Bio
Son of John and Frances Hajek Dworak ------------------------------------------- Died of Erysipelas We are shocked to learn of the death of John Dworak of Comstock. Two weeks ago he scratched his hand slightly on a piece of tin. He had it treated by the doctor and it promptly healed. Nothing was thought of it at the time, and a week ago Sunday he was at church and was in the jolliest spirits. Later a swelling started on his chest and rapidly spread over his whole side, turning black and showing a malignant attack of erysipelas. Doctors were called from various points and every thing done for him that the science could devise, but he succumbed to the inevitable yesterday morning. Among the physicians called was Dr. Haldeman, who made the trip over there Tuesday evening and from his we learn most of the facts about this sad case. When he saw the sick man his whole side was black and severely affected, and it looked to the doctor then that it was a hopeless case. When it was seen how serious the case was his brother F. J. Dworak of Ord and Anthony of Longmont, Colo., were notified. The latter came to Ord Tuesday and was taken by an automobile over there that night, and returned later in the night. Yesterday morning word came that the sick man passed away at 7:10. The brothers at once made ready to go back and make arrangements for the funeral. The dead man and his wife have a large store and much business to look after. By this sudden death all this responsibility devolves upon the widow. Fortunately she has had an active part in the affairs of the store and so will not be at sea as to the conduct of the business.
