Alphonse was the youngest child of John Joseph and Mary Markus Feldhaus. On August 17, 1916, when he was just 16 yr. old, he suffered a severe head injury while working for Procter & Gamble. He sustained a skull fracture after falling while washing windows at Ivorydale. He was an invalid the rest of his life. He had severe brain damage and required constant care which his brother, Henry graciously performed for as long as he was able. Alphonse eventually required full time medical attention and was a patient at St. Francis Hospital for the Incurable in Cincinnati for 7 years prior to his death. His death certificate states his cause of death as, "traumatic epilepsy; fracture of skull" with the date of the occurrence as "8/17/16" and the place, "Procter & Gamble Soap Co. (Ivorydale)". The family was never adequately compensated for his injuries.
