Maquoketa Excelsior-Record, Dec. 8, 1911

DIED-

William A. Scholl, younger brother of John and James Scholl, of Maquoketa, died in a sanitarium at St. Joseph, Missouri, Monday last, of congestion of the brain. William was forty-four years of age and leaves a divorced wife and one daughter, Wilma, who is at present residing with her aunt, Mrs. Charles Burleson of near Nashville. William Scholl was born in Jackson county and was a familiar figure to all the older residents of this city. He was an extensive dealer in artificial diamonds and other precious stones. He was a man of good appearance, ready wit and tongue and he would make his headquarters in some large city, open offices, advertise extensively and soon be in command of a good business. His imitation diamonds met with ready sale and a fortune was accrued by Mr. Scholl, but which he was unable to keep. He was an optimist of a high degree and a very liberal spender of money and thru these faults perhaps he was taken sick and entered the sanitarium a physical wreck. Albert Scholl left for St. Joseph Monday night and returned with the remains Wednesday noon. The funeral was held from Harrison’s undertaking parlors at ten o’clock Thursday with prayer at the grave in Mt. Hope by Rev. Dairyrymple of the First Methodist Church.
