                DIED

           Dr. Charles A. Hillweg [sic] died at his residence in west Corning Sunday morning, January 26, 1913, at about 12:40 o'clock, after an illness of perhaps a year, the result of spinal trouble caused by a fall near the Bacon hotel. A short funeral service was held at the home Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock under the auspices of Olive Camp M. W. A., of Corning, of which Mr. Hillweg was a charter member. B. J. Gibson gave the ritualistic work of the order. The body was taken to Chicago on train No. 12 Tuesday for interment accompanied by relatives of the deceased. Dr. Hillweg, son of Rev. and Mrs. Peter Hillweg, was born in Muscatine 56 years ago last June. He spent some time in Chicago where he graduated from the Hannaman [sic] Medical school. In Chicago he was married about 32 years ago to Miss Ella Hastings. He and his wife spent a few years in Milwaukee, Wis., then came to Corning some 25 years ago. Dr. Hillweg was a homeopathic physician and had a large practice in this locality. He was a good doctor and will be missed by many, in fact Dr. Hillweg was the only physician of the homeopathic school in Corning. To Mr. and Mrs. Hillweg three children were born. Irene, who died in Chicago 24 years ago the 19th of the present month; Charles, who is a dentist located in Chicago, and Miss Aileen, who resided at home with her parents. Besides his wife and children deceased leaves three sister [sic], Mrs. Etta Snyder, residing at Garner, Iowa; Mrs. Dr. Snyder and Mrs. Feigenbaum [sic]; also two brothers, Ed Hillweg, of Minneapolis, who visited here the latter part of last week, en route to western points, and John H. Hillweg, of Wisconsin. Mr. Hillweg was a member of the Court of Honor lodge as well as a charter member of the Modern Woodmen. The son Charles Hillweg, of Chicago, also Mrs. Hillweg's sisters, Miss Elizabeth Hastings and Mrs. John Herron, of Chicago, came to attend the services here and to accompany the relatives to Chicago, where the remains will be laid to rest beside the daughter who had preceded in death. Deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones in their sorrow.

           The following obituary was published in the Adams County Free Press, of Corning, Iowa, on Saturday, 1 February 1913:

           Friends in this city were saddened on Sunday morning when the words flashed through town that Dr. C. A. Hillweg [sic] had passed away the previous night at 12:40 at the family residence. The funeral services were held at the home Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Order of Modern Woodmen of America, and the body taken to Chicago on No. 12, where it was placed in a vault. The funeral will be held later and interment will take place at Calvary cemetery beside his little daughter, Irene who died in Chicago in 1880. The body was accompanied by his son Charles Hillweg and two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Kittie Heron and Miss Elizabeth Hastings all of Chicago. Mrs. Hillweg and Miss Aileen will remain here until the funeral is arranged for when they will join the relatives at Chicago. Charles A. Hillweg was born June 20, 1857, at Muscatine, Iowa, and was next to the youngest child of Rev. and Mrs. Peter Hillweg. He entered the Hannaman [sic] Medical college at Chicago where he graduated in 1878 at the age of 21 years. He was married to Miss Anna E. Hastings of Chicago January 1, 1878. They immediately went to West Bend, Wis., where the doctor practiced his profession of homeopathy. In 1887 the family removed to Corning where he enjoyed a fine practice for many years. Three children were born to Dr. and Mrs. Hillweg. Irene, who died in 1889; Chas. of Chicago and Miss Aileen, who resides at home and is engaged in teaching. Besides his wife and two children the [word is missing] leaves two brothers, John Hillweg of Hayward, Wis., and Ed of Minneapolis. The latter was here Friday to see his brother. He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Etta Snyder, Mrs. Dr. Louise Snyder and Mrs. Lizzie Fiegenbaum of Garner, Iowa. His fatal illness was caused by a severe fall 3 years ago which gradually developed into locomotor ataxia. None knew better than he that his days were numbered, and when he was taken to Chicago a few weeks ago to a noted specialist he diagnosed his case in every detail to the noted doctor, and told him that his race was run. Dr. Hillweg was a member of the Court of Honor and the M. W. A. and held life insurance to the total of $5,000, leaving his family well provided for. He was a very genial gentleman and very much enjoyed a friendly visit and had a wonderful memory for names, dates and faces, places and events and often regaled his friends with stories for which he was especially entertaining. Dr. Hillweg leaves many friends in Corning who will long remember him with [pleasure?].

    •      The following biographical sketch of Charles A. Hillweg was published in 1892.

           Dr. Charles A. Hillweg, of Corning, was born in Muscatine, Iowa, June 26, 1856, the son of Rev. P. and Martha (Danker) Hillweg. His father was a German Methodist Episcopal minister, who is now retired after thirty-two years of service, and his mother is also still living; they are residing in this State. Mr. Hillweg finished his education at the Platteville Wisconsin State Normal School, then taught school one year, began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. H. T. Snyder, and finally graduated, in 1878, at the Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago. He began practice in Iowa, then followed his profession in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and in 1886 established himself in Corning. His thoroughness and conscientiousness soon brought him a large patronage, as he is one of the best representatives of his school in this part of the State. Of course he is recognized as a sufficiently well qualified physician by the State Board of Health. He is also a practicing surgeon.
           In Chicago, in 1878, he married Miss A. E. Hastings, a native of Canada, and they have three children. One daughter, M. Irene, died at the age of eight years: Charles M. U. and Aileen I. are living.
           In his political views Dr. Hillweg is a stalwart Republican. At present he is chairman of the County Central Committee.

           One of Charles' obituaries reported that the family took up residence in Corning, Iowa in 1887.
