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.
