FORMER RESIDENT OF CITY DEAD
Carlstadt’s Chief of Police, H. P. Bellesheim, Victim of Gangrene
Henry P. Bellesheim, chief of the Carlstadt, N. J. police department, died at 11:40 Wednesday night at the age of 59 years. His death is attributed to a complication of diabetes and gangrene. The deceased was a former Mount Vernonite.
He died at the Hackensack, N. J. hospital, to which he was removed on Wednesday of last week to undergo an amputation of the last toe on his left foot. This operation, it was believed, would suffice to prevent the general poisoning of his system. However, his conditions grew worse. Further amputations were deemed useless. The recovery of the chief from the attack of blood poisoning was hampered by diabetes, from which he has suffered many years.
The chief was a member of the International Association of Police Chiefs, the Policemen’s Benevolent Association of Bergen county, the Boneheads (a South Bergen club), the Young Men’s Democratic association of Carlstadt, the Men’s club of the Carlstadt Evangelical church, and the Carlstadt Boat club. He was a prominent member of the Rutherford Lodge of Elks, and Passaic Tribe, No. 74, of the Red Men. It is expected that these lodges and societies will be represented at his funeral which will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Carlstadt, N. J. Turn Verein, of which he was a director.
Rev. Ferdinand Kohler will conduct the funeral services, after which the interment will take place in the Carlstadt cemetery, in the plot of his widow.
Chief Bellesheim is survived by two brothers, Joseph Bellesheim and Julius Bellesheim, both of Mount Vernon, a sister Miss Heppey Bellesheim, of New York city, his widow, Mrs. Anna Hess Bellesheim, and a step-son August J. Boetcher.
The chief was born in New York City on March 17, 1866. He was married to Miss Anna Hess in 1903. His appointment to the position of chief came in 1912 at the institution of a police department in Carlstadt.
Mayor George Kinter, upon being informed of the chief’s death, said:
“He always did his duty as he saw it. In all my years as mayor of Carlstadt, I have never heard a complaint against the chief.”
The chief has served Carlstadt, N. J. for almost fourteen years and has an enviable record for the keeping of law and order in the community. Out of respect for the chief, the flags of town will be at half staff on Sunday when the procession goes to the Carlstadt cemetery.
The deceased lived in Mount Vernon for many years prior to going to Carlstadt, N. J. in 1912. He was a son of the late Judge and Mrs. Joseph Bellesheim of this city.
