DEATH TAKES AUGUST KANNE

Injuries Received in Automobile Accident Prove Fatal. August Kanne, who was so seriously, injured Tuesday evening of last week when his automobile turned over as he was returning to his home near Campus, Illinois, as reported in Saturday’s Democrat, died at 5:30 Sunday morning in a hospital at Streator, Illinois, where he was taken for treatment. Death was due to a fractured skull. At times he gave signs of regaining consciousness but his injuries were so serious that he could nqt survive. Everything was done for him that the best surgical skill could do but to no avail. Mr. Kanne was 41 years of age and had lived in that community practically all of his life. He is survived by his wife and two children, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kanne, of this city, and eight brothers and two sisters, Joseph, Frank, George, Tone, Edward, Alfred, Arthur, Mrs. Stephen Kohley and Mrs. Gaylord McFarland, of this place, and John Kanne of Campus. The remains were brught to Rensselaer Monday evening and taken to the home of his parents where a throng of sorrowing friends and relatives awaited. Funeral services were held at St. Augustine’s Catholic church at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and the remains laid to rest in Mt. Calvary cemetery, south of town.
