Schietinger, Carl Gottlieb

Carl Schietinger Dies After Stroke

A heart attack that occurred as he attended Sunday morning church services became fatal at 4:30 this (Thursday) morning for Carl G. Schietinger, prominent Weimar businessman for 36 years.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at 4:30 at the Evangelical & Reformed Church here, with his pastor, Rev. C. Emigholz, officiating, and Rev. Walter J. Cartwright, Methodist pastor, assisting. Interment will follow in the Weimar Masonic Cemetery. Hubbard Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
Stricken just as the 11 o'clock service was beginning at the Methodist Church, he was rushed to Youens Hospital, where shortly after his arrival he lapsed into a coma from which he never awakened. He had been in ill health the past several years and had suffered one previous mild stroke, but he remained actively in control of the Sanitary Hatcher, a business for which was known over most to Texas.

Native of Africa

Born in Keta, West Africa, Feb 28, 1884, he was the son of missionary parents. He attended school in Stuttgart, Germany, and when he was 21 came to America to study for the ministry, in Eden Seminary at St. Louis. In his first year, however, his doctor advised him to go West to improve his health, and that brought him to Comfort, the little German-settled community in the Kerrville hill country. It was there he met and married Miss Margaret Albreicht in 1905.

Came Here in 1917

Coming to Weinar in 1917, he worked for the Boettcher company and five years later opened the Sanitary Hatchery. Expanding rapidly, the business at one time had nine branches in surrounding towns. An active and generous supporter of every worthwhile community project here, Mr. Schietinger was a charter member of the Weimar Rotary Club, from which he had resigned in recent years in deference to his health, and a faithful member of the E&R Church.
Mr. Schietinger is survived by his wife, Mrs. Margaret Schietinger of Weimar; two sons, Harold of Bay City and Egbert of Montgomery, Ala.; and four grandchildren.
