WILLIAM MAAS
(1862 - 1937)
DEATH CAUSED BY A SCRATCH
Infection After Chicken Scratch Proves Fatal To Farmer
A scratch on the hand suffered when he was feeding chickens in the yard of his farm at Kossuth March 26, and from which an infection resulted, caused the death Sunday night of William Maas, 75, life-long resident of the county.
Maas's death occurred on the eve of his golden wedding anniversary. Had he lived until tomorrow he and Mrs. Maas would have observed 50 years of wedded life.
Funeral Wednesday
Mr. Maas went in the hen house on the farm a week ago Friday. While throwing feed to the hens one of them flew up and scratched Maas on the hand. He paid little attention to the scratch. Infection set in and his condition grew steadily worse until his death last night. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m., from the First Reformed church, the Rev. Gilbert Wernecke officiating. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery.
Mr. Maas, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Maas, was born on the homestead, Route 2, Two Rivers in 1862. At the death of his father he took over operation of the farm. He married Miss Ottelia Kluzinski, April 6, 1887.
Widow Survives
Survivors are the widow; four daughters, Olga and Alma, on the home farm, Mrs. Elmer Groelle, Kossuth, and Mrs. Louis Wilde, Manitowoc Rapids.
The body is at the Pfeffer funeral home and may be viewed there from Tuesday morning until Wednesday at 10 a.m., when it will be moved to the First Reformed church.
