Youth Burkhart was a member of a wood sawing crew employed by his uncle Ignatz Burkhart of St. Nazianz, and was at work in the Burkhart woods a few miles from the village. A power machine was being used and in some unaccountable manner the saw became loosened and was released from the shaft to which it was attached.

The saw ploughing its way into the head, cutting a gash several inches long and deep, extending the full length of the scalp, and exposing the brain. Fellow workmen cared for the lad and removed him to the home of the uncle where he received every attention. But death resulted in a few hours from hemorrhage.
