Other Victims are Paul Hoefner and Herman Wernecke
Influenza and pneumonia are claiming a heavy toll in death in Manitowoc, four of
six deaths reported today being chargeable to the epidemic, which, despite every
effort of the health authorities, appears to be spreading and may force stringent
regulations for isolation for protection of the public. The death toll today:
*******
Paul Hoefner(sic), 21, died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Hoefner, 926 South Fifteenth street, this morning after a brief illness. He had
returned home Monday complaining of illness and suffered an attack of quinsy
which was primarly responsible for his death. The funeral will be held Monday
from the Lutheran church, the Rev. Machmiller officiating.
Mr. Hoeffner was born September 23, 1893, and at the time of his death was employed
with the Wernecke & Schmitz Hdw. Co. He is an only son, a member of the Lutheran
Mens' Club and of the mixed choir of the church and took a prominent part in the
congregation. Besides his parents one sister, Margaret, survives. The death of Mr.
Hoefner is a great shock to a large circle of friends.
