CARL WILLMAN STRICKEN TODAY

 

Carl Willman, 75, a resident of Niles since 1903, died this morning at 2:40 in Pawating hospital after an illness of nine months. He lived with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Skalla, 333 North Lincoln avenue.

A native of Schonow, Germany, where he was born Oct. 22, 1867, he and the late Mrs. Willmann operated a meat market in Germany for 23 years before coming to this country.

After moving from Chicago to Niles, Willmann was employed 25 years in the George Forler market.

His only survivors are the daughter and a granddaughter, Elizabeth Skalla.

Friends may call in the Price and Kiger funeral home where the service will be conducted  Saturday afternoon at 2. The Rev. Theo Eisen, pastor of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church, will officiate with burial in Silverbrook cemetery.

Note: It appears that the name is variably spelled Willman/Willmann as it is found both ways not only in this obituary but in other records.
