Death Of
Werner BOesch !.
A Man Who for Nearly Half Century was q
Central Figure In New Ulm,
Dies Sunday.
Funeral From Turner Hall this Afternoon at
o'clock.

While not entirely unexpected, the
public announcement made early Mon
day morning, that Werner Boesch, one
of New Ulm's Oldest and most respect
ed citizens, had been called upon to pass
from the activities of life to the silence
of eternity, was received with profound
sorrow. Nearly half a century of active
| participation in all matters pertaining to
the welfare and progress of the city had
made him central figure in the social
and business life of the community, and
while having been practically retired
from active business for several years.
yet his sterling integrity and business
sagacity made him prominent beyond
the ordinary man.
Werner Boesch was born at St. Gallen,
Switzerland, August II, 1929, and was
therefore in his 10th 1year at the
time of his death. He received his
early education in the high schools of
his native town, was apprenticed to and
learned the trade Of machinist, and
when he arrived at manhood entered the
army of Switzerland, receiving an hon
orable discharge after service of sew
eral years.
He came to America in 1866 and set
tied in Chicago, working at his trade of
machinist there and at other points un-
! til 1857 when he came to New Ulm. In
1865 in company with Jacob Pfenninger
and j ohm Meyer he built the Eagle Mill
and in which enterprise he remained an
active partner until 1887 when he sold
his interest to the present owners and de-
voted his entire time to Ills growing real
estate and other interests.
Mr.. Boesch was twice married, first to
Anna Foehinger, who has been dead for
many years, and again in 1898 to Mrs.
Mueller, who now survives him. One
uatiSIICA, NAIS. M. u. Adtllc"S, I0SlueS
at Marshall this state.
He was an active member Of New
Ulm Turnverin, under the auspices of
which society the funeral will be held.
He was also an honary member OF New
Ulm Battery and this organization, in
recognition of his services at Fort
Ridgely during the Indian outbreak of
1862, will fire salute at the cemetry
following the interment.
Mr.. Boesch has, owing to stroke of
paralysis, been practically incapacltated
for business for the past two years and
last January went to California in search
of relief for his ailments, returning late
this fall apparently much improved, but
increasing years have told their tale and
shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday evening
he peacefully passed away.
Funeral services will be held from
Turner Hall this afternoon at 9 o'clock.
Music for the occasion will be furnished
by the Mannerchor and addresses will be
delivered by Col. William Pfaender and
G. A. Firgau.

New Ulm Public Library,
The Library Association finds Itself a trifl.
short In its Expense Account
But Success is Assured and very Satisfactory
Year has Been Clos I'd with Brilliant
Prospects for the Future.

The report of the treasurer Of the New
Ulm Library Association which was pre-
sented to the annual meeting Of the as
socjatiG held at Gebser's hall last Thurs
day evening shows a slight deficit for
the first year of the library's operation.
An effort has already been made, and will
be continued by the board, to secure as
slstance from the city for the maintain
ance of the library although 1t is claimed
that such aid cannot legally be given
owing to the fact that the library as at
present organized is private institution.
The report of Secretary Ackermann
indicates that the library is, aside from
its shortage of funds, in very prosper
Gus condition and receiving quite as
large patronage as could be expected
when its recent organization is coHsid-
cred. There have, thus far, been issued
64 cards emitting the holder to take
books and there IS no doubt but that the
number of card holders will be steadily
increased during the coming winter.
The reading room which IS open to
the public between the hours of 4 80 p.
m. to 9:3O p. m. excepting Saturday and
Sunday and from 2 to p. M. Sunday
and to 9:3O p. m. on Saturday, is
gaming in popularity.
D. A. Grussendorf and Miss Carrie
Friedman, whose terms as members of
the board had expired, were unanimous
ly reelected. Owing to the fact that
her duties in the SCI hools did not give her
the time necessary to devote to library
matters Miss Herta Weschcke rendered
her resi- ignation as member of the board
and the same was accepted, Mrs. A. J.
Alvin being elected to fill the unexpired
term.
A committee consisting of Prof. Ack-
ermann, D. A. Grussendorf, Einar Hol-
dale, O. M. Olsen, Miss Friedman, Mrs.
Alvin was appointed for the purpose Of
arranging for an entertainment for the
benefit of the library fund and active
work will be at once commenced.
