THEO. D. BUHL DROPS DEAD.
Detroit Hardware Man and Banker Stricken While Out Walking.
Theodore D. Buhl, a prominent manufacturer and capitalist of Detroit, dropped dead shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon in front of the Astor National Bank in West Thirty-fourth Street, adjoining the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, at which Mr. Buhl was a guest. Several physicians who examined the body gave the cause of death as apoplexy, a diagnosis afterward confirmed by the Coroner. Mr. Buhl, with his wife and granddaughter and his brother-in-law, F. H. Walker, and the latter's wife, arrived on Saturday night from Boston, where he had chartered a steam yacht for a long cruise. The Buhls went to the Waldorf and the Walkers to the Holland House. Mr. Buhl was in apparent good health during the day, and after taking luncheon with his family at the hotel started out for a walk about 3 o'clock. He had hardly gone 100 paces when he fell dead. The body was taken into the hotel and Mr. Walker was summoned from the Grand Central Station, where he was about to take a train for the West. He took charge of his brother-in-law's body, which was prepared for burial and sent to Detroit on a late train last night. Mrs. Buhl was prostrated. Mr. Buhl was president of the Buhl Malleable Iron Works of Detroit, president of the Detroit National Bank, and also of Parke, Davis & Co., drug manufacturers.
