CARBON MONOXIDE GAS TAKES THE LIFE OF OSHKOSH MAN
E.W. Weisbrod Found Dead In Garage at Home at Windemere -- Overcome While Working On Car
Edward W. Weisbrod, 66, prominent in the civic and business life of Oshkosh for many years, was killed accidently late Sunday afternoon by carbon monoxide gas poisoning from the exhaust of his own automobile, in the garage at the rear of his home at Windemere, south of Oshkosh.
The body was discovered by his wife when he failed to respond to her call to come into the house for dinner. A physician was called at once and Mrs. Weisbrod also was assisted by neighbors.
Efforts to revive the victim failed, and it was later ascertained, from a review of the events of the afternoon, that he was overcome a considerable time before his wife found him.
The deceased was in the garage applying paint to the engine of his automobile. His wife stated he had remarked Saturday that he would paint the motor of his car, Sunday afternoon.
She stated he went to the garage about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Weisbrod said he started the engine of the car about 5 o'clock. She heard the auto engine and noticed the auto headlights were turned on, she said.
OPENED GARAGE DOORS
The gas victim at that time threw the garage doors open. Mrs. Weisbrod stated the engine stopped, but the lights remained lighted, and she didn't consider that anything unusual had happened. She believed, she said, that he wished to warm up the engine to dry the paint and then remained in the garage to do some other work.
When he was discovered, Mr. Weisbrod had fallen to the floor adjacent to the left door of the car, which was open. The ignition keys had fallen beside him. Reconstructing the picture of what had occurred, those who were there consider it likely that he became aware of the gas fumes at 5 o'clock, when he opened the doors, then rushed back to shut off the automobile engine, succeeded in doing so, and then collapsed.
It was 6:15 o'clock when Mrs. Weisbrod went out to the garage and discovered the body. There was no indication of life, she said, but her first act was to call a physician. She also called the neighbors to assist her.
HOOD STILL RAISED
The hood on the engine still was raised where the victim had been painting. At that time, the doors having been open for more than an hour, there was little or no gas in the garage, but the physician stated the air expelled from the lungs the dead man, when effort was made to revive him, was heavy with the fumes which accompany the odorless poison fumes in an auto exhaust.
His report also included other typical symptoms of this form of poisoning, and it was asserted Mr. Weisbrod had only recently undergone a rigid physical examination which showed him to be in normal health.
The deceased was the last surviving member of his immediate family, a family which played an important part in Winnebago county and Oshkosh history. His father, R.J. Weisbrod, served as an officer in the civil war and later was chief of the Oshkosh fire department and still later Oshkosh police chief.
His son, born in Oshkosh Dec 3, 1866, attended the Oshkosh public schools and the Oshkosh Business college. As a young man he was employed by the F.B. Claggett Drug company and later by Birley & Son jewelers, both firms having passed out of existence years ago.
HAD STUDIED LAW
He also studied law in the office of Hooper & Hooper, of which the late veteran barrister, Moses Hooper, was then the active head.
It was in 1889 that he entered the real estate, loan, and insurance business, and the real estate business remained his chief occupation until his death. He was actively engaged in business at the time of his death.
The deceased also held several posts of importance in public life. He was a former member of the police and fire board and served eight years as an alderman from the Eleventh Ward at that time taking an active part in the movement for public ownership of the water utility. He also was interested in the taking over of the old horse-drawn streetcar company by the electric street railway.
He was at one time a candidate for the mayorality, and continued to take an active interest in public as well as private affairs. He also was prominent in lodge work, particularly the Knights of Pythias.
LODGE AFFILIATIONS
Among other fraternal affiliations was his membership in the Mills lodge and in the Modern Woodmen of the World. He also was a member of the Oshkosh Yacht club, and, at the time that organization
existed, was a leading member of the Oshkosh Driving club. He owned and drove his own horses at the time this was one of the major local sports.
It was at the time of his marriage to Miss Louise A. Gustavus, Oshkosh, in 1895 that he built his home on Linde avenue, then underdeveloped. He carried on a real estate development movement in that part of the city and resided there, himself, until four years ago, when Windemere became his permanent home.
Besides the widow he is survived by a son and a daughter, William Weisbrod, Washington, D.C., and Mrs. Edna Weisbrod Biggs, Denver, Col.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Fiss & Bills funeral home, 60 Church street, with burial at Riverside cemetery. Dr. David F. Bent of the First Congregational church will officiate. The body will be at the funeral home from Tuesday afternoon to the time of the services.

The former Miss Louise A. Gustavus was married to E.W. Weisbrod in Oshkosh in 1896.

Mr. Weisbrod died in February, 1933, and since that time Mrs. Weisbrod returned to the city and had resided in Oshkosh.
