RUPPERT FOUND DEAD FROM GAS
Housekeeper Discovers Body of Chef Beside Stove in Kitchen
SEEMED IN GOOD SPIRITS
Victim Visited With Friends in Evening Before Going to Apartment.
After visiting with friends New Year's night, Frederick Ruppert,
48, of 307
Madison street ended his life in the kitchen of
his apartment by inhaling
illuminating gas. He had been in failing health.
Mrs. Olive Cartner, 416 East Adams street, Ruppert's housekeeper, discovered
the body lying across a chair near a gas range when she called at the
apartment at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, as was her daily custom. She was
accompanied by her son, William Cartner.
Ruppert was fully dressed and a tube which was
connected with the gas range
lay across his body. His coat and hat were found on the kitchen table. He
left no message and friends who talked with him late New Year's night said
he appeared in the best of spirits and talked of getting up early in the
morning to keep an engagement.
Mrs. Cartner notified police headquarters
immediately after discovering the
body and Acting Detectives Hennessey and Holland visited the rooms, later
notifying Coroner William R. Winne. The body was
taken to the county morgue.
Ruppert had been employed as a chef in an East Genesee street
restaurant.
Surviving are three sons living in Syracuse,
and a brother in Boston, Mass.
Herbert Ruppert, 103 East Kennedy street, a son, wired
the brother last
night and funeral arrangements will be held up until a reply is received.
Frederick's
Funeral Service was conducted at 2pm by Rev. Knappenberger
in the Morgue Chapel. As Herbert Rupert Sr stated
"It was storming terribly outside when we went in but when the sermon
was started the sun came out and a big beam fell accross
the casket, and the sun remained out till the casket
was put in the vault, then the sun went behind the clouds and it started
storming harder than ever again."
Cecil, Ada,
Jack and Herbert Rupert Sr attended the service.
Note: Rev James B Knappenberger was Minister born
in Pennsylvania
1856.
