NORBERT SCHMITZ
Norbert J. Schmitz, 57, well known Town of Meeme cheese factory operator, was fatally stricken Sunday afternoon while driving his car near Hayton in Calumet county.
He was taken to Calumet Memorial Hospital, Chilton, but apparently had died moments after the heart attack. He was under a doctor’s care, but his heart ailment had not been considered serious.
His wife, Millie, who has been Newton correspondent for The Press for many years, said two couples joined them for an auto ride after Sunday’s cheesemaking was completed.
They had come to a dead end road and Mr. Schmitz was turning his car around when stricken.
A veteran in the cheese industry, Mr. Schmitz learned the trade at Hilbert at the age of 16. He later worked at factories in Sherwood, in the Kiel area and at Plymouth.
Following his marriage to Millie Jooss at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Hilbert, on June 12, 1937, he worked at Plymouth until moving to Osman where he became operator and manager of the Osman Co-op.
He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Osman, the Holy Name Society, the Catholic Order of Foresters, the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Cheeesemakers Association and the Pigeon Lake Sportsmen’s Club.
A native of Hilbert, he was born June 13, 1911, the son of the late William and Mary Schmitz.
Surviving are his wife; two daughters,Mrs. Leo (Janet) Endries, Brookfield, and Miss Judith, a student of Oshkosh State University ; a son, James of Oconomowac; three grand-children; five sisters, Mrs. Lorraine Heller, Mrs. Raymond Gottschalk and Mrs. Lester Hopfensperger, all of Appleton; Mrs. Ermie Thielmann, rural Chilton, and Mrs. Marie Wilcox, Sheboygan, and three brothers, Roman, Oshkosh, and Clarence both of Chilton.
