SAMUEL ROTHERT DEAD
Former Altoona Business Man Succumbed to Paralysis at His Home in 
Baltimore Early This Morning.

  Samuel Rothert, only brother of Oliver Rothert, the well known 
furniture dealer of this city, died at 12:15 this morning of paralysis, 
at his home, 1820 North Broadway, Baltimore, Md.  He was taken sick 
last November with nervous prostration, which developed five weeks ago 
into paralysis.  The deceased was born in Baltimore, August 16, 1876.  
Ten years ago he came to Altoona with his brother, Oliver, and they 
opened a furniture store in the Phoenix block.  He remained in business 
here for four years, when he went to York, Pa., and opened up a store 
for himself.  Four years ago he opened up another furniture store in 
Harrisburg and was the owner of two stores when he died.
  Mr. Rothert was a business man and was possessor of a genial 
disposition that made him many friends during his stay in Altoona.  He 
is survived by his wife, Anna M., and two daughters, Doris and 
Virginia, aged 7 and 2 years, respectively; also by his mother, Mrs. 
Isabel Rothert of Baltimore, and one brother and one sister, Oliver of 
this city and Mrs. Neva Nickolas of Baltimore.
  Mr. Rothert was a member of the Elks, a thirty-second degree Mason 
and belonged to the Shriners.
  The funeral will take place from his late residence in Baltimore and 
the interment will be made in that city.
  Mr. Oliver Rothert and wife left on limited express at 10 o'clock 
this morning to attend the funeral.
