Obituary

Died: At his home in this city, May 12, '99, B. Frank Emery, aged 72 years.

Mr. Emery died from the effect of injuries received Wednesday while
stretching some wire fence on his premises. The machine for placing the
fence sprung back and struck Mr. Emery on the side of the head severely
fracturing his skull just back of the ear.

Local surgeons were immediately called and Dr. Jackson of Madison later in
the day operated upon the wound giving the patient relief until the coming
of the Great Physician.

Mr. Emery came to this vicinity from New York State during war times. He
was a great worker in the M. E. Church to which organization he was early
connected.

The deceased was one of the directors of the Bank of Evansville for years
and was highly esteemed by all.

He leaves a wife and one son besides four brothers and two sisters.

The funeral will occur at the home Sunday afternoon at 2:00. Rev. Rollins
will officiate.

May 13, 1899, The Badger, Evansville, Wisconsin
