CHARLES W. GREULICH IS DEAD; LEAVES A CITYFULL OF FRIENDS
POPULAR AND PROGRESSIVE MERCHANT SUCCUMBS TO BRIEF ILLNESS--CUT DOWN AT ZENITH OF SUCCESS AS A BUSINESS MAN
CHARLES W. GREULICH, head of the GREULICH COMPANY, clothing merchants, exemplar of the highest type of successful, self-made business man and one of Grand Rapids best known and best loved native sons, died yesterday afternoon at Butterworth hospital, after an illness of less than a week, of typhoid fever.
Mr. Greulich had been indisposed for several days. Dr. Louis Barth, called to attend him, ordered his removal Wednesday to Butterworth hospital, where his case was diagnosed as a virulent attack of typhoid fever. He failed rapidly, the combined efforts of the most skilled physicians being unable to check the progress of the disease which, it is believed, untiring application to business had fastened upon him.
The end came shortly after noon. News of it traveled fast and spread sorrow in its wake throughout the down town district, in which for years his had been one of the most familiar and most welcome figures. His demise is felt as a distinct personal bereavement by thousands of Grand Rapids citizens with whom he had had business dealings during a period of more than a quarter of a century and who had found him not only of engaging personality but of unquestioned probity.
By those who have known him, man and boy, before and since he began his business career, his demise will be most sincerely mourned. His death is a grievous loss to Grand Rapids.
"I have known Charley Greulich all his life," said a well known business man. "He was pure gold."
The expression was from the heart. It epitomized the sentiment of a legion of friends of the genial business man whom death has ruthlessly stricken down in the prime of life.
Charles W. Greulich was born in Grand Rapids about 48 years ago. His father, CHARLES J. GREULICH, died about a year ago. He received his education in the city schools.
When little more than a boy he entered upon business life as a clerk in the William Houseman clothing store, and later he went to the Giant. In 1892 he formed a partnership with Thoams W. Strahan and under the firm name of STRAHAN & GREULICH opened a clothing store at 54 Monroe street. Mr. Strahan retired from the firm in 1897, and the business was continued by GREULICH & VOGT, which firm was later succeeded by the GREULICH COMPANY, E.J. Vogt retiring.
In business Mr. Greulich was indefatigable. Starting in one store, in time he expanded into the store adjacent and then, taking a lease of the entire building, he occupied the floor above. The remodeling of the second floor was completed only a few months ago and plans were far advanced to make the first floor rank among the finest stores of the kind in the city. Mr. Greulich watched every step of the work and its completion would have marked the attainment of a long cherished ambition.
Mr. Greulich was a life member of the Elks and a member of the Maccabees. He belonged to the Peninsular club, the White Fish Lake club and the board of trade. He was active in public enterprises.
Mr. Greulich was unmarried. He is survived by his aged mother and three sisters, CHRISTINE R. and LOUISE M. of this city, and MRS. MARY DAPPEN of Cincinnati. He lived with his mother and sisters at 153 West Broadway.
The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. The Greulich store will be closed tomorrow and Tuesday.
