Frank Freeman, 47, for many years a resident of Bemidji, residing at 1101 Mississippi avenue, died suddenly Sunday afternoon as a result of heart failure. He was walking to his home from the business district and had reached Sixth Street and Minnesota avenue when he staggered and fell into the arms of John Peterson. Mr. Freeman was carried to a room in the Home Laundry building and died a few minutes later. Death has visited the Freeman family three times during the past several months.
