Former Palo Man Dies From Snake Bite

Elmer Reeder, aged forty years, of Lake County, Florida, a former resident near
here, died at a hospital near his home December 21, 1929 from the effects of a
rattlesnake bite.

He had previously shot the snake and after the third shot, concluding the snake
was fully dead he reached for the tail to remove the rattles, but just then
received the bite on his hand or wrist from the dead snake or its mate.  He was
taken to the hospital where all that medical science could do proved unavailing.
 The remains were brought here, and funeral services were held at the M.E.
church Saturday afternoon and the interment was in the family lot in Palo
cemetery.  He leaves a wife, his mother and a brother.
