C. A. SOLVESON SUCCUMBS AT THE AGE OF 73
Funeral Services For Retired Manufacturer To Be Held Saturday
Charles A. Solveson, 73, retired Manitowoc manufacturer, died last night at
the Holy Family hospital, where he has been a patient for six weeks.
He was stricken with coronary thrombosis at his home, 811 State street, while
reading a newspaper and was removed to the hospital. He failed to rally from
this attack.
Masonic Rites
Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. from the Frazer mortuary
chapel, the Rev. Ernst Zoerb of the First Lutheran church officiating. There
will be Masonic rites at the grave. Burial will be in Evergreen cemetery.
For 35 years Mr Solveson was associated with the Manitowoc Building Supply
company as an officer and stockholder, retiring in 1929.
Mr. Solveson was born in Chicago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Solveson.
When he was a child his parents came to this city for a few years and then
returned to Chicago. He attended the public schools in Chicago and was baptized
in Our Savior’s Lutheran church, one of the early day edifices in the Windy
City.
Mr. Solveson took a business course and became an office employe in the Dickson
and Peterson Lumber company in Chicago. He married Emilie Christenson in 1894.
Supervised Ship Work
In 1895 he located in this city and became associated with John Schroeder in
the Manitowoc Supply company, whose plant and offices were located at Fifth and
York streets. This firm specialized in cabin work on boats, and had many
contracts on the Goodrich company fleet, which wintered in Manitowoc.
Mr. Solveson was in charge of the office, and supervised the shop work. He was
an expert penman. His affiliation included membership in the Masonic order,
where he served several terms as secretary, and in the First Lutheran church,
which he joined in 1895.
Eleven years ago he retired from active business to live a retired life. Although
urged many times by residents of the city Mr. Solveson declined to become a
candidate for any public office.
