Heart Attack is Fatal Today to W. W. Hertzog, 65
Over-exertion From Shoveling Snow Believed to Have Caused Attack
Dies Late This Morning Few Minutes After Attack; No Funeral Arrangements
W. W. Hertzog, 65, 410 West Third Street South, died unexpectedly this morning from a heart attack, believed to have been caused by over-exertion from shoveling snow from the sidewalk at his home.
Although he had been in frail health for some time, he was feeling about as usual this morning and spent a short time out-of-doors shoveling a part of the walk. The attack occurred as he sat in the kitchen of the home, after he had returned indoors and tended the fire in the basement.
He was stricken at 11:45 a.m. and died a few minutes later before a physician could reach him.
Mr. Hertzog had been a resident of Newton for 27 years and had been employed in the Maytag company office until a few months ago when he retired because of poor health.
He was a member of the Baptist church of Monroe.
Surviving relatives include his wife; two daughters, Mrs. E. C. McElroy of near Newton and Mrs. Harold Loupee of Newton; two grandchildren, and two brothers, Harry Hertzog of Mason City, and Frank Hertzog of Omaha, Neb.
No funeral arrangements have been made.
