CHARLES KIRWAN
SON OF JUDGE KIRWAN DIES HERE SUNDAY
Attorney Charles Kirwan, Former Ladysmith Lawyer, Dies At Home of His Father
A lingering illness of 18 months during which time the best medical attention
available was secured, yesterday morning proved fatal to Attorney Charles Kirwan,
52, son of Judge Michael Kirwan and death occurred at the home of his father at
718 N. Eighth street. Attorney Kirwan had been at the home of his father and at
the Mayo Brothers Institute at Rochester, Minnesota, for the past 18 months after
illness forced him to retire from a lucrative law practice at Ladysmith.
Mr. Kirwan was born in Manitowoc in 1877 and after graduating from the north side
schools of the city in 1895 attended the state normal school at Oshkosh, graduating
from there in 1897. After teaching near Hurley for a year, he entered the University
of Wisconsin, spending one year in the general academic department and later
graduating with the law class of 1902, being a member of the last class of the
beloved dean, General Edwin E. Bryant.
Practiced Many Years
Admitted to practice in the circuit and supreme courts immediately following his
graduation, he entered the law office of W. H. Timlin, an outstanding practitioner
of the state at Milwaukee. He located at Milwaukee for two years, later moving to
Ladysmith where he practiced continuously until 18 months ago when failing health
forced him to give up his work. For four years he was district attorney of Rusk
county and served several terms as city attorney at Ladysmith.
He never married and in addition to his father he is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
Katherine Hogan, Miss Emma Kirwan and Mrs. S. T. Pratt, all of Manitowoc and one
brother, Dr. Edward J. Kirwan, Ludington, Michigan.
Sudden Death a Shock
Although it was generally known that Attorney Kirwan was suffering from a stomach
ailment from which there was little hope of recovery, the death yesterday came as
a decided shock to those who had known him for many years.
During his years of school and college training, he was an exemplary student, always
at or near the head of his class. A quiet, reserved type of student, he nevertheless
attracted to himself a large circle of close friends as evidenced by his being named
president of the law class of 1902 at the University of Wisconsin.
Funeral services are to be held from the Kirwan homestead on Tuesday afternoon and
interment will take place at Evergreen.

Atty. C. Voigt In Tribute To Late Charles Kirwan
A tribute to the late Charles Kirwan, who passed away here Sunday at the home of
his father, Judge Michael Kirwan, and was buried today, was given yesterday, by
Atty. Charles Voigt of Sheboygan, a classmate of the deceased when attending the
University of Wisconsin law School. Atty. Voigt said,
It was my fortune to be his classmate at the law school of the University of
Wisconsin during the years 1899-1902. He was always one of the leaders in his work.
He was modest and thorough; his abilities were solid and enduring, rather than
ostentatious or spectacular; his success was the result of labor rather than sudden
inspiration. He had a clear and analytical mind; he inherited and cultivated the
love of good literature and had a keen appreciation of the beautiful in art.
Many of us have lost a cherished friendthe bar has lost an accomplished lawyer
in his untimely death. He was stricken before his time had come and while many
years of usefulness might reasonably have been expected to still lie before him.
