"In a letter to her relatives in this city Mrs. Frank Jarboe of Brainerd states that old Abraham Pancake, who lived in Culdrum town for several years, and was the father of Wash Pancake, had accidentally killed himself. He lived at Brainerd and started out hunting a few [sic] ago and when about three miles out he met an acquaintance and while talking with him he (Pancake) leaned on his gun and his dog ran against the hammer, explodind [sic] the charge and sent the bullet into his body. He lived only a few hours, and was buried on Wednesday last. His son Wash was summoned, and reached there in time to attend the funeral."

Curious but Fatal Accident.
"A very curious accident happened on Tuesday by which Alexander [sic] Pancake lost his life. It seems that Mr. Pancake started from this city to go to his son's camp on Pine river. When about five miles out he met a couple of gentlemen and stopped to converse with them, leaning on his gun. His dog in a playful manner jumped upon him and in getting down he caught his foot on the hammer and discharged the gun, the contents going into Mr. Pancake's left side under his arm and causing death although he lived a half hour after they brought him to Brainerd. His son, Geo. W., was sent for and came down immediately. The funeral services were conducted from Losey & Dean's undertaking rooms on Wednesday afternoon. The deceased was 68 years old."
[Abraham was born in Lawrence Co., Ohio. He and sons George, Samuel, and General Washington moved to Meeker County, Minnesota about 1867. Abraham and General had also resided in Morrison and Cass Counties in Minnesota.]
