Less than three weeks ago he was seen here in town on one of his business trips to Marathon.
He was sick for almost a week or more, his sickness Typhoid fever. He was taken to St. Mary’s hospital at Wausau where he died Sunday night. One of his sons, William, had been sick this summer with the same disease and has now just recovered.
The deceased who fifty-four years old and his survived by his wife and five sons. He was one of the pioneer farmers of the town of Stettin was highly respected by all that knew him. He was of a kindly, sociable nature, a man whom everybody could not help but love and respect.
His funeral was held Wednesday, services being conducted at the German Methodist church at the town of Rib Falls by Rev. Frye the new pastor of that church. The high esteem in which the deceased was held in his community was evidenced by the very large attendance of his funeral.
