THE BUFFALO EXPRESS, Monday Morning, Oct 28, 1888
THE LATE WILLIAM WOLTGE
Buffalo lost a good citizen by the death of Mr. William Woltge, which occurred at his residence, No. 247 Delaware Avenue, on the 23rd inst. The fatal illness was of an apoplectic nature, following a paralytic attack. Mr. Woltge was born in Berlin in 1834, and immigrated to America in 18??. He lived two years at Erie, Pa., where he married Miss Anna Andrews. He moved to Buffalo in 1858, entered the employ of H. O. Barnum & Son and soon after became a member of the original firm. This connection continued until 1872,when Mr. Woltge bought and carried on the Housekeepers Emporium, at 819 Main Street.
In 1880 he became the active manager of the Buffalo Upholstery Company. Under his control the business prospered and grew rapidly. Mr. Woltge was a consistent member of Trinity Episcopal Church and for years had taken an active part in the Young Men's Christian Association and in various fields of benevolent and charitable work. Among the charities in which he took an active part was the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, his love for and kindness to the dumb creation being prominent traits in his character. He was a friend of the poor and a benevolent and upright man in all the walks of life.
He leaves a wife, two children, Mrs. Thomas E. Calvert of Fredonia and Albert A. Woltge
of this city and an only brother, Prof. Albert Woltge of Stamford, Conn. The funeral, on
Friday morning, was largely attended.
