GEO. STUHLFAUTH
PASSES AWAY
DEATH DUE TO APOPLEXY
AND OCCURRED
SUDDENLY

The announcement of the death of
George Stuhlfauth Sunday morning
was a great shock to this communi-
ty, not only because it took from our
midst prominent figure in business
and social affairs, but also because it
came without a moments warning.
Mr.. Stuhlfauth had been about the city
attending to business affairs as usual
ON Saturday and on the afternoon of
that day ACTED in the capacity of a
pail bearer at the funeral of Mrs. Otto
Schochow. Nothing had transpired
which indicated that he was not in his
usual good health.
Death Immediate
Mr.. Stuhlfauth, however. had not
been in robust health for several years
but no one felt that his condition was
cause for any alarm. 1t was during
the night that Mrs. Stuhlfauth heard
unusually heavy breathing and at once
arose, finding, to her CONSERVATION,
that her husband had passed away.
She aroused the family and summoned
a physician who pronounced the imme-
date death due to apoplexy. Death
occurred at one o'clock Sunday morn
ing, October 31st, 1921.
From the day of the arrival of Mr..
Stuhlfauth in Wausau, forty-three
years ago, he became and was recog-
nized as a most exemplary and useful
citizen. With his powers of observa-
ton. unerring Judgment, he was emf
nently qualified and equipped by ma
ture to fill that position and to make
a success of life. Z.
Mr.. Stuhlfauth was friend in trou-
bic and ge nial companion at all
times In public affairs he was pro-
gressiye and wide awake, standing
high also with those who had dealings
with him, because, of his personal in
ltegrity and straightforward, honest
principles. In any trust reposed in

confidence of all In this way he gained
very large circle of friends who
mourn his death.
