Edward C. Anspach, an employee of Samuel S. Bomberger's restaurant for a long term of years, died very suddenly on Thursday night at his home, at 436 Partridge avenue, into which he had moved with his family only a few days ago. On Thursday afternoon Mr. Anspach was taken seriously ill on the street and was assisted to his home by a friend. Early in the afternoon he was seized with such violent tremors of the body that the combined strength of several men was required to hold him in bed. Later he sank to rest and at 5 o'clock when he was visited by Dr. J. W. Kiefer, seemed to be in restful slumber. About 10:30 o'clock, however, he was seen to be breathing with difficulty; and Dr. Kiefer was sent for. He could not be found, however, and Dr. Pretz was then summoned, but when the latter arrived at the house, the patient had expired. Anspach was aged 47 years. He was born and raised in Bethel township, and at an early age took to iron work. He was engaged as a puddler for some years, and then went to Bomberger's restaurant, where he was engaged as a clerk and waiter for the past eleven years. He was popular, with the patron and employees of the place and the tidings of his untimely death when circulated this morning among surprised friends occasioned universal regret. He was a member of the Lebanon Lodge of Moose. Besides the wife, he leaves four sons, Elmer, Herman, Charles and Peter, and a daughter, Gertrude, wife of Norman Killinger, residing near Harper's Hotel. The father, Peter Anspach, resides with Mrs. Killinger. Charles Anspach, of near Lickdale, is a brother. [Lebanon Daily News, November 24, 1911, Page 1]
