The Obituary of Frank D. Short

1873 - 24 January 1929

From the Livonia Gazette, 25 January 1929

Hemlock - The sudden and tragic death of Frank Short of Hemlock, 56 years of age, occurred at 3:20 yesterday afternoon, when he was caught in the fly-wheel of a gasoline engine which he was oiling and was instantly killed. The back of his head was badly mutilated.

Mr. Short was sawing wood in the shed on his farm, had finished the job and was oiling the engine preparatory for future work. In some way his clothes were caught and he was dashed to his death. The two Thorpe boys were present, John have been helping him. They ran at once to the house, notifying Clifford Washburn, who ran to the shed and shut off the engine. When the engine stopped Mr. Short was still caught in the wheel.

The funeral services will be held at the house Sunday afternoon, the hour to be determined upon and announced later. Burial will be in Union cemetery, Livonia.

Mr. Short is survived by his mother, Mrs. Speedie Short; his wife, Mrs. Kittie Thurston Short; one sister, Mrs. E. H. Westbrook and one son, Nathan.
