Theodore C Bossung

Narrative

Patrolman Bossung died after contracting tetanus as a result of being dragged by a horse ten (10) days earlier. Patrolman Bossung was the driver of a patrol wagon and was answering a call at Clay and Oak Streets when the horses' harness became tangled. As he attempted to untangle it, some of the horses bolted, dragging him behind them for an entire city block. He received a cut on his head which required 12 stitches, which lead to him contracting tetanus.

He is survived by his wife.
