Christnagel, Almond (? – Aug 1895)

As Lynn Pickett and Almond Christnagel were preparing to watch a “deer lick” in the town of Unity (Clark Co., Wis.) on Thursday, Christnagel took his gun, placed blankets on the butt end of it, and took it by the muzzle and handed the blankets up to Pickett in a tree, where they were preparing to camp and watch for deer. Pickett took hold of the blankets and as Christnagel drew his gun downwards out of the tree, the blankets caught the hammer and the weapon was discharged, the charge striking him at the upper point of the hip and went down through the abdomen and came out at the backside of his thigh. He died the next day wand was buried at Unity Sunday forenoon.
