  Black Diamond", Chicago, IL.]



   



  Death of Robert H. Gruschow



   



  The business associates and friends of 
  Robert Henry Gruschow, president of the Gruschow - McCabe Coal Company, were 
  shocked by his sudden death Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Gruschow had been in his 
  usual health and spirits and active in attendance on business affairs up till 
  Monday evening.  Rising Tuesday morning, he was stricken with an internal 
  hemorrhage, which resulted in his death at two o'clock in the afternoon.



   



  The funeral was held Friday under the 
  auspices of the Oak Park Masonic Fraternity in the Rosehill Memorial Chapel 
  and interment was in Rosehill.



   



  Mr. Gruschow's career in the local coal 
  trade has been a long one.  He was born in Chicago on June 9, 1865, and 
  entered the business world as a clerk with the Erie Railroad Company.  His 
  identification with the coal trade began in 1900 as cashier of the old 
  Fairmont Coal Company under the direction of  C. M. Moderwell.



   



  In 1903 he became manager of the wholesale 
  department of the Chicago, Wilmington & Vermilion Coal Company, now known as 
  the Chicago, Wilmington & Franklin, and maintained this connection for four 
  years.  Upon the organization of the Eureka Coal & Dock Company, in 1907, he 
  became vice-president and was in practically full executive charge of the 
  affairs of that organization, next to the president, until his election to the 
  presidency in 1913.  He remained in this position until the summer of 1914 
  when he resigned and started in the wholesale business under his own name in 
  an office in the Old Colony building.

  At this time, Mr. Gruschow leased a part of the Claybourn avenue dock of the 
  Lehigh Valley Coal Sales Co. and became active in the handling of the coal.  
  Two years later a partnership between Mr. Gruschow, the Sheridan Coal Co. of 
  Omaha & John N. McCabe of Chicago, which continued his former business under 
  the single name of Robert H. Gruschow.  The partnership took over the entire 
  operation, of the Clybourn avenue. dock which it retained until May: 1. 
  1921.   The Sheridan interests were bought out by the other partners in 1918 
  and in 1921 the present Gruschow-McCabe Coal Company was incorporated as a 
  stock company with Mr. Gruschow at the head.



   



  In 1917, he was instrumental in the 
  organization of the Circle City Coal Company with mines at Nebo, Ky.  He 
  became president of that concern as well as general manager and retained those 
  capacities until his death. 




   



  Mr. Gruschow was a member of various Masonic 
  fraternities and an enthusiastic golfer.  He is survived by a widow and three 
  daughters.
