DEATH TAKES A HOLTON PUBLISHER

A. V. DWORAK SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK AT HIS HOME EARLY WEDNESDAY
------------------
The sudden death of A. V. Dworak early yesterday morning came as a shock to the community. Without previous serious illness, he died at his home, after suffering from a sudden heart attack. He had been slightly indisposed lately, but Tuesday told his wife he was feeling much better. Yesterday morning he arose at five o'clock and went to the bathroom after some soda. While there he fell, Mrs. Dworak succeeded in getting him to bed again and called Dr. Smythe who stayed with the patient an hour. At six o'clock Mrs. Dworak raised him on his pillow and life ebbed out instantly.
Mr. Dworak was 60 years old. He has been an active business man in Holton since 1919 when he moved his printing business here from Denison where he had been issuing stamp collectors' paper. He started in a small way here, but his business built up rapidly, and the expansion necessitated the construction of his present fine printing plant. He published the Philatelic Gossip, a magazine for stamp collectors, The Mail Order Trade, the World Stamp Market and The Air Mail Collector, the four publications having covered all parts of the nation and extended into foreign countries. His publications were considered among the best in the country devoted to the interests of stamp collecting.
Besides his publications which were issued monthly and weekly, his office did a large amount of printing for his clientele, bringing into the community thousands of dollars annually from outside sources. At his printing plant he employed a large force of workers and his annual payroll was among the largest in the county.
By his business associates, his publishing and printing business was regarded as a valuable asset to the town. It is hoped the business may be carried on without interruption. Mrs. Dworak has had considerable experience in aiding her husband in his business.
Mr. Dworak's wife died after he left Denison in 1919, and after moving to Holton he was married to Mrs. Dorothy Osborn Kirby who survives him. His mother and a sister live in New York City, and he has relatives in Iowa.
At the time of going to press, arrangements for the funeral had not been completed. Word was awaited from Mr. Dworak's mother in New York.
