"LIFELESS BODY OF A. BUGS IS FOUND TODAY -- Long Illness Ends in Death For
Resident Who Came From Germany Five Years Ago
"An illness of several years' duration and which caused him to give up his
occupation as a fireman about four weeks ago, was believed responsible for the
death of Alfred Bugs, 56 year old resident of the city. The man's lifeless body
was found in the chicken-coop of the rear of his son's home at 1322 S. Fifteenth
street where the man made his home.
"Discovery of the death was made by a son, Eric, when he went to look for his
father shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. Police and the corner were
notified but nothing could be done for him as life was already extinct. At the
request of the family, the body was taken to the Vogelsang funeral home at
Eighth and Marshall streets.
"Born in Germany (October 1874), Bugs came to this country about five years ago
and has been a resident of this city since that time. Fellow employes at the
Hamilton Flowers, Inc., where he gave up his work several weeks ago spoke
feelingly of the kindliness of the man when informed of his demise. In addition
to his invalid widow, he is survived by four children, Eric and Mrs. William
Schuchnect of Manitowoc, Mrs. Otto Nowak of Sheboygan and Mrs. Hans Kummerfeld,
Two Rivers. Funeral arrangements have not been made."
