DEATH COMES TO A. WILKE(sic) EARLY TODAY
Albert C. Wilke(sic), well known West Side resident, died suddenly at his home,
726 So. Twenty-third street, early this morning, the end coming with little
warning of its approach. Mr. Wilke had been in ill health for months, but his
condition last night appeared to be no more serious but early this morning he
suffered collapse and died in a few minutes. Funeral services will take place
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family home, the Rev. Menke
officiating.
Mr. Wilke is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Amanda Meeks of Milwaukee,
Mrs. Elsie Ross and Elmer, the latter of Madison.
Mr. Wilke had for many years been employed with the Boiler Works and was identified
with the concern when W.J. Hess conducted it and had visited many countries in his
work for the plant, at one time erecting digestors in Russia. He was a member of
the Royal League and the Equitable Fraternal Union and had taken an active part in
the affairs of the two orders.

a single marker was removed.]
