TED WILLERT STRICKEN BY SUDDEN DEATH
Pioneer Restaurant Man Is Victim of Heart Attack
Theodore Willert, familiarly known as Teddy, pioneer restaurant man of the
city, having for years conducted a place on South Eighth street on the site of
what is to be the new Commerce block, died suddenly in the refreshment stand
which he conducted at 912 Washington street last night. Mr. Willert was stricken
while he was about to serve a patron with an order for a sandwich, death being
due to heart failure. The body was removed to the Urbanek and Wattawa parlors
and funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 from the parlors,
where the body may be viewed during the day and from 7 to 9 in the evening.
Born at Two Rivers.
Mr. Willert, who was 66 years of age and had spent his entire life here, was
born at Two Rivers, Feb. 15, 1859. He removed to this city as a boy and was
married here to Mary Ellen Halloran. He established a restaurant business which
he continued for many years and later was a cook on the lakes, returning here
about three years ago to open a refreshment stand which he operated at his
death.
He is survived by one stepbrother, Henry Willert, of Two Rivers, and a grandson,
Howard Ashby, son of his deceased daughter.
Mr. Willert made his home at 914 South Tenth street, but spent most of his time
at the refreshment booth on Washington street. The police took charge of the
booth and closed it. A sum of money was found in the till and on the person of
the dead man and is held pending administration of the estate. It is not known
that Mr. Willert left any considerable estate.
