This community was shocked last Thursday morning when news circulated of the death of Gerhard H. Schwarz of this city. He was found dead early that morning under a car he had been repairing in his garage. The vehicle was on blocks and Mr. Schwartz was working under it on a creeper.

On March 1, 1930, he was married to Miss Virginia Voland of this city. For several years he worked as mechanic in local garages, and for the past 10 years has been employed at the Kiel Bottling Works, taking care of the fleet of trucks, and also as a driver of a semi-trailer.
Survivors include his wife; a daughter,Faye, and a son, Gary, both at home; his father, in the town of Meeme; five brothers, Arthur of Sheboygan, Oliver and Roland of Howards Grove, Lester of Meeme, and Allen of here; two sisters, Mrs. Willard (Flora) Herzog of Sheboygan and Mrs. Harvey (Lorena) Wagner of Howards Grove. His mother and one daughter preceded him in death.
