Death Due to Earthquake

Otto A. Hirsch, the son of two of
Norfolk's oldest and most respected
residents, Mr.. and Mrs. p. o. Hirsch,
died at o'clock last evening at the
home of his sister, Mrs Harry Lodor,
where for more than three months
past he has had the loving. nursing
care of anxious relatives. When Otto
Hirsch came back to his old home last
March from San Francisco, he came
suffering from fatal illness to die
among his relatives.
Death was due to a cancer of the
stomach. His illness dates back to
the San Francisco earthquake. In the
dread days that followed that disaster
Otto Hirsch fell a victim to the ex-
posture and over eXertion that the top
sy turvey city offered to all willing
workers who stayed near the ruins of
the Pacific coast metropolis. Arriv-
ing in Norfolk last March the sick
man was taken to the home of his
sister, Mrs Harry Lodor.
Otto Hirsch came to Norfolk with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs p. o. Hirsch,
in 1883. He had been born in Phila.
delphia and was forty-three years old
at the time of his death He spent
six or seven years here, practicing his
trade as a barber and conducting a
shop in the city. In more recent years
he had lived in Kansas City and Cali
fornia.
He was married in Norfolk twenty
two years ago to Miss Laura Ludwic.
The wife and the twelve-year-old son
were at the bedside. Two daughters,
Ruby and Mable, are in Kansas City.
His parents have lived for many years
in Norfolk, Mrs. Hirsch being at the
present time in rather feeble health.
The following brothers and sisters sur
vive: Frank Hirsch of Norfolk, Harry
Hirsch of Sioux City, viii Hirsch of
Harrington, Louis Hirsch of San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Harry Lodor of Norfolk
and Mrs. James S. Lee of New York
City.
The sad news of death was tele-
graphed last evening to relatives and
to Harry Lodor, who was absent on
the road at the time. Louis Hirsch
has been with his brother for the great
er part of the past month, leaving only
last week for his home in San Fran
cisco. 90. 10 e'.l
81. The funeral win probably be held
Wednesday from the Lodor home on
