"WELL-KNOWN MAN DIES .....

Theodore G. Uhlhorn, aged sixty seven, cashier of the local United States Subtreasury, a Confederate veteran, and for many years prominent in local affairs, died yesterday morning at his home, 1129 Soniat street, of heart failure.

Mr. Uhlhorn had been complaining of pains about the heart for several days but had not considered the trouble serious. Yesterday morning he telephoned to the Subtreasury that he was feeling too ill to go to the office, and suddenly dropped to the floor and expired.

Mr. Uhlhorn was one of the oldest Federal employees in the local service, having been appointed paying teller of the Subtreasury in the early part of President Cleveland's first administration. Twelve years ago he succeeded the late Major H.M. Isaacson as cashier of the Subtreasury, which position he had held ever since. Prior to his connection with Federal service, for several years he was chief clerk in the City Comptroller's office.

Mr. Uhlhorn was born in New Haven, Conn., and came to his city when a child. He was educated in local schools and when the civil war broke out, he enlisted with the Louisiana Guard Artillery, which became a part of Jackson's Corps, Army of Northern Virginia. He served with distinction during the war and was wounded twice, but recovered from his wounds and served to the end of the struggle. When peace was declared, he took up the study of law, but discontinued this in order to engage in business.

Thirty years ago Mr. Uhlhorn married Miss Lulu E. Fluker, a sister of Calhoun Fluker, N.O. deputy collector of customs. His wife, a son, Theodore G. Uhlhorn, Jr., a resident of Ellisville, Miss., three daughters, Misses Jewell, Belle and Louise Uhlhorn, a brother Charles Uhlhorn, and two sisters, Mrs. B.M. Harrod and Mrs. Pickens, survive him. Mr. Uhlhorn was a cousin of William H. Hunt, Secretary of the Navy in the Cabinet of President Garfield, and a nephew of Carleton Hunt. Mr. Uhlhorn was considered an able accountant and enjoyed the confidence of the treasury officials under whom he served, to the fullest extent. He was popular with his fellow-workers. Mr. Uhlhorn was a member of the Chess, Checkers and Whist Club and of the Army of Northern Virginia.

The funeral will be held this morning from the residence, 1129 Soniat street, at 10 o'clock. Rev. A. Gordon Bakewell will officiate. Interment will be in Metairie Cemetery.

The pallbearers will be John A. Wogan, United States Assistant Treasurer; Clarence S. Herbert, collector of the port; L.J. Doize, H. Kopman, Percy Campbell and Frank Von Phul."
