William Carl August Worth was found dead in his barn on Superior street about 11:30 Monday Forenoon by his wife, having died of heart failure, aged 69 years.

He had not been well since he suffered from corpuscle condition but seemed to feel rather better then usual Monday, although his wife thought he acted somewhat queer. His family had been warned by his physician that he might go suddenly at anytime and were keeping a close watch on him and a few moments after he walked out to the barn his wife followed to look for him and found him dead, sitting up beside a feed box. It is thought that he might have felt faint and attempted to sit down on the box but dropped to the floor beside it. Friends were called who assisted getting him into the house and Dr. Armstrong was summoned but nothing could be done for him as he was dead when found.

Deceased was born in the province of Pommern, Germany, April 9, 1839 and came to this city, June 19, 1883. October 28, 1865 he was married to Miss Minnie Pry, in Pomerania. He was a veteran of several German wars, having served in the Danish war in 1866, and the Franco-Prussian war in 1870-1871 and member of the Krieger Versin and Lutheran Synod Bennett Association, each of which bodies will attend the funeral party.

Mr. Worth is survived by his wife, six sons, William of Marshfield, Ernst of Underhill, Gustav of Lord’s Valley, Pa., and Charles, Paul and Louis of Oconto and two daughters, Mrs. William Pahl and Miss Minnie, Oconto, all of whom will be present at the funeral, which will be held from the German Lutheran Church at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. H. Elsenbach officiating, with interment in Evergreen cemetery.
