noon. Mr.. liirzsl was 81 years of age and
died on Sunday.
He was machinist by trade and invent
ed number Of small machines, Including
bo!t cutter, dr II and meat chopper,
put like many other inventors failed to
realize anything from his work.
Mr. Hirzel was born In Ha;sfe,ten.
Wurtemburg, Germany. In 1914, and was
tho oldest German citizen In Wilmington,
AT the time Mr. Hirzel came ho.e good
machinists were rare. and ne filled posi-
lions at tho Harlan and Hollingsworth
anu later the Pussy and Jones works at
nattering salaries, In these positions his
inventive mind did not have full NAV.
ana so In 1856 he began business n, a
machinist' and blacksmith at No. 20f; East
second street. Hore he worked day and
night, always seeking something new. In
!oo6 ne secured his first patent, which wns
for an improved drilling machine, with
both fast aad slow motion. In 1855 he
invented meat chopper, and In 1874 se.
cured patent on bolt and wire cntter.
Ho refused an offer OF $40 900 and ROYALTY
on thla machine. In doing this he mads
the same mistake as numerous other in
