On, my, but it was strougl
On Tuesday evening one of the old resi-
dents Of this section met an untimely end.
We refer to George Berschens, who was
found dead that evening, about four miles
from the city, on the Lake Jane road, frozen
to death. From what we can learn. Mr.. Ber-
schens had been in the city during the after
noon, and while here had partaken rather
freely of intoxicants, but could manage to
get along. In the evening he aud another,
who was to drive for him. started home with
a load Of bran, and the next thing seen Of
him was his lifeless body, discovered frozen,
a To- h. - Oh -
been capsized on the way home. AT this
present time we cannot say whether he went
by the way of Lake Elmo, where ne owns
saloon, and had driven from there alone, or
whether he and the party driving him had a
dispute. Mr.. Berschens was well
known here, aud was a wealthy farmer
of Oakdale. When the new German CathO-
lie church was erected this season he pre-
scented it with its very fine altar, and besides
had subscribed literally. His only falling
was his fondness for liquor.
Bersehens was sixty years Of age and leaves
a wife and several grown up children to
mourn his untimely end. He was called
Honest George Berscheus," and will be
much missed by his many friends. He was
philanthropic in the widest sense, and every
deserving charity was literally dealt with By
this big hearted yeoman. About two years
ago his brother was killed by falling from a
load of wood when driving into st. Paul,
and it is strange that second death should
occur in the same family in nearly the same
way. The funeral takes place ON Friday.
