Mr. Robert Feidler(sic), an old resident of Meeme, died Saturday morning at the
age of 74 years. He was born in Doebel, Saxon, Germany in 1847 and emigrated with
his parents to America at the age of 9 years, arriving at Milwaukee and living
there for two years, then they moved to the town of Newton. In 1858 his parents

to a young man he engaged in the carpentry trade and worked at the trade for a
number of years. In 1872 he was married to Margaret Bohne. After his marriage he
took over the old homestead and farmed up to about six years ago when he sold the
farm to his son-in-law, Mr. Louis Born, where the old couple resided. He is
