JOSEPH KAUFMANN
KAUFMAN SLOWLY BLED TO DEATH, MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN DANGER
Milwaukee Papers Tell of Death of Local Man In That City
Body Brought Here For Burial Sunday Night
Sitting in his chair on a dredge on which he was employed as engineer, at Milwaukee, Joseph Kaufman of this city, slowly bled to death as he smoked his pipe and awaited the hour to begin work. In all probability he was not aware of the insidious death that was overcoming him according to Milwaukee physicians who were called, but reached Kaufman too late to save him.
Mr. Kaufman had long been troubled with what is known as an open leg and his death was due to a ruptured artery, an external hemorrhage of which physicians say Kaufman was undoubtedly unaware, the loss of blood gradually weakening the man until he became unconscious and died.
According to fellow workmen on the dredge, Mr. Kaufman had been engaged in dressing his injured leg and had been overcome while engaged in this work, the leg being only partially bandaged when he was found unconscious in his room. Physicians were immediately called but it was
too late. The body of Mr. Kaufman was brought here Sunday night, accompanied by a brother Peter Kaufman, Milwaukee, and his brother-in-law Gustave Sumann, of this city, who departed for Milwaukee when the message announcing Mr. Kaufman's death was received Saturday. The body was taken to the family home at 2315 Wollmer street.
The funeral of Mr. Kaufman will be held Tuesday morning from St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock.
