Mrs. Wukasch, 80, Dies, Rites Friday
Mrs. C. G. Wukasch, a resident of Austin the past 61 years and a widow of the late Charles G. Wukasch, was found dead in bed Wednesday at her home at 611 West 23rd Street.
Mrs. Wukasch, 80, and her husband were familiar names around The University of Texas campus for many years and took an active part in many University projects. Wukasch opened a small sweet shop at 24th and Guadalupe around 1899 after returning from the Spanish - American War. He later moved to 23rd and Guadalupe where the sweet shop became Charlie's Confectionary before it grew into a full scale restaurant. The restaurant was operated as a family affair until about 1935, when one of Wukasch's sons, Walter Wukasch, took it over. This son later went into the liquor business, retaining the name as Charlie's Liquor Store.
Mrs. Wukasch, a native of Serbin in Lee County, was married to Wukasch in 1904. She was the former Miss Emma Helen Hannusch. Although not real active in civic clubs, she was very active in the Trinity Lutheran Church and worked in the Women's Missionary League and Ladies Aid Society.
Survivors include two sons, Martin Wukasch with the State Health Department, and Walter Wukasch; a daughter, Mrs. E.A. Swiedom of Davenport, Iowa; eight grandchildren and four great - grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Trinity Lutheran Church with Rev. Martin Ramming officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery by Hyltin-Manor Funeral Home.
