West Wimmera Mail, 25 Feb 1916
Fall Into A Barrel, Two Ribs Broken
Mr J.G. NITSCHKE was standing on a barrel, which was resting on a table, fixing up the afternoon tea pavilion for the Rose Fair at Noradjuha on Saturday. The lid of the barrel gave way and Mr NITSCHKE fell to the ground firmly wedged in the barrel, with the painful result that he sustained two fractured ribs and other injuries. It was some time before those who went to his assistance could disentangle him from the barrel. he was taken per motor car to Dr BIRD's surgery, where he received attention, and is progressing favourably towards recovery.

Johannis Gustav NITSCHKE was the son of Gottleib NITSCHKE and Caroline BARTELL.

Birth:
The general concensus is that Johann(es) Gustave NITSCHKE was born on 15 Jun 1875. However, some recent more creative searching of the SA Birth indexes reveals a birth on 15 Jun 1873 in the name of Johannes Gustav NITZSCHKE, the son of Gottlieb Johann NITZSCHKE and Caroline BARTELS.
