Maxamillian Herzog Dies at Ross Hospital
Maxamillian Herzog, one of the oldest residents of Marin county and a retired San Rafael meat dealer, well known throughout the by district, died Wednesday afternoon at the Ross General hospital shortly after being run over by an incoming Northwestern Pacific electric train.
The old gentleman, who is past 80? years, had been stopping at the Ancin? Vista Inn for a day or two, in company with a nurse. While there he attended the San Anselmo Rotary Club luncheon with his son, S. K. Herzog, as a guest. Following the luncheon Herzog walked alone from the hotel, passed through a ___?___ which has recently been placed by the railroad company, and while on the tracks was hit by a train coming into San Rafael from San Anselmo, at a speed of 10 miles per hour.
Both legs to the knee were severed almost completely and the body otherwise mangled. He was immediately taken to the Ross hospital where he died about 4 o’clock, two hours after the accident. Dr. R. G. Dufficy was in attendance.
Funeral services will be held Friday, June 4th at 11 a.m. from the new mortuary of Halsted & Co., 1123 Sutter street, near Polk, San Francisco. Interment will be at the Home of Peace.
Maxamillian Herzog was the husband of the late Augusta Herzog, father of Sigfried, Dr. George and Sidney Herzog and Mrs. H. H. Lichtenstein, Mrs. Julia Rheinstein and Mrs. A. S. Lee, a native of Germany.
During the past three years and since the death of his wife Mr. Herzog has resided in San Francisco, making occasional trips to this city, where he visited with his son, S. K. Herzog and numerous friends. Up to the time of his untimely death he was enjoying fair health, but was somewhat enfeebled by his advanced age.
