Col. H. W. Kuhtmann died at his home, near Walhalla, on Saturday, 9th instant, after a brief illness from pneumonia. He was in his seventieth year, having been born on the 20th day of May, 1822, at Bremen, Germany.
When a young man he came to this country and located at Charleston in 1841. He resided there several years, doing business as a cotton factor, and in 1846 married Miss Mary A. Smith, of that city. During a good portion of the time of his residence in Charleston he was the Consul of Austria.
Several years before the war he removed from Charleston to Walhalla and engaged in mining. For many years he was Superintendent of the Mount Ina Mining Company, which spent large sums of money mining and prospecting in these parts.
Col. Kuhtmann was a man of enterprising spirit and did not hesitate to invest his money in furtherance of his projects. Endowed by nature with a high order of intellect, he was a diligent student, and made considerable attainments in learning. As a mineralogist his knowledge was extensive, and he always took a deep interest in the search for precious metals.
In 1879 his wife died and left him two sons and three daughters surviving. He continued to live on his homestead near Walhalla.
No ordinary man has fallen in his death. His character was unique. Upright and honorable in all his dealings, his word was as good as his bond. He was a consistent member of the Lutheran Church.
On Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock his funeral services were conducted in the Lutheran Church by Rev. S. C. Zettner, and attended by a large number of friends, notwithstanding the extreme inclemency of the weather. His body was then laid to rest in the cemetery beside his wife.
