Prominent Farmer Died Early Saturday Morning

Sol Beese, one of Garfield County's best known farmers, died at 2:30 Saturday morning at the General Hospital of blood poisoning. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the Evangelical church at Waukomis.

Mr. Beese was prostrated by the heat while working in a harvest field about six or seven weeks ago. He had been suffering from blood poisoning in right arm. The effects of the heat prostration left him in a critical condition an abscess forming on his right arm. Mr. Beese was taken to Enid and an operation performed. He was recovering from the blood poisoning when he left the General Hospital alone about a week ago to take an automobile ride. On the way out to the car he was seen to stumble over a rock. Be he got into his car, took a ride and returned to the hospital before he had discovered that he had broken his arm. This was the direct cause of his death. The arm was broken at the point where the abscess had formed. - Enid Eagle.

Mr. Beese is a brother of Henry Beese and is well known. A large number of friends from here attended the funeral Sunday afternoon.
