Meske, Frank (Judged Insane – 2 Nov 1918)
Sheriff Hewett took Frank Meske to Mendota on Saturday, Meske having been
adjudged insane. He is a butter-maker from near Thorp and a chain of deaths is
responsible for his mental condition. About a month ago his wife died from the
“flu” and a short time after that his brother-in-law died from the same cause.
Soon after the second death, Meske loaned his automobile to a friend who ran the
car off a bridge and was killed in the accident. The three deaths were too much
for Meske’s mental equilibrium and he went insane.
