Nail Scratch Causes Death
Theodore Brose Died Last Night At St. John's Hospital From Blood Poisoning
Widely Known In Helena
Lived Here Seventeen Years - Worked at West Side Meat Market - Fifty Two Years of Age - Member of Butchers' Union and Brotherhood of Owls - Funeral Tomorrow Evening
Theodore Borse, an old timer in Helena, died early last evening at St. John's Hospital. His death was due to blood poisoning caused by a nail scratch on his hand. He was in the employ of the West Side Meat Market and two weeks ago was moving a meat barrel. In some way his left hand was scratched on a nail in the barrel. The scratch was slight and Mr. Brose thought nothing of it. Last Tuesday it began to fester and some of the men he was working with advised him to see a physician. He called at the office of Dr. Rudolph Horsky and had the sore treated. It gradually grew worse and soon developed blood poisoning. His arm swelled to an enormous size and last night the end came suddenly.
Well Known Here
Mr. Brose had been a resident of Helena for 17 years and was one of the best known men here. He was a man with a pleasing personality and made friends wherever he went. Since he came to Helena he worked as a butcher and has been employed in nearly every meat market here. At one time, in partnership with his brother, he ran a market of his own. His brother died about six years ago and since then Brose worked in other markets. For some time he was in the Helena Meat Company's shop and at the time of his death was with Weggeman & Moran, proprietors of the West Side Market. Every place he worked Mr. Brose was held in the highest regard by both his employers and associates. His death will be a shock to his wide circle of friends for up to a few days ago he was among them as actively and good naturedly as ever. In fact few knew of the seriousness of his condition until last night, when it was announced that he was dead.
