Sharpsburg, died this morning at his residence on Clifton avenue after five 
weeks' illness. He was 63 years of age. Mr. Wittmann was born in Barida and 
with his parents came to Sharpsburg when he was 12 years of age and lived here 
since 1883. Mr. Wittmann married Elizabeth Brader and ten children blessed 
their union, 9 of whom are living. He was a prominent and devout member of St. 
Mary's church, also a member of St. Mary's lyceum, Knight of St. George, 
Knight of Columbus, and a director of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. Some years 
ago Mr. Wittmann was a delegate to Rome, where he met the Pope. He will be

Bavaria, came to Sharpsburg when he was 2 and lived there from 1861 until his 
death and married Elizabeth Prager.]
