Adam Doerr, a widely-known mill worker of Braddock, died last Thursday afternoon at his home in that place. The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Doerr of Hamilton avenue, this place and formerly resided here, where he had many friends. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph’s church, Braddock, and the remains were laid to rest in St. Joseph’s cemetery, this place.
Mr. Doerr’s death was due to paralysis, from which he had suffered only a short time. Three weeks ago he had cut his hand and on Monday of last week the injury became so painful that he laid off work. Monday night he suffered a stroke of paralysis, but it could not be determined whether or not the cut had any direct bearing upon his death.
Mr. Doerr was born in Germany 37 years ago and was prominent among the German residents of Braddock. He had worked at the Edgar Thompson steel works for years and at the time of his death, was a heater. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was a man of good habits and a clean life. He was a member of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic church, and of Bessemer tent No. 92, Knights of the Maccabees. He is survived by his widow and two children, Arthur and Olive. He was a man of large physicial [sic] proportions and great strength. (Duquesne Observer, Feb 3, 1905, p 2, c 2)
