LAS VEGAS AGE
3/4/1916

DIED

MATZDORF:  In Los Angeles, Thursday morning, March 2, 1916, J. W. 
MATZDORF, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. MATZDORF of this city.
    The young man has been a resident of Las Vegas for several years and 
was in the employ of the Salt Lake road as a fireman. A few days ago he 
became afflicted with an infection of the inside of the lip. Upon 
consulting Dr. HEWETSON, the latter pronounced it erysipelas and sent 
the patient to Los Angeles. Owing to the infectious nature of the 
disease, the Sisters' hospital refused to receive the case and he was 
taken to the infectious ward of the county hospital, where he received 
every possible help. However, the disease followed the mucuous membrane 
to the throat and death ensued after an illness of only three or four 
days.
    The deceased was an estimable young man, having many friends who 
mourn his loss.  The parents have the sincere sympathy of all in their 
bereavement.
