The death of George Wilhelm came very suddenly on Friday morning, after a short illness and he left behind a multitude of friends to mourn his untimely demise.
Deceased was born in Hayton, Calumet County, September 15, 1870. He removed to this city with his parents about fifteen years ago. Previous to the time of his death, he was proprietor of a cigar factory on south Central Avenue. From a child, he was always subject to heart troubles and came nearly dying about two years ago. Less than two weeks ago he was taken sick but was not confined to his bed. He continued to fail in health until the time of his death which occurred on Friday morning. He was walking about the house at the time and had been talking to his brother Adam. He suddenly staggered and fell into his brother's arms dead. The funeral was held from St. John's Catholic Church on Monday morning, Rev. Fr. Eisen, officiating.
Mr. Wilhelm was a member of the cigar makers' union and during his residence here, through his kind ways and pleasant manner, made many friends who deeply regret his death.

It is a particularly sad thing when a young man or woman, just starting out on the voyage of life, is torn away from loving friends and relatives. Such a case was the sudden death, Friday of George Wilhelm, Jr. Born, December 15th, 1870, in Hayton, Calumet County, he removed here some 16years ago and succeeded in getting nicely started in business, having a small cigar factory in the south part of the city, when death claimed him. His illness extended over only the short space of a week, the difficulty seeming to be some affectation of the heart, his death occurring Friday morning August 28th at about 6:15. The funeral was held at 9 o'clock Monday morning from St. John's church and was very largely attended. He was the son of George Wilhelm, Sr., of this city and one of a family of three boys and four girls.
Mr. Wilhelm was a member of the Cigar Makers International Union No. 372. The following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Claud Russell, Tony Bever, Peter Bever, Frank Mettelka, Fritz Kohl, B. M. Woodward.
The family has the sympathy of the whole community in its great bereavement.
