DEATH RESULTED FROM APPENDICITIS ATTACK
Thomas C. Wollam, Well Known St. Peter Resident, Died in Mankato Hospital Friday Night
Friends and relatives were greatly shocked to hear of the death of a well known resident, Thomas C. Wollam, which occurred at the Immanuel Hospital in Mankato last Friday evening shortly after 10 o'clock. Death was due to acute appendicitis and other complications and followed a brief illness.
Mr. Wollam, who had always been in robust health, suffered an attack of appendicitis Christmas Eve and was immediately removed to the Immanuel Hospital. His condition was critical but an operation was performed early Christmas morning and for several days following his condition was favorable. About two weeks later it was found necessary to operate a second time and since then he had been failing rapidly.
Deceased was born in this city on January 20, 1868, and was 56 years old. He grew to manhood here, and this community has always been his home. Mr. Wollam followed his occupation of carpentry and contracting in this community and the greater part of his time in Kasota, where he was widely known. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Naugebauer, who preceded him in death in 1918.
Mr. Wollam was highly respected by all who knew him and leaves many friends who were sorry to hear of his untimely death. All join with this paper in extending sympathy to the relatives. He leaves four sons and two daughters as follows: Donald H. Wollam of Spencer, IA; Mrs. Lee Cummins, nee Myrtle Wollam of Janesville; Howard C. Wollam of Amiret; Clifford E. Wollam of Honolulu; Thomas C. Wollam, Jr. of Spencer, Iowa; and Hazel Wollam at home. He also leaves four grandchildren and the following sisters and brother: Mrs. W.O. Layton, this city; Mrs. Wm. Volk, Mankato; Mrs. H.C. Davis, Roosevelt; and H.B. Wollam of this city.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Wollam home. Rev. H.W. Hynes of the M.E. Church officiated. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and were testamentary of the esteem in which he was held by a large circle of friends. Interment was in Green Hill Cemetery. The pallbearers were: J.S. Jacobsen, Jos. Mitchell, Peter Webber, Wm. Hocking, Steve Spiess, and Wm. LaCroix.
