Need translation
Hello,
Can someone translate this newspaper clipping about my great grandfather from August 1910. He died that month so I'm assuming it is an obituary?
Thank you!
Julie

Hello Julie,
Translation:
Succumbed to His Injuries.
Frank A. Diehl, 71 years old, of no. 103 West Clifton Avenue, succumbed yesterday at the German Deaconess Hospital to injuries received in a fall from the Mohawk Bridge Monday evening. The injured had been taken first to the city hospital and from there to the German Deaconess Hospital, where an operation was immediately performed on him in the hope of saving his life. Diehl had suffered severe head wounds and internal injuries in the fall.
Comment: Based on the clues provided in the record, did your great-grandfather live in Cincinnati, Ohio?
