AUGUST c. WESENER.
Owosso Mourns the Death of a
Brilliant and Popular Musician.


The sad news quickly spread around
Owosso Sunday that August G.
Wesener was dead, having passed away
at the family home on Michigan avenue
at 1870 a. m, his mother, Mrs. Bertha,
his wife, and cousin, Miss Krogman,
being the only relatives present.
His death probably resulted from an
abscess at the base of the brain, caused
by the collecting of poison there follow
ing an attack of quinsy, which followed
an attack of tonsilitis in April of this
year, and from the effects of which he
never fully recovered, although in al
most normal health for short time.
Two weeks ago he went to Plney
Ridge, health resort near Ludington,
and visited his brothers, DIR. John, of
Chicago, H., and Hugo, of Saginaw,
and their families. While there an
eminent specialist was consulted and
receiving no encouragement from him,
and becoming worse, returned with his
mother to Owosso, Thursday. Friday
he seemed much better and in the even
ing played the violin for some time,
surprising, those hearing him thought,
in expression, his usual wonderful pow
Ell in that hne-seemingly controlled
by emotions that had never been felt
before. This was the last time he used
his well beloved
Sunday morning he was assisted
down stairs to breakfast, but not being
strong enough to sit up was taken to
his room and in short time without
a .struggle, and with apparently no
pain. passed away.
August G. Wesener was born in
Saginaw, August ID, 1860, where the
family resided until he was 16 years
old, when they removed to Owosso.
He was educated in the city schools
later taking course at Olivet college,
and completing his musical studies at
the Conservatory of Music at Gin
cin4ati, and had he desired to do so
could probably haye made a wide
reputation as a violinist. He preferred
to be at home with the family and to
use his music for their pleasure and
that of his friends and himself. He,
however, organized an orchestra and
every organization in the city will miss
the grand concerts which they have
given at entertainments and services
and the lovers of the dance will be slow
to accept anyone as their successors.
For several years he was employed
by Osburn & Sons in their dry goods
department, but for eight years has con-
Quoted shoe business in the Wesener
block.
In 1898 he was married to Miss Grace
Meade, who survives him, and who has
the most sincere sympathy of an exceed
ing large circle Of friends. She has
been a faithful, cheerful and helpful
wife and finds it almost impossible to
realize that her husband has gone from
her. Besides his wife, he leaves a
widowed mother and two brothers.
The funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon at the home, Rev. c. III.
Hanks, officiating. At the cemetery
the b. Z. o. E. lodge took charge, con-
Quoting the ritualistic service.
