DEATH CLAIMS. MAN AFTER OPERATION

Frank Simonin, Near Goodland, Succumbed Seven Days After Appendicitis Operation. Frank Simoftin, aged about 43 years and for some years a resident of Newton county, died at about* 2 o'clock this Tuesday morning at his home a quarter of a mile east of Good land on the Remington-Goodland road. Mr. Simonin was operated on a week previous to his death. A surgeon came from Chicago after Mr. Simonin had been taken suddenly ill and the operation was performed but he did not get along very well and it is understood the surgeon was recalled a time or two during the week. A week ago Mr. Simonin and family, had gone to Lafayette to attend the funeral of a niece of Mrs. Simonin and it was on the way home that he became very sick. Monday his condition was such that it was not thought safe to take him to the hospital for an, operation and the surgeon was called there. The same day Victor Babcock, a neighbor, Was taken to Chicago for a similar operation, and another neighbor, George Fox, had died the night before following his return from a visit at Frankfort., The neighborhood seems to be having more than its share of afflictions. Mr. Simonin came to Indiana from Illinois. His parents live in Jordan township and are natives of France. The name is usually (given the pronounciation of “Simony.” He is survived by his wife artd two children, a son and a* daughter. His wife was formerly Miss Bertha Engles and her father, Christian Engles - , makes his home with her. The funeral will probably be held Wednesday, but arrangements had not been completed this morning.
