Kempin, William (? - 1 September 1911)
One of the worst accidents ever known on this branch of the Omaha happened last Friday forenoon at about 11 o’clock when a rig driven by August Kempin and his 9-year old son Willie was struck by the west bound passenger train at the Yolo crossing about 2 miles west of Chili; instantly killing the boy and the horse and severely injuring Mr. Kempin.
The funeral of little William Kempin was held from the house Sunday afternoon, Rev. Zielsdorf of Nasonville officiating. The parents, sisters and brothers of this unfortunate boy have the deepest sympathy of all their neighbors and friends.
