MAN OVERCOME AT CLINTONVILLE GAME,

DIES AT SHAWANO

 

Clintonville, Wis. (Special) -- Overcome while playing baseball at Central Park Saturday afternoon, John Schuster, 24, teacher in St. Martin's Parochial School, died at 5 o'clock last evening at the house of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schuster, Shawano.

He was pitching in the game which was a feature of the St. Martin's Lutheran Parish picnic, when he was overcome by the heart near the close of the game.

A. O. Kuntz, principal of the school, took Schuster to his horse.  The doctor was called and the case was diagnosed as enlargement of the heart.

Schuster expressed the desire to be taken to Shawano, where he and his wife were spending the summer, and he died about half an hour after arriving at the home of his parents.

The deceased taught in the Clintonville school for three years.  He was interested in athletics and had done much for the furtherance of sports at the Lutheran School.  He was a talented musician and had played with the Lutheran Band in this city.

Survivors are his parents and his wife, and one brother, Ray Schuster, Shawano.  Funeral arrangements have not been made.
