AUGUST DEICHSEL.

Last Wednesday, afternoon, May 20,
1906, August Deichsel, one of Wausaus
oldest and most highly respected citi-
zens, died at his home in this city at
COS South Third avenue. He had been
feeble for quite number of years, hav-
ing several years ago, suffered slight
stroke of paralysis. He had been able
TO be up and about up TO within short
time of his death.
Mr. Deichsel had lived in Wausau for
fifty years; coming here with those
pioneers who saw in this section the
vast possibilities for glorious future,
he struggled and added what he could
towards the upbuilding of our city and
county. Being a man of excellent
judgment, splendid principles and
possessing a determined will, he was
always found on the side of right, and
in the early days, in his quiet way, he
did much to help shape the affairs of
the city and county. He was very
kind and sympathetic man and always
ready to lend helping hand to the
afflicted and distressed and old ac-
quaintances loved and respected him.
August Deichsel was born in Comase,
Prussia, on the 25th day of August,
1924. and lived in that country until
thirty years of age. He served five
years in the Prussian army. In 1854
he came to America and settled in
Michigan, where he remained for two
years and then came TO Wausau. On
the 18th of Nov, 1857, he was united in
marriage to Mary Kolter, sister of our
late fellow townsman, Jacob Kolter.
Mr.. Deichsel run the river for fifteen
years, making regular trips to St.
Louis several times each year and
many times Peter st. Austin, who died
last week, was the pilot of the fleet on
which Mr.. Deischel helped to run out
to market In 1876 he purchased land
about one mile west of the city limits on
which he and his family moved and
where fine farm was cleared Here
Mr.. and Mrs. Deischel lived until their
children all grew up to manhood and
womanhood and about all had homes
of their own. Three years ago the
farm was sold and a home pur-
chased on Third avenue, where they
have since resided.
Eight children were born to them,
seven of whom are living Chas.,
Jacob, Frank and August, ali of whom
live in Wausau; Mrs. VIM. Rienow, of
Loyal, Wis; Mrs. John Drinkwater, of
Garrett, Indiana, and Mrs. George
Marthaler, of Beaver Dam, all of whom
were present at the funeral.
Funeral services took place on Sun
day at o. clock p. M, from the German
Reformed church. Rev E. Fuenfstueck
