From Der Nord Westen, 20 Oct. 1904:
Last Fri. Mr. W. Ehrhardt, the well-known cigar manufacturer,
received a telegram advising him that Professor Otto Weinschenk
had died suddenly from apoplexy. The deceased, a son of the
famous cornetist Eduard Weinschenk who died several years ago,
and who was himself a cornetist of considerable talent, came
as a child many years ago with his parents from New York to
Two Rivers. The family later settled in Manitowoc. He worked
in several musical organizations here, was a music teacher,
and organized many music clubs in Manitowoc and surrounding
area. He left Manitowoc on 05 Sep. for Denver, Colorado, to
visit his daughter. Mrs. Weinschenk, whom he had married a
year before, remained behind. In Denver he joined a traveling
vaudeville show and died as it reached Salt Lake City, Utah.
In keeping with his wish that he be buried alongside his father,
the body will be brought here for interment in the city cemetery.
In addition to his widow, he leaves 2 daughters from his first
marriage, his mother who recently moved to Milwaukee from here,
and 2 sisters. He was 47.
