NORTH TONAWANDA. Jan 26
William A. Werth, 57, of 395
Wheatfield street, died suddenly in
the garage at the rear of his home
this morning as he was preparing to
depart for the plant of the Buf-
falo Bolt company, where he was
employed for the last 34 years.
Mr. Werth was subject to heart
attacks. When he did not appear
with his car after some time, Mrs.
Werth went to the garage and
found her husband on the floor. Dr.
J. A. O'Connor was called and pro-
nounced Mr. Werth dead. The hood
of the car was up. It is believed
that over-exertion in trying to start
the car resulted in the attack.
Mr. Werth was born in the town
of Wheatfield. He had lived in this
locality all his life. He was a mem-
ber of St. Matthew's Lutheran
church and the Men's club.
He leaves his wife, Mrs. Amalia
Werth; two daughters, mrs. John
Marzolf and Mrs. Allen Oswald;
two grandchildren, Beverly and
Sharon Marzolf, and three sisters,
Mrs. William C. Goerss, Mrs. Louisa
Sprange and Miss Mary Werth, all
of this city.
Rites will be held sunday after-
noon at 2:30 o'clock at the home
with the Rev. Carl Frankenstein
officiating. Interment will be in St.
Matthew's cemetery.
