DIED ON THE TRAIN

Prominent Galesburg Man Found Dead In a Coach


Galesburg, Ill., — A. Walbaum, president of the Galesburg Fuel Company, died 
suddenly on a passenger train on his way here from Mendota this afternoon. It 
was not discovered that he was dead until Altoona was reached, for it was 
thought that he was asleep. Mr. Walbaum was formerly a resident of Chicago and 
built the North Side water works.  Since 1868 he has operated large quarries 
near Gladstone, and for years was president of the Walbaum Stone and Quarry 
Company.  As a contractor he was furnished material for many western cities.  He 
was 67 years old.  He leaves a widow and five children, all living here save one 
son, Charles, of Chicago.
