05 12 Dr. A. F. Solliday, 86, of 114 South Church Street, died late Saturday afternoon in St. Mary's Hospital after an illness of three weeks. In recent years, however, failing health had greatly curtailed his activities and he had been at the hospital at various times. Dr. Solliday was born in Watertown on Oct. 23, 1871, a son of the late Albert Solliday and the former Elizabeth Van Ness. He was married to Miss Emma Habhegger, member of another old and widely known Watertown family, on June 23, 1897, the marriage being solemnized in St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Mrs. Solliday died in 1947. Dr. Solliday was educated in Lincoln School, St. John's Military Academy at Delafield, the Shattuck Military Academy in Faribault, Minn., and Northwestern University Dental College in Illinois. He practiced dentistry here until 1931. Later he became president of the Wisconsin National Bank, retiring from the bank some five years ago, having served as chairman of the board. WL
