Death From Lockjaw

Phares Henry Hoke, forty-two years old, died Tuesday morning at his home near Heistand station, 
of lock jaw, after a sickness of one week.  Lock jaw developed from slight injuries to a finger 
of his left hand and to one of his feet.

About 10 days ago he injured his finger unloading logs, having it caught between a crow bar and 
a wheel of the wagon.  Several days later a nail in his shoe penetrated the sole of his foot.  
He was attacked by blood poisoning and last Thursday he became bedfast.  He is survived by a 
wife; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Hoke, Roundtown; two children and several brothers and 
sisters.
