BERLIN, Germany, September 10, 1927 – Following an operation for ulcer of the stomach, performed at a hospital here ten days ago, Captain Austin Kautz, USN, Naval Attaché of the United States Embassy, died here this morning. His death was attributed to a severe and prolonged attack of hiccoughs, which prevented the wounds from healing. His age was 53.
Captain Kautz leaves a widow, the former Louise Folsom Hovery of Portsmouth, New Hampshire; two sons, Lieutenant Austin Kautz, Jr. of the United States Marines, now located at the New York Naval Yard, and Steven Kautz, who is attending school in Berlin, and two sisters, Mrs. John Beall of Cincinnati and Mrs. Alvin Read of this city.
Mrs. William Seabury of 150 East Thirty-Seventh Street, Mrs. Kautz’s sister, said yesterday that she received word a few days ago that Captain Kautz was recovering. Early yesterday she received a cable announcing his death.
Captain Kautz graduated from Leland Stanford University in 1893 and from the Naval Academy at Annapolis four years later. During the Spanish-American War he was on the staff of Admiral Sampson. In the World War he commanded the USS Pittsburgh, convoying troop ships through danger zones. Other ships which he commanded before and after the war were the Detroit, the Glacier, the Denver and the battleship Wyoming.
