Growing of Summer Apples

On nearly every farm summer apples
have had place since very early days,
and varieties have been developed ex-
tending the season of apple production
over the entire summer, as well as au-
tumn. While as rule this fruit has
been grown for family consumption, the
surplus has found it's way to market.
The marked decline in the production Of
peaches within the past few years has
brought about considerable extension
of the early-apple industry OH CONNER
cial scale, which extension has been most
marked in the Middle Atlantic States,
where especially advantageous transpoI-
tati0n routes, both rail and water, and
the proximity of large markets have
stimulated the enterprise, which has it's
center in the truck producing region
near Philadelphia. The i. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture, as result Of this
extension, has made study Of the early
apple industry, with the Middle Atlantic
States as field, and published the
information collected in bulletin en-
titled Summer Apples in the Middle AT
lantic States" issued by the Bureau OF
Plant Industry, This bulletin is com
pendium Of information covering all
phases of the question Of early-apple pro
ducti on, including soils, climate culture
picking, packing, marketing, etc. Mum
erous varieties are described, and seasons
and other data conveniently presented in
tabular form.

Ex-Mayor John ]. Brusenbach an
sWered the final summons at st. Ma
ry's hospital Tuesday morning following
an operation for gallStones. Every
effort was made to save his life but
other complications had set in and
he had been in poor health for more
than a year. The immediate cause OF
death was pneumonia which set in
after the operation had been per
formed. Up to that time it was
thought that his chances for recovery
were excellent. Although not unexpect-
ed his death casts gloom upon the
whole city as he was one Of it's best
known and most foremost citizens
having filled several civic Offices in
Guiding alderman and mayor.
Mr. Brusenbach first saw the light
of day in Landskron, Austria where
he was born November %, 1864. He
came to this section with his parents
when 2 years old and has made his
home in Watertown ever since. He
was married to Mary Motl Of the
town of Hustisford, September 22,
1891, who preceded him to the grave
three years ago last October. Six
children survive: Henry, Joseph, Leo
Cecilia, Agnes and Mary. Two broth
ers, Henry Of Emmett and Frank Of
WatertoWn and two sisters, Mrs.
John Welsh of Waukegan and Mrs.
August Schulteis of Royalton, Mimi,
also survive.
Mr. Brusenbach held many offices
Of trust He served as alderman of
the First ward in the years 1898, 1898,
1899 and 1900 In the following year
he was elected mayor Of the city by
the democratic party and served in
that capacity three years or until 1904
when he retired. For many years he
was the efficient secretary of the
Watertown Plattdeutscher Verein and
served in a like capacity for st. Hen
rvs Mutual Benefit society and for
the Watertown Liquor Dealers asso-
citation and WatertoWn Liederkranz.
During his administration of city af-
fairs he was known as a hard work
ing conscientious executive and his
incumbency was most popular one.
he SAME was True WuSu ne repre-
sented the people of the First ward
in the city council. He was man who
had but little educational advantages
as a boy but applied himself vigOr
ously in later years to study, dvelop
ing natural talent and acquiring
knowledge Of affairs which aided him
in the duties imposed on him later
in life.
Mr.. Brusenbach's home life was all
that could be desired. Bereft of his
Hfe's helpmate three years ago he de-
voted himself to the care of his chill
dren born to their union. In business he
was known as a man of strict probity,
honest in all his dealings and a man
whose word could be depended upon
and whose Judgment was sought on
many matters. His death falls eX-
tremely heavy on the children left to
mourn their loss, while the whole
community extends sympathy to the
bereaved ones. Out of respect to his
memory the flag on the city hall was
placed at half mast.
The funeral service took place Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock from his
late residence, 500 Sixth street. Ser
vices will be held III St. Henry's
Catholic church.

Johann George Seidel passed away at
$50 o'clock Monday morning at his late
residence, 1912 Tenth street. Mr.. Seidel
was native Of Germany and was born
there on the 18th of February, 1859. In
the year 1892, he journeyed with his
family to America, his family consisting
of his wife and daughters Elsie, Freda
and Emma, and came direct to Water
town, making his home here until his
death. He entered the employ Of the
American Mating Co. of this city and
worked faithfully and perservingly for
twenty years and up to few days prior
to his death. Through his energetic la
Dor and integrity, MIR. Seidel convinced
his employers that he was capable of
holding the position Of foreman, to which
he was promoted about five years ago.
He was man of generous and kind in
pulse and was appreciated by all who
knit w him. He was kind husband and
father and true friend. His death is a
great loss to all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance.
A few months ago he began ailing and
every Iaid imaginable was given him.
Physicians in Milwaukee ana Chicago
tried their utmost, but of no avail. Last
Saturday there was change in his con-
dition, seemingly for the better. He

retired in the evening, having cheer
full word for those about him. few
hours later he suffered stroke OF apo
plexy, from which he never regalned
consciousness, remaining in that state
26 hours, until death came to end all
earthly pains.
The funeral services were held sThurs-
day afternoon at 80 o'clock from the
house and at 200 o'clock in St. Marks
Lutheran church, the Rev. j. Klingmann
officiating. Interment followed in Oak
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Annie Crowley who will be remem-
bered by many in this city, passed away
at her home at Ponca, Neb. January 28th,
1911, aged fifty-fOur years, four months
and six days.
The deceased was native of Austria
and came to this country with her par
ents when she was but three months old
and they located in this city which was
her home during her childhood and early
womanhood. She was married to Daniel
Crowley, who now sits in the shadow OF
a great grief, in this city July Is, 1880,
and their home was frightened by the
coming of two daughters, Mrs. Miles Cor
don, Wynot, Neb., and Miss Beulah who
resides at home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crowley when they first
went to Nebraska, lived on farm near
Martinsburg and in 1900 retired to Mar
tinsburg where they resided until Novem-
Der, 1909, when they removed to POnca,
where Mrs. Crowley closed her eyes in
that sleep, which knows no waking III
this mortal dream.
In all her illness, she was patient and
more thoughtful for others, than for her
self. Beside her husband and two daugh-
ters she leaves sister, Mrs. Schultz at
Martinsbur,g and a host OF friends to
mourn the departure of an affectiOnate
wife, devoted mother and true friend and
her life, character and work, was an up
lift and inspiration to all who knew her.
Such life helps more than we often
think, in making the world better and
the good Lord will surely say of her.
She hath done what she could.
The sorroWing relatives have the sym
pathy of all of their Watertown friends
in their great beTeay em6nt.
