Well Known Northwest Butler County Farmer Succumbs to Car Gas Fumes

Roy S. Diemart, aged 45 a well known farmer of the northwest part of Butler 
County, was found dead in his automobile at the garage on his farm, three miles 
east of Potwin, about 9 o'clock this morning.

inhaling fumes from the motor car. The body is at the Diemart home. No funeral 
arrangements have been made.

Mrs. Diemart told Mr. Turner that Mr. Diemart went to the garage about 8:30 
o'clock after the car to drive to Potwin on business. The deceased closed the 
garage door, preventing the gas fumes from escaping. Mrs. Diemart, after 
hearing the engine of the automobile running about a half an hour, went to the 
garage and found Mr. Diemart dead.
