Cornelius M. Madson died suddenly Saturday morning. His death was due to heart failure. He had been in poor health for some time.

He was born at Jerpen, this county and was 61 years of age. For twenty years, Mr. Madson was engaged in the farm machinery business in the city, under the firm name of Madsen and Anderson and in 1892 he became associated with the Madsen Seed Company which a cousin had established at Madsen, the company opening a warehouse and office in this city.

For many years, he was a director of the Manitowoc Building and Loan Association and took an active interest in its affairs. During his long business career, Mr. Madsen had become well known throughout the county and was regarded as one of the substantial and progressive men of the city. He was identified with the Elks and was a member of the United Commercial Travelers Association and up to the time that his health began to fail, was active in both organizations.
