ARTHUR BEHNKE

DEATH FOLLOWS SUDDEN ATTACK AT TWO RIVERS
Acute Indigestion and Apoplexy Cause of Death
Stricken suddenly while at Two Rivers last evening, Arthur E. Behnke,
well known young business man of this city, died two hours later after
having been brought to his home in this city. Mr. Behnke suffered an
attack of acute indigestion which affected his heart and caused a
hemorrhage which was fatal. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon
from the home 825 N. Ninth street and will be in charge of the Masonic
order.
Mr. Behnke, who was engaged in business as an optometrist conducting a
store on Washington street in this city, had recently established a
branch office at Two Rivers and was attending to business there when
the fatal attack came. Dr. Christiansen was summoned and after attending
Mr. Behnke, accompanied him to this city where he was taken to his home
and passed away in a short time.
News A Great Shock
News of the death of Mr. Behnke spread rapidly and was a great shock to
the community where he had made his home practically all of his life.
He had not been ill.
Mr. Behnke was a native of this city, having been born here June 19, 1882,
forty-two years ago. He attended the old South Side high school from
which he graduated and later took up a course in optical work at a Chicago
school. After completing his studies he was for some time associated with
the Tegtmeyer company at Milwaukee and nine years ago returned here to
engage in business and had been very successful.
Leaves Wife and Child
Five years ago Mr. Behnke was married to Marie Borcherdt, this city, who
with one daughter, Alice, and a brother, Charles Behnke of Oshkosh,
survive. Mr. Behnke was deeply interested in his profession and devoted
himself to his family and his business.
Mr. Behnke was a member of Manitowoc lodge F. & A.M. Chapter 16, Royal
Arch Masons and of the Eastern Star. His death will be deeply deplored
by many friends.
