Frederic Mathews was the victim of an accident
which occurred at Flint Wednesday afternoon, July 21,
1920, at three o'clock, where he was working in the
city water works. He and other men were digging
trenches for the pipe when digging told them to run as
the sides were caving in. He was part way out when it
caught him.
Frederic Mathews, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Mathews, was born Feb. 17, 1888, in Grout township. He
served in the American Expeditionary Forces 18 months,
was wounded in the left arm while in service, and had
only been home a short time.
The body was brought to Gladwin and taken to the
home of his parents, in Hamilton township, where
services were held Friday, conducted by Elder George
W. Bailey, followed by interment in Highland cemetery.
He is survived by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Ethel
Willis of Boyne City, Lila of Gladwin, and four
brothers, Richard, Howard, Walter and Cecil, besides
many other relatives, and a host of friends. The
bearers were soldier boys.
