RUDOLPH MEYER
BROKEN NECK FATAL TO TWO RIVERS MAN, DIED EARLY SUNDAY
Rudolph Meyer, Injured when Thrown by a Colt, Dies at Hospital Sunday Morning, Body Taken to 2 Rivers
Rudolph Meyer, the town of Two Rivers man who suffered a broken neck when he was thrown by a young colt on his farm Friday, died at the Holy Family hospital early Sunday morning. The body was taken to Two Rivers and from there to the home for burial. Nothing will ever be known of the accident which cost Meyer his life as he was unable to tell how it happened and no one witnessed the accident. Meyer was in the stable yard alone, caring for the colt and it is believed that he was thrown by the animal and that the jar fractured the vertebrae as there were no marks on the spine or body to indicate that the injury had been caused by a
blow, such as a kick from the horse, and striking of the man on an obstruction. The yard is rather stony and there was considerable wood about the lot but evidently Meyer had not fallen on a stone or a piece of wood and the only explanation is that the jar when he was thrown by the colt, snapped the cord.
Meyer was 42 years of age and married and leaves a wife and one child to mourn his death. An operation was performed late Saturday afternoon in hope of saving the man's life but it was unavailing and he died a few hours later.
