DEATH OF FRED SCHWEITZER DUE NATURAL CAUSE
Last Seen by Neighbors Tuesday Afternoon
That Fred Schweitzer, whose body was found in the home on South
Tenth street yesterday afternoon shortly after 1 o'clock, came to
his death as a result of a stroke of apoplexy is the report of
Coroner W.G. Kemper, who said that there is no suspicion of foul
play or anything else in connection with the case and that no
inquest will be ordered. Schweitzer was last seen by the neighbors
some time Tuesday afternoon and it is believed that death occurred
late that afternoon or evening. Arrangements for the funeral had
not been completed today, but it will take place sometime Monday,
either during the morning or afternoon with the Rev. A.E.R.
Schreiber officiating. Burial will be at Evergreen.
Schweitzer was fifty years old and was born here. He had always
made his home here and had been engaged as a painter for the
Goodrich company and others, and lately had been employed by the
Burger Boat company. He is survived by three brothers, John of Have,
Edward and Erving of Milwaukee, and by four sisters, Mrs. William
Wagner of this city and Mrs. Edward Herzog, Mrs. August Mollinger
and Mrs. Joseph Simon, all of Milwaukee.
