  	Obituary of husband Joseph Warttman, The Courier, Waterloo: "Sudden Death of Cedar Falls Man Joseph Wartman [sic] Expires at Supper Table Leading Young Coal Merchant Died Early Last Evening Cedar Falls, March 19 ? (Special) Joseph Wartman of the firm of Logan & Wartman died suddenly last evening at 7:15 while sitting at the supper table, death being due to heart failure. Mr. Wartman was laughing and talking at the close of the meal when he was stricken and he died before the doctor who was summoned could arrive. The death is a shock to the many friends and business associates of Mr. Wartman, for he was a comparatively young man, only forty-two years of age, and had attended to his coal business as usual during the day. He had a slight attack of heart trouble a week ago but that was the first intimation of the disease. The first attack caused little anxiety and the second, which caused his death, comes therefore as a keen schock to the wife and other realtives. Deceased had lived in Cedar Falls for several years and had been associated with his father-in-law in business for four years. His wife's maiden name was Gertrude Logan. They have one little girl, four years old. Mr. Wartman was a member of the Maccabee lodge and of the German Lutheran church. He was a man admired and respected by all. Mr. Wartman has one brother, Sam Wartman, who is on a homestead in South Dakota west of the Missouri river. As it will be difficult to communicate with him the funeral will not be held until some time next week. Rev. E. B. Jones of the Baptist church will conduct the services."
