Henry Wohlwend, the Clinton grocery, who sustained a fractured skull in an automobile accident last Sunday, passed away at 3:20 o'clock this morning at Agatha hospital, having been unconscious since the accident five days ago. He was injured by being thrown out of his Ford delivery car while going around a corner, when the steering gear of the machine became locked in some manner, and the car was upset.

Mr. Wohlwend was 39 years of age, having been born March 12, 1878, in Clinton, and made this city his home during his entire life. He was educated in the schools of this city and for the last four and a half years was in the grocery business, the first year being in partnership with his father, who retired three and a half years ago, after which Henry conducted the business himself.

The store is located at 116 South Fourth street, and the home is located over the store.

Surviving the deceased are his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Wohlwend, nee Kohler, three children, Marguerite, aged 11, Henry , aged 9, and Catherine, aged 6 years, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wohlwend, two brothers, William G. Wohlwend, George N. Wohlwend, and two sisters, Mrs. P. A. Scanlan and Miss Pauline Wohlwend, at home, all residing in Clinton.
