Quite a number of friends of Frank Medsker attended his funeral Saturday at Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Medsker’s death was caused by blood poison caused by erysipelas of the hand, caused by being bit on the finger some time ago in a fight with his neighbors over a cream separator. His left arm was amputated last Saturday a week, thinking that would save his life. He died Dec. 23 at his home in Moral township. He leaves a wife, father, three brothers, two sisters and a number of friends to mourn his loss.
