon to cut corn as fodder for his cow. His prolonged stay in the field alarmed his family and, upon investigation, they found him dead in the field, about a quarter of a mile from the Martin home.

Rites will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence and at 2:30 from the St. James church. Rev. Otto Bruss will officiate and burial will be in St. James cemetery.
