Death from a Fall.
On Saturday last Mr. David Gingrich, a well-to-do farmer, three miles south of this city, was at work finishing a new barn which he had lately built. Mr. Gingrich was up on the joist of the barn, fourteen feet in height from the floor, putting a cross-beam into the joists for the purpose of making an opening to put grain up in the second story. The joist upon which Mr. Gingrich was standing broke down causing him to fall to the floor below. His son, Newton, who was staning on the joist with his father, jumped and caught on some boards which obstructed the fall and escaped unhurt. Mr. Gingrich never spoke after falling. He got the fall about 8 o'clock, a.m. and died at 3 o'clock p.m. His injuries were internal. A physician was promptly called but could give no relief.
Mr. Gingrich emigrated from Juniatta county, Pennsylvania, to this county in the spring of 1877. He was in his seventieth year, and was a member of the Lutheran church. His remains were taken to Mount Carmel church the Sunday following, where the funeral conducted by Rev. George W. Penn, took place. An unusually large concourse of friends were in attendance. He leaves a wdow and six children to mourn their untimely loss. Mr. Gingrich was a good citizen and neighbor and thrifty farmer and will be a loss to his family, his neighbors and the county.

Notes	David Gingrich Abt 69 18 May 1878 Fulton Telegraph, Callaway Weekly Gazette On daughter Annie's death certificate, father was listed as Geramer, not easy to read. Note: name correction from correspondence with Barbara Rivas The name on the death certificate is Gerome. It should be Jerome. And I'm not sure that's even David's middle name or not. David's first child was named Jerome T. They moved to Missouri in 1867 or 1877
