Schuessler's wife, Eleanor, 37, prostrate at the news of her husband's death in a rest home in suburban Des Plains, sobbed: "It's all the killers' fault. They killed the boys and now they've killed Tony. I had everything to live for and now I've got nothing."
The Schuessler's only children, John, 13, and Anton, Jr., 11, and their neighborhood chum, Robert Peterson, 14, were found brutally murdered October 18 at the Robinson Woods Forest Preserve. The boys had disappeared from their Northwest Side home Sunday, October 16 after leaving to attend a Loop movie.
Schuessler went without sleep in the search for the boys. After the burial of his sons the succeeding days were filled with heartbreak and anguish. He closed his North Side tailor shop and said he would devote all his time in helping police search for the sadistic slayers. Thus far police have found no tangible clues in connection with the slayings. Police have questioned some 100,000 persons and have pursued every lead, however, insignificant. Reward for the capture of the slayers total $33,350.
Dr. Julius Steinfield, superintendent of the rest home, described the treatment given Schuessler as "a very normal and routine procedure." He said the first reactions were normal but later the pulse became weaker. He said four doctors worked nearly three hours in an unsuccessful attempt to revive him.
