FRANKENLUST MAN TWISTED HIS NECK DIES SOON AFTER
Frankenlust Man Snaps Something in Head and Lives Only Short Time.
Bay City, Mich., Nov. 6.—William L. Dommer, in some peculiar manner, Tuesday, while taking his thrasher out of his barn in Frankenlust, twisted his neck, causing a hemorrhage which resulted in his death. As he turned the thrasher gave a sudden jolt and something snapped in Downer's head. He didn't notice any ill effect at the time and continued his Journey. He had covered but a short distance when he began to feel dizzy and, stopping his machine, he got out and lay down on the grass along the roadside. A few minutes later three friends happened along. He told them what the trouble was and they carried him to his home. His condition continued to grow worse and he died a short time after a physician arrived.

This married farmer's parents were Wm F Dommer and Margaret Bourk Dommer, born in Germany and Mich respectively.
