Wilhelm, William A. (20 JUN 1875 - 11 APR 1962)

W.A. Wilhelm, 86, retired farmer and insurance salesman for the Lynn Mutual Insurance Co. for many years, was found dead at his home in the city last Saturday morning. His son Gene discovered the body shortly before ten o’clock.

Death by heart attack is believed to have occurred sometime early Wednesday, April 11th, 1962, as he had been seen last on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Wilhelm had been in good health and very active for his age. He lived alone in his residence at the extreme western limits of the city, which he purchased upon leaving his farm one mile west of Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.).

Funeral services were held at St. Bernard’s Church her Tuesday morning and burial was made in the parish cemetery. A complete obituary will be published next week.
