Shortly after 8 a.m. William S. Potteiger was found lying ill in the coal chutes at Andrew Hain's coal yard, 316 Plum. The Reading Hose ambulance was called and the sick man was conveyed to his home at 604 Bingaman. Mr. Potteiger seemed to be suffering much pain and although conscious he spoke very little. When asked what physician he desired called he said Dr. Sterley. Drs. Sterley and Frankhausen were called. Mr. Potteiger's condition became worse and at 10:45 a.m. he expired. The cause of death was apoplexy.
Deceased had been out of work for several weeks, but this morning told his wife that he had obtained work at Andrew Hain's coal yard. He left home at 6:30 a.m. in the best of health and spirits Deceased was born near Van Reed's paper mill in 1830. About 25 year ago he removed to Reading from Sinking spring. A widow and one daughter, Ella, survive.
A cousin of deceased, Wm. Potteiger, died suddenly of apoplexy last week while shutting a gate on his farm in Spring township.
