Notice.
while attending to his duties at
Motz's furniture factory, a
large splinter flew from a saw
which he was passing, and
struck him in the temple, in
flicting what he thought was a
trifling wound. This injury
developed into an ugly sore and
from that it became a cancer,
which covered a large part of
one side of his face. While it
was known that there was no
hope of curing him, it was gen
erally hoped and believed that
his life would be prolorged for
some months. Two days be
fore his death, complications
appeared and his death came
unexpectedly.
