FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Thursday, November 7, 1912 DEATH OF WILL HERMANN Will Hermann, aged 18 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hermann of this place, died at the Hospital in Bonne Terre yesterday, November 6, after an operation amputating his right leg. Poison from a boil and tonsolitis had settled in his knee causing an abscess, and he was sent to the hospital about six weeks ago. Yesterday it was decided to amputate the leg as the only chance of saving his life, and the operation was performed by Dr. Poston of Bonne Terre and Dr. Downing of this place. He died from the shock about an hour and a half after the operation. The body was brought home to Farmington, and the funeral will take place Friday morning. Will was a worthy, industrious young man, and a host of friends deplore his untimely death. The bereaved parents and family have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.
