He had been troubled previously by a heart condition, according to his son, and Monday morning his fellow workers on a city crew said he had complained of having trouble keeping his feet and legs warm. He collapsed in front of the Congress alleys, where he was loading snow on city trucks and was carried inside.
A doctor and the fire department pulmotor squad came immediately and worked over him for more than a half hour when Dr. H.D. Grofa (sp?) finally pronounced him dead. The doctor had said immediately that he thought there was little chance of reviving Mr. Glass.
Mr. Glass was born at Clark's Lake Oct. 17, 1883, a son of David and Rose Bochek Glass. He has lived in Door County all his life, spending 18 years at Whitefish Bay and 47 years in this city. He worked in the Scofield store for 10 years, fished for the late Albert Kalmbach for 15 years and the Allie Bros. for six years. He has been employed by the street department for the last five years. He was a member of the Catholic Foresters and the Holy Name Society.
Mr. Glass and Lillian Long were married here in 1910. She and their two children, Donald and Rosemary of this city, survive. Other survivors are two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Merril of Maywood, IL, and Mrs. Laura Martin of Valley City, ND., and three brothers, Daniel of Naperville, IL, William of Marion, ND, and John of Chicago.
Mrs Martin, Mrs. Merril, and Dan Glass came to attend the funeral held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Joseph's Church with the Rev. A.J. Koeferl officiating.
Pall bearers were Wilmer and Lester Long, Charles Lau, Clifford Augsburger, Donald Simon, and Harry Londo. Hahn's Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements, and interment was in St. Joseph's Cemetery.
