Intelligencer - October 8, 1901 Shortly before noon Friday,
William H. Altman succumbed to heart disease
while driving near his home on Clay street.
Mr. Altman was
born in Collinsville on December 26, 1839 and was
a life-long resident. In 1864 he was married to
Miss Miriam Lemon. Mr. Altman was widely known,
and by all who knew him he was loved and
respected. He was a strong and original character
in many respects. There was a certain firmness of
manner about him that expressed the qualities of
sincerity and strength, which appeared to be the
leading features of his character. He leaves a
wife and three children, Harry, Joe and Miss
Cora, to mourn his loss.
The funeral took
place from the residence on Clinton and Clay
avenue at 2:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon. At
the close of the ceremonies at the house, Rev. H.
Hardin Branch of the Presbyterian church paid a
very beautiful and touching tribute to the
deceased. The internment took place at Glenwood
cemetery. The pallbearers were J.H.B. Willoughby,
S. O. Simpson, J.W. Turner, M.C. McCormick,
Phillip Listemann and Walter Johnson.
