HERMAN WILKE (d. 1939)
Herman Wilke, 63, of 2709 Clark street, veteran Manitowoc mason
contractor, died of a heart stroke late yesterday while riding
in the cab of a truck driven by his son, Ervin, a mile outside
the city of Algoma.
The elder Wilke had accompanied his son to Algoma to pick up a
load of potatoes and had not complained of feeling ill. Shortly
after starting back to the city the son noticed his father’s
head droop forward. He turned the truck about and returned to a
tavern a mile back where a physician was called. He pronounced
Mr. Wilke dead.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Pfeffer
funeral home, the Rev. L. H. Koeninger of the First German
Evangelical Lutheran Church officiating. Burial will be in
Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Wilke was born at Manitowoc Rapids in 1875 and when a young
man learned the mason trade. For more than 40 years he engaged
in the mason contracting business in Manitowoc. He married Miss
Amanda Rosenau of this city.
Survivors are the widow; son Ervin, city; daughter, Mrs. Bernard
Schladweiler, city; five brothers, August, Richard, Fred, all of
Sturgeon Bay, Henry, Algoma, Emil, Forestville; three sisters, Mrs.
Alvina Hoffman, Forestville, Mrs. Ida Krueger, Sawyer, Mrs. Laura
Leroy, Sturgeon Bay; and one grandchild.
The body may be viewed at the Pfeffer funeral home from this evening
until the hour of services.
