The Butler Herald February 12, 1925
UNLESS COMPLICATIONS ARISE MR. FRANK PETERMAN WILL RECOVER PISTOL WOUND 
RECEIVED SUNDAY

Mr. Frank Peterman, 22, son if Mr. and Mrs. Alvin P. Peterman, living about 
five miles south-east of Butler, has according to statements yesterday of his 
physicians, Drs. C. F. Fickling and R. C. Montgomery, a fairly good chance for 
recovering from a wound to his left breast from a 32-caliber pistol fired 
about noon Sunday by Mr. Peterman himslef, the unfortunate accident occurring 
at the home of his father where he and his young wife have been residing since 
their return from Akron, Ohio, about two weeks ago.
The ball is said to have penetrated one lung increasing the danger of 
pneumonia, which, however, has not yet developed, and with the special care he 
is receiving it is hoped it will be avoided.
Mr. Peterman was alone in his room when the accident occurred, and has not 
been able to give any satisfactory explanation of the shooting.
Both, the parents, and the devoted wife of the young man are griefstricken 
over the affair which if not purely accidental cannot be accounted for.
Besides both physicians and the anxious household, many neighbors and friends 
are offering every assistance to relieve the patient of his suffering and in 
the effort to save his life.
