friends. Mr. Aholtz had not been feeling well for a day or two but went to work as usual early Friday morning. After working an hour or two he became too ill to work and had to
go home, and shortly afterwards he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which caused his death. Mr. Aholtz had been with the C. E. Ward commission house ever since it was started, and before that was with Berry Hunter in the commission business. He had been engaged in that line of business ever since he was fifteen years old. He was born In Decatur, Dec. 11, 1870. He was a member of the M. W.
A. and the Moose lodges and was very popular with his friends. He leaves his wife, Etna, one daughter, Mrs.
Freta Blakeney, one sister, Mrs. Clara Florey; and an aunt, Mrs. Mary Mills. The body was removed to Moran's,
and will be taken Friday evening to the home. Funeral arrangements are not yet made.
