POECK.-August Poeck, aged 40, a
resident of Ottumwa, was found dead
saturday, November 8, 1913, in Au.
burn, Ill. Md. Poecks throat had
been slashed presumably by his own
hand. The deceased was formerly
employed in the mines at Rutledge,
near Ottumwa. He was a member in
good standing of Ottumwa Lodge No
8, /. o. o. F. He is survived by a
wife and three children, lone, aged g.
Donald, aged 5, and Garnet May, aged
3. His wife is seriously i'll in a hos.
pital in this city and the children are
in the Odd Fellows home in Mason
City. Mr.. Poeck was committed to
the hospital for the insant at Mount
Pleasant about eighteen months ago
and it was not known he had left the
state institution. Illinois officials
are somewhat inclined to believe the
man was murdered, as an examina-
ton by physician at Auburn showed
the injuries were not Of serious ma
ture as only the surface arteries were
severed, but there was a long cash
over the right eye and the doctor was
of the opinion that this caused a frac-
ture Of the skull which proved fatal,
as it penetrated the brain. 1t did not
look as though the man could have
inflicted this himself. The remains
were taken to Ottumwa where funeral
was held Thursday, November. 13, and
interment made in Court Hill GENE
terry, under the auspices of the o.
tumwa Lodge of Odd Fellows. Mrs.
N. A Zellner of this city, mother Of
the wife of the deceased, and his
three children were in attendance up
on the obsequies. The children will
leave this city tonight for the Mason
City Home.
