SUDDENLY WHILE AT WORK c

The people of Elmore  and  vi-.
cinity were greatly shocked Mon-  r
day afternoon to learn that Frank
Dischinger, b7, had died suddenly   c
while driving   a   corn   binder   on j ^
his  farm   south  of  town.     The
hand of death was laid on him as
he was sitting in the seat  of  the
corn binder  about  tnree  o'clock
Monday afternoon.
He had been feeling   as  usual
during the day and that afternoon
he was operating the corn binder
while his sons, Edward and Clar¬
ence, did the shocking.   The last j
time he passed the boys he  stop- ;
ped a few  moments  to  talk  and
then continued on his way around
the field.   Failing to return after j
the usual length of time the boys j
started to walk through the  corn ;
and up  to the end  of  the  field!
where they saw the horses stand-j
ing.      On   arriving    there    theyj
found their father still sitting on j
the seat of the binder  with the j
lines clutched in  his hands  but
his head was leaning to one  side
and his face was blue. They has¬
tily lifted him off the binder  and
placed him on the ground but life
was already extinct.
Mr. Dischinger had been suffer¬
ing sight heart attacks for sotre
time and so the end was not alto¬
gether unexpected. He had evi¬
dently made the turn at the end
of the field and had stopped the
horses before the attack came up¬
on him as only a slight movement
of the machine would have thrown
him to the ground, probably un¬
der the main wheel of the binder.
Always an active man with wide
interests, he passed away sudden¬
ly while in the midst of his work
with his interests still unabated.
Frank H. Dischinger was born
March 17, 1366, at Port Clinton,
Ohio, the only child of Henry and
Charlotte Dischinger. His par¬
ents moved to Elmore when their
baby was only two weeks old and
he has always lived here, either
in town or on the farm just south
of town, which was his homedur-
ing his entire married life. A
cousin raised by his parents was
as a sister to him.
In early manhood he married
Miss Minnie Kinsting, a sister of
Henry Kinsting of this place. To
this union two sons were born,
Henry and Edward. The wife
did not survive the birth of a
third child, that also died.
On September 15, 1898, he was
married to Miss Clara Netcher
and one son was born to them,
Clarence, who continued to make
his home with them after his
marriage. h
