In Response To: Frederick Kahlstorf Obituary Wanted (Errin Wilker)

Frank Kahlstorf of Britt is suffering from a badly infected thumb caused by a bite from a rat. The rat was in a wire trap when it nipped the Britt man's thumb.

Died from the Bite of a Rat

Frederick Kahlstorf died recently on his farm in Hancock county at the age of 73 from the bite of a rat. He caught the rat in a steel trap. When he lifted the trap by the chain the animal ran up the chain and fastened its fangs into the fleshy portion of his hand. He paid but little attention to the wound and it was not long until what is known to the medical profession as rat fever set in and death resulted.
