. . .

— Abe Schmidt, one of the well known farmers living three miles north of Walton, died early Monday morning at the Bethel Hospital. mr. Schmidt, a strong, robust man, was brought to the hospital at the beginning of last week seriously ill from an infection on his leg. The infection resulted from a small wound which appeared negligible at first but soon developed into blood poisoning which was beyond the doctor's help. Previous to his sickness, Mr. Schmidt had been able to run his combine and finish his harvest. He is survived by his deeply sorrowing wife and three sons and two daughters. The funeral is to take place Thursday afternoon at the Tabor church, where he was a member.
