FRANK WEIDMAN DIES

Crawford Township Farmer Apparently Victim of Sunstroke

Frank P. Weidman, Crawford township farmer, died in the Winterset hospital Wednesday, apparently the victim of sunstroke Monday while working in the field.

Mr. Weidman had gone to the field to plow corn Monday morning and had taken his lunch with him. When he did not return that evening, they went to look for him, and found him unconscious in the field. He had not eaten his lunch, so it is thought that he was stricken during the morning. He was brought to the hospital, Monday night, for treatment, but died Wednesday.

The funeral will be held at the Catholic church in Churchville, but the time had not been determined as the Madisonian went to press.
