Man is Found Dead Lying in Roadway
Albert Bosshardt, a Former Resident of West Camp, Dies of Heart Attack in Catskill
Albert Bosshardt, an aged resident of Hamburgh, was found dead in the middle of the road about 150 feet north of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge approach at Catskill on Thursday morning. The body was found by Harold Gallt, who was driving along the road. The body was lying in the center of the thoroughfare and blood was streaming from the nose.
Mr. Gallt went to the Administration building at the bridge and a physician was summoned. Later William Delanoy came along and said the man was his father-in-law. The two men placed the body in a car and took it to the office of Dr. William V. Wax, who examined it and said the man had been dead for about a half hour.
Dr. Wax said that he could not say from a cursory examination what had caused the aged man's death. He notified Coroner Dr. Mahlon H. Atkinson. Dr. Atkinson said that death was probably due to heart disease.
Mr. Bosshardt was born in Switzerland 75 years ago and came to this country when a child. For many years he resided at West Camp where he was employed by Knaust Bros. in their mushroom plant. About six years ago he went to live at Hamburgh, where he was caretaker at the mushroom plant of Knaust Bros.
Surviving are five sons, William, Harry, Fred, Nelson and Harold Bosshardt; and six daughters, Grace, Gertrude, Ida, Edna, May and Mary Ida, who is the wife of William Delanoy, resides at Hamburgh.
