The remains of Mrs. Frankie Bovenizer of Waterloo were bro't here for burial last Saturday. Mr. Bovenizer and a sister of Mrs. B., Mrs. Etta DeLand of Mich., accompanied the remains. Mrs. Bovenizer was a resident of Frankville about 19 years ago, and was held in high esteem by all who knew her, as she was always ready to lend a helping hand or speak a kind word. She has been a patient sufferer for many years and has been tenderly cared for by her husband until death came to her relief on Thursday, Dec. 20, 1922. Deceased was about 67 years of age. Mr. Bovenizer has the sympanthy of many friends in this hour of bereavement. (Frankville News column)

D.A. Holmes had a close call for his life last Friday, says the Lansing Journal. He was at work in his garage replacing a broken spring in his Overland Six, and instead of using a jackscrew had the car blocked up. When about half through with the job and while lying on his back underneath the car, the blocking slipped and let the weight of one side down on his chest. But for his son Cornelius being in close proximity and seeing his dilemma his life would doubtless have been crushed out. By herculean efforts Conny raised the car so his father could extricate himself.
