POISONING FATAL TO FACTORY HEAD
ERNEST H. MITTMAN DIES AFTER SIX WEEKS’ ILLNESS
President of Iowa Sheet Metal Products Company Succumbs to Infection of Right Arm.
Ernest H. Mittman, of 317 Cherry Street, president of the Iowa Sheet Metal Products company, and prominent young manufacturer, died at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Bellevue hospital. Death came as a result of blood poisoning from an infection starting in a finger on his right hand. He was 31 years old.
The infection resulted from an accident about six weeks ago when a small steel splinter became lodged in his hand. An unsuccessful effort was made to remove it at home. The injury was not considered serious until two weeks later, when Mr. Mittman was removed to the hospital and a consultation of three physicians was called. He underwent an operation four weeks ago, but at the outset, little hope was entertained for his recovery.
Native of Muscatine.
He was born on August 26, 1890, on Muscatine Island and lived his entire life in and around Muscatine. He married Miss Blanche Merkelbach on June 21, 1916, to which union three children were born, all of whom survive. They are Paul, 3 years old, and Junior and Jack, 11-month-old twins.
Besides his widow and three sons, Mr. Mittman is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Mittman of Muscatine; three sisters, Mrs. Harold Oetzel of Chicago, Mrs. Vincent Eppel of Washington, Ia., and Miss Freda Mittman, at home; and four brothers, Oscar, Carl, Ben and William Mittman, all of this city.
Rises To Head of Company.
He became connected with the Iowa Sheet Metal Products company about ten years ago, starting as a bookkeeper for the concern. Several years later, he became a member of the firm and rapidly rose to its presidency. It was mainly through his efforts that the plant has developed into one of the most essential sheet metal plants in the West.
Mr. Mittman took an active interest in church affairs, being a member of the First Baptist church and president of the Baraca class. He was also secretary of the Muscatine Manufacturers’ Association.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the First Baptist Church. The Rev. W. H. Rogers will officiate. Burial will be made in Greenwood Cemetery.
