GUSTAV j. PAULY
Passes Away at the Family Homo
Friday, December IS.

A very large portion of the COM
munity Of which Gustav ]. Pauly had
been a popular and esteemed member
for more than generation, were
shocked and grieved at the announce
ment, some weeks ago. that he was
sick and would hardly survive the ar
rival of his children, Francis and
Florence, from their musical studies
in Europe, to bid their dying father a
last farewell.
This sad comfort was not denied
them. His malady, Bright's disease,
forbade any hope Of recovery, and he
gradually sank to his last sleep on
Friday of last week surrounded by his
grief stricken family.
The career of Gus J. Pauly as boy
and man was singularly praiseworthy
and exemplary. His parents. John
and Anna Pauly, both dead, were
among the first Minnesota pioneers
and settled in Shakopee where Gus
tav was born February Is, 1856. The
family came to this city in 1862 where
for many years the father was en-
gagged in the cooper business in part
nership with Andrew Bumb. Gustav
went to the public schools and learn
ed the trade and business of cooper
under his father. He took a leading
part in the building up work of the
parish Of the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception under it's first pastor,
Rev. James McGolrick, now Bishop
of Duluth. until 1886, as tenor singer
Of the choir. member of the Young
Crusaders Total Abstinence Society
and cornetist in it's famous brass
band. In that year he was married to
Miss Amelia M. Young. organist Of
the same choir. For the next two
years he was a hardware merchant in
Bishop Ireland's colony at DeGraff.
MINI. Returning to this city in 1889
he entered into the real estate and
savings and loan business and by in
dustry square dealing and an agree
able personality he achieved a large
measure of success. His most promi-
nent traits were clear Medicines,
patience and never failing good hu1por
under the most trying circumstances
His work was constructive and help
full to others. He believed and prac-
ticed the doctrine that the best way
to help a man was to show him how
years of his life to the upbuilding of
the Hennepin Savings & Loan asso-
citation, of which he was secretary and
director from it's inception, and his
greatest pride and satisfaction was in
telling of it's sure and safe growth in
the confidence of the community.
That a man of his great worth and
character should be called hence in
the midst of his prime and greatest
usefulness is not only an irreparab BILE
loss to his dear ones, but distinct
loss to the community in which he had
so long and faithfully lived. He was
of the best type of husband, father
and citizen and practical Catholic. His
funeral occurred last Monday from the
family home, 1881 Clinton avenue, and
the Church of st. Stephen where Re-
quiem High Mass was offered for the
repose of his soul. Rev. Father Lar
penteur, a nephew of Mrs. Pauly, was
celebrant, assisted by Rev. Fathers
Fannon, Brockbank, Fitzgerald and
Minogue. An eloquent and fitting obit-
uary sermon was delivered by Father
Brockbank on the certainty of death
and the need of being prepared there
for by leading good life. Miss
Blanche Scallan, Mrs. A. J. Frank and
J. C.. Landry assisted by the choir
