Former Well-to-Do District Banker is Buried by Welfare Department.

Edward Voigt Jr., 75, once a bank president who had a swimming pool in
his basement, was buried by the Welfare Department yesterday after his
death in a one-room apartment among the relics of his past.

Voigt had lived alone at 1117 Vermont ave. nw. for four years. One day
last month, he died alone in the kitchen. His body had rested there
until April 6, when the caretaker, Joseph Meade, called police.

The police found a neat apartment furnished with old and faded
tapestries. They saw pictures of handsome women and a large Wyoming ave.
house identified as costing ,000 with a swimming pool in the
basement.

They saw a liveried chauffeur beside a limousine with a woman and two
small girls on the porch. Welfare records showed that Voigt had been
divorced in Las Vegas in 1928 by his wife who had borne him two
daughters.

The record also shows that Voigt had since lived with his late mother on
Massachusetts ave. and later in a small apartment on that street. But
when he moved to his last home he closed the door on his past,
instructing Meade not to let anyone know he lived there. Meade recalls
that a well-dressed woman once came to see him but he turned her away.

Meade says that Voigt never wore any clothes while in the apartment, but
he always dressed up whenever he went out – once or twice a week for
groceries or a stroll.

Old business associates remember Voigt as being a dapper dresser during
his days as president of the old American Commercial and Savings Bank at
7th and sts. nw. The bank failed in 1924 when it was taken over by the
present Security Bank.

Voigt’s father, Edward Sr., sold jewelry and religious articles in a
shop at 7th st. between G and H sts. The younger Voigt was a partner in
this business for about 30 years.

A lifelong resident of Washington, Voigt was buried at a cost of 0 to
the taxpayers. He now rests along side his mother and father in Prospect
Hill Cemetery.
