YOUNG MEXICAN VICTIM OF PTOMAINE BURIED
Youngest Son of Prominent Family in Mexico – Here Studying – Has Many Friends.
Far from his country the body of Antonio Acuna, youngest son of a prominent Mexican family, was buried in Holy Sepulchre at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The funeral was held at St. Mary Magdalene church.
Acuna died Saturday morning of ptomaine poisoning, after an illness of but a few hours. He was 22 years of age.
According to Mrs. M. A. Sadler, head of the Omaha Employment bureau, Acuna’s father is the owner of an immense ranch near Zacatecas, Mex. In 1912 the young man came to Omaha to work for his living and continue his study of law and languages. He made a circle of friends in Omaha. His casket is covered with flowers they sent to his memory.
Francisco Acuna, brother of the dead man, says Mrs. Sadler, is the head of the Mexican telegraph system, and has held this office through all the troublous times since before the closing of the reign of the late President Diaz of Mexico. The aged father is alone on the ranch near Zacatecas. The mother died about six months ago. The father and brother, being unable to come, directed that the burial be here.
