o'clock. Death came suddenly as he
was preparing to retire for the night
Friday evening. He had not unt.
dressed but was found on the bed in "a
sitting position. Mr.. Schwartz hac
not complained about his health
which, apparently, was unusually good
tie rellshed his supper as usual, re:
tlrlng to his room shortly after o'clock
FRIDAY evening. Mr.. Peters, daughter
Mrs. Augusta Kolb, who is keeping
house for her widowed father, found
her uncle's Gfeless body on the bed
Saturday morning, when she entered
his room to build a fire in the stove,
as had been her custom every morning.
Heart failure was the cause of his
demise.
Deceased was born in Brandenburg,
Prussia, Germany, January 8, 1886,
and was, therefore, a little past IS
years of age at the time of his death.
When lad of II years he suffered the
loss of his right arm, between the elbow
and shoulder, in woolen mill in his
native land, where he was employed at
the time. In spite of this serious
handicap, he always looked upon the
bright side of life and devoted his
endeavors to earning livlihood at
such work that he could do with one
hand. In the course of time he be-
came an adept in wood carving, exc
cutting difficult work that would test
the patience and ingenuity of a person
possessing both hands.
Mr. Schwartz had varied career,
full of thrilling and unpleasant ex-
periences. He lost his father early in
life, and at one time, while employed
as keeper of a game preserve in Ger
many, was shot in the leg by welathy
poacher because he refused to permit
the man to kill game illegally. The
wound was of such dangerous nature
that Mr.. Schwartz almost bled to
death, before he was able to reach a
house, being compelled to crawl con-
siderable distance, as he could not use
the injured limb.
Deceased came to America in 1884
and after spending few years at the
home of sister at Lowell, Wis, To-
Gated in New Ulm, which city had
since been his home. He was never
married and kept house for himself
until four years ago, when he secured
a room in the home of his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Peters.
Following brief obsequies at Bueng-
er's undertaking parlors, the remains
were laid to rest in the lutheran ce-
metery, yesterday afternoon
