  INSECT OR BUG'S BITE MORE DEADLY THAN SNAKE CAUSES DEATH OF LOCAL FISHERMAN. VICTOR ZIEGLER, BURIED YESTERDAY. VICTIM OF UNKNOWN INSECT WHILE AT PIKE'S PEAK. The bite of an insect or bug, the identity of which is not known by the attending physicians, caused the death Saturday of Victor William Ziegler, Locust Street, the Record learned today. While the doctors in attendance are at a loss as to the insect's or bug's identity, all three are agreed that the poison was more deadly than that which follows a snake bite. Vic, as he was known to his many acquaintances, was on a fishing trip at Pike's Bay with his two brothers Gerry (Garret) and Alfred. They left Kitchener a week ago Sunday. When he awoke Tuesday morning, Victor noticed a pimple on his nose, evidence of a bite or sting sustained some time during the night. Little attention was paid to the bite on Tuesday or Wednesday. By Thursday morning infection had set in with a resultant swelling and the trio left for their home in Kitchener. On their arrival here medical aid was summoned and some relief seemed to be given but by Friday morning his face was swollen to such an extent that he could not see out of either eye. Before noon Saturday his sight was entirely gone. Paralysis set in and shortly after that he lapsed into unconsciousness, from which he failed to rally, dying in the evening. Doctor Hett and Lackner of Kitchener and Wellman of Waterloo were the attending physicians. FUNERAL YESTERDAY Hundreds of acquaintances paid their last tribute to the deceased at the funeral service which was held at his late home yesterday afternoon. Rev. Dr. H. A. Sperling, pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran Church was in charge of the services. Interment followed in St. Peter's Lutheran Cemetery. Kitchener Daily Record, Sept. 1929 ________________ KITCHENER MAN IS VICTIM OF BLOOD POISONING Victor Ziegler Suffered From Infection of Nose Which Caused Blood Poisoning Victor Ziegler of Kitchener while on a fishing trip to Pike's Bay was bitten on the nose by an insect. Blood poisoning set in and he passed away at his home on Louisa St., Kitchener, on Saturday. The unfortunate man, not thinking his condition to be serious, waited two days before consulting a doctor. In spite of the best medical attention on the part of Drs. Lackner, Hett and Wellman he passed away. Waterloo Chronicle 26 Sep 1929, p. 6
