Lockjaw Causes Death
_
The motorcycle claimed a victim near Ora Sunday evening, when Albert
Kinzie
died as a result of injuries suffered while riding a machine.
Several days ago Kinzie was riding a cycle behind Frank Kistler, also
of Ora.
A few miles south of Knox they were humming along at a merry clip and
when
passing a team they turned out into a rough piece of road. The
bumping of
the machine caused Kinzie to lose his balance, and as he fell his right
foot
was caught by the spokes of the rear wheel. The heel was frightfully
torn,
giving intense pain, and seventeen stitches were required to close
the wound.
The injuredman was removed to Ora, and the indications were that he
would
recover after several weeks. But lockjaw set in the latter part
of last week,
and the end soon came.
The young man was eighteen years of age, and is spoken of as an exemplary
fellow. He home was near Hoover, in Cass County, though he has
been working
in Ora for the Arnold Motorcycle agency. The remains were taken
to the family
home in Cass County, and the funeral was held Tuesday from Corinth
Church near
Twelvemile.
***
Verne, the ten month old child of Ben Herrick and wife, died last Thursday
night,
from Cholera infantum. The funeral was held Saturday forenoon,
with services
at the Pulaski Presbyterian Church by Rev. A.S. Warriner, followed
by interment
in the Pulaski Cemetery. |
