EDWARD WIRTZ DIES IN SLEEP AT APPLETON
Body of Local Man Found in Bed as He Fails to Report For Work Today
Stricken while asleep in the residence at Appleton where he roomed while
employed as foreman of the Northern Boiler Works of that city, Edward M.
Wirtz, well known local resident who for the past 12 years has been
employed at Appleton but continued to make his residence here, was found
dead in bed this morning after efforts to arouse him led to his room being
entered.
The death of Mr. Wirtz, coming as it did when he was apparently enjoying
his usual robust health, was received by members of his family shortly
after it was discovered and the members of the family left immediately for
Appleton. Mrs. Wirtz, overcome by the shock of the unexpected death, was
unable to make the trip.

of friends. He was active in the affairs of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
