Died In Milwaukee

Mr.. Otto Linde, former resident OF
this city, answered the final summons
of death last evening at the home of
his niece, Mrs. George J. Engelhardt,
902 Second street, Milwaukee, aged
| 76 years. Mr.. Linde was a native of
Germany and was formerly one of the
most prominent and highly respected
German-American pioneer residents of
WATERFOWL. He left his native home
in the fatherland in 1866 and emigrat-
ed to this country, settling in Water
town, where he was prominently iden-
titled with the business and social life
of this city. Mr.. Linde was also a lit
erary man of great ability, and in the
cos associated himself with the late
Simon Meier in the stationary bust
mess, the firm being known as Meier
& Linde. Later he withdrew from
the firm and engaged in the fancy
bakery and confectionery business at
40 Main street. This business he
continued until about fifteen years
ago and later was employed as chef
at the Buena Vista house. Twelve
years ago he removed to Milwaukee,
where he has since resided. He was
charter member of the Plattdeutsch-
er Verein and one of the promoters of
its organization; he was also an hon
orary member of the Turner society,
and other German benevolent socie-
ties. Mr.. Linde possessed all the at
tributes of noble citizenship and it is
doubtful if a man has ever had more
true friends or had more admirers for
his social qualities, genial personality
and true manliness than did Mr.. Otto
Linde. Funeral services will be held
in Milwaukee tomorrow and the re-
mains will be brought to Watertown
over the st. Paul road at o'clock and
will be escorted to Oak Hill cemetery
where the interment will take place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward DolaSse, who
reside in Third street, mourn the
death of their infant sin aged two
weeks which occurred last evening.

To Provide Burial Fund

The G. A R. Posts of the state will
endeavor to have passed in the COM
ing Legislature a bill to provide for
burial of widows of civil war veterans
at state expense.
The project was taken up by E. B.
Wolcott post, Milwaukee, at its last
meeting and after a short discussion
it was determined to have a bill pre-
pared and introduced in the legisla-
ture making provisions for the burial
of soldiers widows. The cost is not
much in each case, but when it falls
on the posts as it does now, members
say, frequently it amounts to a large
sum in the aggregate.
1t is felt that this is an expense
which the state could properly be
asked to assume, at least in cases
where the widow was worthy per-
son. A committee was appointed to
take up the matter with other posts
in the state to secure united action
and the support of the Grand Army
in Wisconsin for the measure.
