Schlax, 70, for many years plant superintendent of Specialty Brass company and a resident here since 1906, died suddenly at his home, 6410 Fifth avenue, Saturday afternoon following a heart attack.

Schlax was a prominent member of St. James church and was also a member of the Holy Name society of that parish. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Kenosha Council No. 973, and of the Fourth Degree Assembly of the K. of C.

On May 28, 1901, he was united in marriage with Miss Catherine Richter at St. Alphonsus church at New Munster.
