Charles Mote
DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN.
Died, at Hansen & Frahm's restaurant in Manning on Wednesday, December 2,
Charles Mote, aged twenty-six years. He came to this city from Ida Grove last June to do
the baking for the restaurant. His always pleasant countenance and happy temperament
won for Charlie Mote many good friends here who, today, deeply regret that he has so
unexpectedly been called away. While about his duties at the bake shop on last Saturday
morning Charlie made a misstep and fell in such a manner as to sustain internal injuries,
and it was these that resulted in his death. He suffered great agony from the time of the
accident until early Wednesday morning, when the pain subsided, mortification having
set in. Dr. Williams, the attending physician, realizing that the patient would surely die if
relief was not had at once, he resolved to try the last remedy, and at 9:30 on Wednesday
morning, Williams in conjunction with Dr. A.L. Wright, who came down from Carroll on the
morning train, proceeded to perform an operation. But the patient died at twelve o'clock.
The father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Mote, and brother, Austin, of the deceased,
arrived in the city Wednesday morning from Ida Grove, their home town, and to which
place the remains were shipped for interment, which took place this afternoon.
