Story Of The Sculptured Stone
STORY OF THE SCULPTURED STONE
Ann Arbor, Feb. 24, 1902. Editor of the Argus:
I saw in this morning's Free Press an item which I have seen several times. I will now correct it. John Martin Hahn, whose tombstone in the German burial place has attracted so much attention, lived with my brother four miles east of Ann Arbor on the Botsford farm. As Mr. Hahn was coming from the field his cap blew off, which frightened the horses he was driving. As they ran through the gateway into the yard the wheel struck the gate post throwing him off the wagon, breaking his neck. He lived a very short time. I was at home at the time and with him when he died I know the particulars. Why the stone was made as it is we have often wondered, as there was no box on the wagon at the time of the accident.
