THIRD VICTIM
OF HAMMER
FIENDS BURIED

Cassell was called upon Saturday
to attend the funeral of the third of
the hammers fiend victims, William
Balzar, who died in the Sank City hos
pital Thursday at ] p. m. not having
really regained his right mind at any
time. William Balzer Oldest son of
John Henry and Henrietta BsIzer
was born in the town of Westfeld
Sank Co. So or 81 years ago. The
family came to Cassell about 1860.
The children, Mary, William, and
Julius attended the CasselG .scho6
but never launched out with the
world as so many young people
choosing to remain at home. There
are many conjectures as to the rea-
son for this. Possibly there were sew
esal reasons but it is thought fore
most among them was the care of the
father for the welfare of the COM
munity and country. The mother for
thing Of an invalid, this illness caus-
ing at times mental troubles Mary
could do no less than stay at home to
care for her mother until her death.
That Mary had suitors, we all know,
but her father persuaded her and her
brothers that it would not be right
for them to marry with, as he sup
posed the certainty of one or ALL
inheriting their mothers mental
troubles and the possibility of pass
ing on the trouble to another genera
ton. We know nowadays that men
tai troubles are very often caused
by physical difficulties that are not
inherited but Mr. Balzer had been
taught other wise and deserves honor
for taking the stand he did.
The funeral Saturday was a
large one, the flowers were abundant
the same beautiful selections were
sung by the Sank City choir that
were sung for the brother and sister
and the services were conducted in
the Reformed church by the pastor
Rev. C. ]. Walenta, the keynote of
whose address was Watch. William
was laid to rest beside his parents
in the Cassell cemetery there being
Just room in the family lot for the
five. The community is shrouded in
gloom. 1t seems such terrible thing
to happen, such cold blooded, use
less butchery, for the house could
have been robbed and no one killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Fingerhut and
son Roy of Harrisburg were Sunday
visitors at III. J. Meng's and attended
services in the Cassell church.
George Evans and friend Mr.. Auer
of St. Louis and III. j. Sleeps of Bara-
boo were visitors at the r. S. Babing-
ton cottage Thursday The gentle
men came for a few hours fishing with
Mr.. Darlington.
Cars still go past in fleets bound for
The scene of the Balzer tragedy. Those
of us who live so near the scene can
hardly understand why people travel
so far to see the gruesome sights
when we would be so glad if there
were none to see.
Snake stories may be out OF date
Just now but the News asked for
them earlier. We killed fair sized
grass snake in our summer kitchen
the other day and tften find the little
spotted adders in the cellar, mil I
house etc. this time of the year. A
few weeks ago Mrs. La Verne OFT
nearly stepped on & huge RATHER very
near the house. We wonder do they
seek buildings as a refuge as fall
approaches?

came under the touch of the spirit OF
J Sod, which manifested itself in his
conversion at an afternoon prayer.

and marked his life's career with
strong christian manhood and most
consecrated service to Christ our
common Lord. When a young man
! during the Iabors of Rev. John Nickel
as pastor, Brother Schoeller respond
ed to the call Of the master into the
christian ministry and his life was
filed with fruitful labors unto its
very end.
While in preparation for his holy
calling to the ministry attending our
North Western college at Naperville,
I'll. he became acquainted with Miss
Agnes Good Their friendship thus
formed. eliminated in true devotion
and on June 18th 1900 they were
united in holy wedlock. Their mar
riage indeed was a happy one and
was blessed with five children -one
being born for the better world only
and four, Madelyn, Vernia, Robert,
and Marion being with the mother in
this hour of sorrow
During his ministry Of % years
Rev. Schoeller served the following
fields: Sharon two years as assistant
and Jefferson one year; Superior four
years: Chippewa Falls four years;
Berlin two years; Ripon four years;
Milwaukee Zion two years and Bara.
boo two years and four months.
While our departed brother was
not Of large physical stature he new
ertheless stood out as an able preach
er with unique personality. He was a
winner of souls. In his message as
well as in contact with his fellOwmen
could always be sensed that loving
spirit which characterized his life.
He was a loving husband and father,
a consecrated and faithful minister,
safe leader, and influential man
among men. At the height OF useful
ness he was called from labor to re-
ward Having served two years as
vice president of the state branch
of the Y. p A. and two years as pres
ident, he was chosen to be president
of our state Sunday school board,
which position he ably filed the past
seven years. His services also as
publicity chairman on the conference

special mention
The immediate cause of Brother

bravely he fought the battles of life
and proved faithful until his course
was finished. With a deep interest in
our state convention at Lomira re
would not be absent at this great s,n-
nual event Bein gstricken there with
very acute attack of suffering he
was taken to hospital at West Bend,
Wis, where in the early hour of Fri
day, August 18th 1922 his soul took
its flight to God. To mourn his early
departure are his Borrowing wife, one
son, three daughters and many friends
Surely at the end of his lifes earthly
day his are the works of our great
Saviour and Lord Thou good and
Faithful servant-enter thou into the
joy of thy Lord"

full eye, we say good night, companion
