MELVIN ROMESBURG

Hunting Victim Passes Away

  This vicinity was much shocked when word was received that Melvin Romesburg of 
Upper Turkeyfoot Township, who had been accidently shot while deer hunting and 
had his limb amputated, had passed away suddenly Sunday morning.  On Saturday he 
seemed so well on the way to recovery that his friends were very happy.  
Conditions were most serious when he was taken to the hospital.  He had several 
blood transfusions and a few days later his leg was amputated.  He stood the 
operation quite well, but a blood clot formed with fatal results.  Everything 
was done for him that it was possible for physicians and nurses to do.  He is 
survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Romesburg, his wife, who was the 
former Emma Brock, and two little boys.  At this writing funeral arrangements 
are not known.  The obituary will be in next week's paper.

Meyersdale Republican, January 2, 1941
