SCHWEITZER FUNERAL TO BE HELD SUNDAY
The body of Mrs. Elizabeth Schweitzer, nee Strauch, widow of Henry Schweitzer,
whose death occurred at Milwaukee yesterday, will be brought here Friday and
funeral service will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the former home
at 1225 South Tenth street, the Rev. Schreiber officiating. Mrs. Schweitzer’s
death was due to infirmities of age, she being 74.
Mrs. Schweitzer was seventy-four years of age and was born in Germany. She was
but six months old when her parents came to America and settled in Manitowoc
County. She was married in 1868 to Henry Schweitzer who for many years was
employed as a printer on the force of “Der Nordwesten,” a German weekly which
was one of the oldest publications in the city. Later he gave up his trade to
conduct the cigar business of a son. Mr. Schweitzer died ten years ago and for
a number of years the widow continued to live at the old home. Three years ago
she took up her residence with her daughter at Milwaukee.
Eight children survive. They are Mrs. Edward Herzog, Mrs. August Molinger, Mrs.
Joseph Simon, Edward and Ervin, all of Milwaukee, John of Haven, Mrs. William
Wagner and Fred of this city. Twenty-one grandchildren and six great grand-
children also survive.
