CARL ALLWARDT (d. 1930)
DIES TODAY WHILE SPADING IN HIS GARDEN
Charles Allwardt, 91 Veteran Northwestern Employee Is Stricken Suddenly
Suffering a heart attack as he toiled with a spade in the garden at the rear
of the home, 1225 South Ninth street, shortly before ten o'clock this morning,
Charles Allwardt, 91, veteran Northwestern employee, now retired on a pension,
died suddenly before he could be removed to the home and physicians summoned.
His plight was discovered by Mrs. William Rathsack residing through the block,
who noticed Mr. Allwardt toppel over while he was engaged in preparing the
garden for spring planting.
Mr. Allwardt had arisen as usual this morning and remarked that he felt very
spry. After breakfast he decided that he would do some outside work in the
garden which had been delayed by the long rainy spell. His sudden death
followed a few minutes later.
Came Here 61 Years Ago
The deceased was born in Germany 91 years ago and he came to America when 30
years of age. He settled in this city and was married here the next year to
Caroline Miller, who passed away in August 1938. He entered the employ of the
railroad here as a car repairer which position he continued to fill for 34
years when he retired on a pension. Since he retired he has been making his
home with his son, John on South Ninth street. Three sons, John of the city
and Charles and George of Green Bay and three grand children survive.
Funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon at 1:30 from the home at
1225 South Ninth street and at two o'clock from the German Lutheran church.
