Ole Peterson, Ellsworth Man, Died

Ole Peterson, 66, died at the Webster City hospital shortly before midnight Friday, death being caused by complications following a broken hip.

Peterson, who lived alone at Ellsworth, was found in his home Sunday afternoon by Andrew Thompson, a neighbor. He was lying in a crumple position on the floor, suffering from a fractured left hip. It is thought he had been injured since Saturday.

It is not known how he fell, but he had been in critical condition at the hospital for several days.

Peterson was not married. He leaves two sisters, a half sister at Titonka, and two half brothers, Oscar and Clarence Peterson of Ellsworth. He was a retired laborer and had lived in Ellsworth many years.
