Collapsed
While Dressing for Breakfast Monday Morning
Death came with
startling suddenness Monday morning to Albert Wolfe, who lived at 162
Norfolk street south.
Mr. Wolfe had
just risen from bed and had been speaking with his wife, who brought
him fresh clothes, when he suddenly collapsed, and in a very short
time the vital spark had fled.
The late Mr.
Wolfe was in his 74th year, and had been in Canada since 1855, coming
here from Germany, where he was born.
For a great
number of years he farmed in Windham, and for the last twelve years
has worked with Mr. Curtis as a shoe workman. He was a steady,
conscientious and very expert workman, and had been at his bench as
usual on Saturday.
The deceased was
married a second time, the survivors of his first marriage being Mrs.
Michael O'Brien, Windham Centre;
Mrs. Seigerman, Otterville; and Frank Wolfe of Windham.
His second wife
and the following step-children also survive:
Mrs. Cameron McBride, Grand Rapids, Mich.;
Mrs. McNamara, Simcoe; Mrs. Wm. H. Sharpe, Saskatchewan;
and Bruce Steinhoff, Simcoe.
The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon at three o'clock from his late residence,
162 Norfolk street south, to Oakwood Cemetery.
