Chas. Storck, Dead
Hartford (WI) Press, June 12, 1903

Chas. Storck, Schleisingerville's well-known brewer, died at his home
Tuesday morning, from hemorrhages, which occured at intervals since the
preceding Saturday.  Mr. Storck was a man of strong and robust
constitution, and his death was a great surprise to all his friends,
particularly to those living here, who had no idea that he would not
live for years.

Mr. Storck was 54 years of age, having been born at Darmstadt,
Grosserzogthum, Hessen, Bavaria, Nov. 24, 1848.  In his early life in
his native country he began to learn the locksmith's trade, but after
completing his apprenticeship he came to America, and dropped that work
entirely.  He landed in this country in 1865, and went to Rochester,
N.Y., where he remained three years.  Coming to Chicago he stopped but
for a short time and then moved to Milwaukee, where he worked as an
enginer in the Kargledon brewery.  In Sept. 1877 he came to 
Schleisingerville, where he purchased the brewery in company with Wm.
Hartig.  Later Mr. Hartig sold out to Chas. Ehlert, now of this city.
In 1899 Mr. Storck bought out Mr. Ehlert, and since then conducted the
brewery alone until death.  During the years that he was its proprietor,
many changes and improvements were made to the brewery and in the
equipment, until now it is one of the best in the state.  Mr. Storck
was a kind man and indulgent in his family, and one who possessed the
friendship of his fellowmen to an unusual degree.

Mr. Storck was married Feb. 22, 1873, to Henrietta Schroeder, whose
home was near Kohlsville.  Mrs. Storck died July 9, 1893, leaving him
with nine children, two having preceded him in death.  The nine who are
living are, Henry, Chas. D., of Schleisingerville, Wm. of Norristown,
PA, August, Lizzie, George, Alfred, Emma and Oscar, all living at home.
Mr. Storck was again married, in 1895, to Julia Schumacher, of
Schleisingerville, and one child, Margaret, was born to them.  Mr.
Storck is also survived by five grandchildren, children of his two
older sons, Henry and Charles, both of whom with their families live
in Schleisingerville, and helped their father in the brewery.

Mr. Storck during his life time had been a member of the Sons of
Herman, and of the I.O.O.F.  At the time of his death he was serving as
treasurer of his village.

The funeral will take place at two o'clock this afternoon, Rev.
Blankennagle officiating.  The interment is to be at the Union Cemetery.
