This article refers to the death of Christian Kunzle, and how he came to work in the commons, it is a type of obituary on his death.

I read the info wrongly and thought he was 24 when he died.
Probate not until 1930

Could only find this.

Also this funeral notice. He died on 27th and was buried on 30th - isn't that very quick if there was an inquest? Probate says died 24th.

My wife's grandmother worked in service for the Kunzles when they lived at Ley Hill, and she said that their son killed himself by jumping out of the window. It was all hushed up apparently and he is buried at St Leonards church Frankley. Christian Kunzle also started the 'Give A Girl Health' fund, which featured in the 'Sunday Mercury', and it paid for children with TB and other illnesses to go to the fresh clean air of Switzerland.
