Without Warning Death Comes to the Sewer Inspector at the Corner of Sixth and Main Street--The Cause of Death Attributed Embolism of the Arterial Circulation.
Last Wednesday while on his way to the city hall for instructions, Sewer Inspector Herman Beyer dropped dead at the corner of Sixth and Main streets. The cause of death being attributed to embolism of the arterial circulation by venus thrombus or clot.
The deceased had been engaged in inspecting the new Tremont avenue sewer. While at work about two weeks ago he bruised his hand. This finally healed. On Sunday last he noticed that the veins of the hand in the neighborhood of the bruise were becoming enlarged and of a bluish color and that the muscles of the arm were beginning to swell. He went to Dr. Matthey who was his family physician. After examining the arm the doctor told him what the trouble was and dressed the arm. The bruise had caused what is known to the medical profession as phlebites obstructive or extended congested condition of both the superficial and deep veins of the arm.
The doctor explained to him the dangers of the trouble and after bandaging and dressing the arm instructed him to remain quietly at home or he would have trouble. He was anxious, however, to be at his work and as his arm was not so very painful he thought there would be no harm in going to work as it required no great amount of manual labor. Accordingly on Monday and Tuesday he disregarded the doctors instructions and finished his work on Tremont avenue. Wednesday he was to go over on to Rock Island street, where a new sewer is being put in. He had slept well the night before and got up this morning feeling better than usual and after breakfast, his wife put his arm in a sling and he started off at 6:15 o'clock for the city hall. The swelling in his arm had extended to his shoulder neck and shoulder blade. He resided at No. 1936 Ripley street and had proceeded as far as Sixth and Main when, without warning, he fell forward striking his face. There was a number of people on the street at the time and in a few seconds John L. Cameron, Louis Gromoll and Street Commissioner Adolph Lepper were at his side. He gave two or three gasps and expired.
Mr. Cameron immediately summoned the patrol wagon and telephoned Dr. McCortney the coroner. The police took the body to the house of the deceased at which place, shortly after, the coroner viewed the remains.
Deceased was born in Hanover, Ger., and was 49 years of age. He came to Davenport with his parents when but 3 years old. Enlisting during the war he served in Company K of the Fifty-eight Illinois volunteer as a private. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and of the Northwest Turner society. He is survived by his wife and two children, a boy of 11 and a girl of 10 years. he is also survived by his aged mother and a sister, Mrs. Lee B. Grabbe and a brother Albert C. Beyer.
