Hans Solterbeck Dies Following Operation In Ontario Hospital
Hans Solterbeck recently from Germany, and nephew of Henry and H. B. Solterbeck, of Washoe, died Wednesday, May 6th. Death followed an operation for removal of a ruptured appendix in which little hope was held for his recovery from the attending physicians.
Mr. Solterbeck came here from Germany about a year ago, and has been farming on a ranch belonging to his uncle Henry Solterbeck. He was rushed to the hospital after taking severely ill and upon making the incision was found to be almost a hopeless case.
Present plans for the funeral are that it will be held from St. John's Evangelical church at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.
