H. D. Lewer Is Called
Death came suddenly to Henry D. Lewer, a well known resident of this community, on Friday last. He had been engaged in hauling gravel for road construction and spent part of Friday forenoon making adjustments on his truck at the Lewer garage, then drove home, got his dinner pail and drove back up town but stopped at the garage to use the phone before starting for the gravel pit. While using the phone he dropped the receiver, walked a few steps and fell to the floor unconscious.
A doctor was called, and he was re moved to his home, having recovered consciousness in the meantime. A few minutes later he complained of a severe headache and asked his wife to call the doctor again. She did so and then assisted him to bed. He was unconscious when the doctor arrived at 11:30 a. m. and remained so until he passed away at 10:40 that night. Death was due to apoplexy.
H. D. Lewer was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Lewer, and was born on the farm home in Woodville township on Oct. 28, 1883, and grew to manhood there. His marriage to Helen Plath of Iosco took place on May 7, 1908, and they went to live on his own farm, which he operated successfully for 12 years. Five years ago he moved to this city and erected the White Eagle filling station, which he managed until about a year ago when he leased it to Roy Grant, later selling him the property. Since disposing of the station he has spent most of his time operating a gravel truck. His health had been failing for the last two years and suffered sinking spells several times, so that his death was not entirely unexpected. He was a very likeable man and his cheerful disposition and kindly personality made him a host of friends who will sincerely mourn his untimely death.
Surviving deceased are his widow and one son, Lawrence aged 8; also his parents and three brothers, Martin Lewer of Woodville, John and Ewald of this city, who have the sympathy of numerous friends in their bereavement.
The funeral took place Monday afternoon with services at the home and at St. John's Lutheran church, Rev. George H. Vollmer, the pastor, officiating. The funeral was very largely attended, among those present, being members of the Elks Lodge, to which deceased belonged. The burial was in Woodville cemetery.
