Lauritz Johan Travland / Lewis Joseph Travland death

Here is a newspaper article regarding the injury Lewis Joseph Travland (his Norwegian name: Lauritz Johan Travland) received which led to his death.     The front page of The San Antonio Light reported the incident in their October 21, 1916 edition.

The newspaper article is dated October 21, 1916 but the death certificate according to his great granddaughter Trish Hodgens, records the death as October 20, 1916.

Lewis was born Lauritz Johan Pederson Travland on December 21, 1949 to Taletta Larsdatter and Peder Pederson Travland.    His baptism record was posted here and his confirmation record, also confirming his date of birth was posted here.   

His Americanized name was Lewis (occasionally seen spelled Louis) Joseph Pederson Travland, however the use of the Norwegian naming system also came into play such as in the above news article:   L. P. Travland which represented Lewis Pederson (or Americanized, 'Peterson') Travland, Pederson derived from his father's first name, Peder.

I previously posted two photographs of Lewis here and here and also posted his death here.
