  24 September 1940 Evening News of the Tonawandas Town Assessor Succumbs to Heart Attack While Cutting Corn as Fodder for Cow August Ziem, 71, of Wheatfield Found Dead by Members of His Family Who Became Alarmed at Prolonged Stay in Field and Conducted Investigation August Ziem, 71, of the Niagara road and Hunt street, Bergholtz, died of a heart attack while cutting corn in a field on the farm of his son-in-law, George Martin, on the Ward road, half a mile south of the Niagara Falls boulevard, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ziem went to the Martin farm early in the afternoon to cut corn as fodder for his cow. His prolonged stay in the field alarmed his family and, upon investigation, they found him dead in the field, about a quarter of a mile from the Martin home. Coroner J. E. Helwig issued a certificate of death due to a heart attack. Mr. Ziem was a well known resident and a leading Republican of the town of Wheatfield. He was serving his ninth year as an assessor. Born in Germany, Mr. Ziem was brought to America by his parents at the age of nine months. He made his home in Michigan until removing to the town of Wheatfield 25 years ago. He is survived by a wife, Anna; three daughters, the Misses Esther and Ariel Ziem at home and Mrs. Martin; two sons, Grover and William of Bergholtz; six grandchildren and a sister, Mrs. Mary Ziegler of Caro, MI. Rites will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence and at 2:30 from the St. James church. Rev. Otto Bruss will officiate and burial will be in St. James cemetery.
