Son of Henry Walrath and Stella (Huntley) Walrath
Well Known and Estimable Young Man Succumbs to the Inroads of Tuberculosis.
___
After many hours in which a bright star of hope shone for Forest
Elvin Walrath and his family and countless friends, death suddenly descended and
claimed the young life, in its richness of promise of the highest and best
achievements. Death occurred at 3:20 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and was caused
by tuberculosis.
Mr. Walrath was brought to his home here from Cleveland, where he was
employed, fourteen weeks ago, and almost immediately he took to his bed. He
failed rapidly. A week ago last Thursday Dr. Otto Stutz came to the city and
inoculated the sufferer with his serum for the cure of tuberculosis. Later, at
several times, Mr. Walrath seemed to be improving. Sunday morning he appeared
to be feeling the best he had since he became ill, and family and friends
allowed themselves to hope. The end came suddenly in mid-afternoon.
Forest Walrath was born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Walrath November 21,
1891, in the same home, on the corner of Wright's avenue and Monroe street,
where he died. He finished his public schooling with the class which was
graduated from Conneaut High in 1909, and shortly thereafter went to Cleveland
to work. He was employed as an architectural intern for the C. H. Schweinfurth
firm. He was a young man of honor, a bright character, unswerving in attitude
to do right.
A particularly sad feature in connection with Mr. Walrath's death is the
fact that his marriage to Miss Blance Kinner was to take place this summer.
The funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at the
Congregational church with Rev. Rankin of that church and Rev. Kreager of the
Baptist church officiating. Interment will be made in Glenwood cemetery.
