The Ionia Daily Sentinel, March 18, 1909
Karl Joseph Capwell passed away at the home of his mother, Mrs. Della Capwell, 
Sault Ste. Marie, Monday morning, March 8, at the age of 21 years.  The young 
man had been ill for some time with Bright’s disease and other complications 
and his death was not unexpected.  The deceased had been in the employ of the 
Cudahy Packing company as a traveling representative for over a year and as a 
young man was making a great success of his work.  He had a very bright future 
before him.  He continued his work for some time after he was taken ill 
against the advice of his physician and mother and this no doubt hastened the 
end.  

Mr. Capwell was born in Westphalia, Mich., coming to the “Soo with his mother 
about eight years ago.  A mother, one sister, Lottie, at home, and a brother 
who is attending college at St. Paul, survive him.  The pallbearers were 
member of the K. of C. of which his brother is a member.

The floral offerings were most beautiful, especially from the K. of C., St. 
Thomas college and Cudahy Packing Company.  The funeral was held from St. 
Mary’s church Wednesday morning at nine o’clock, interment being at 
Riverside.  Mr. Capwell was a nephew of Mrs. J. J. Spitzley and was in the 
employ of Mr. Spitzley for about two years.  Mrs. Spitzley attended the 
funeral.
