AUGUST GAUGER
BURIED FROM THE CHURCH WHICH HE HELPED TO FOUND
August Gauger, Buried at Cooperstown Yesterday, Was Last of Founders
of Lutheran Church at that Place
Last surviving member of the little band of pioneer settlers who a
half century ago founded the Lutheran church at Cooperstown, August
Gauger, early day resident of the county, was yesterday buried from
the church which he helped to establish and the funeral was one of
the largest known in that section in years, more than 80 automobiles
being in the funeral cortege, in addition to other vehicles. Rev.
Klonka officiated at the services.
Mr. Gauger's death was sudden and unexpected, being due to heart failure.
It had been his good fortune to enjoy robust health and despite the fact
that he was nearly 81 years of age at death, he had never known an ill
day in his life and had never been required to have the services of a
physician. Up to the very moment of his death he appeared in his usual
health. Seven children survive Mr. Gauger, whose wife died two years ago.
They are Henry and Mrs. Heise, Cooperstown; August, Kossuth; Mrs. F.
Radey; Mrs. Henrichs, Morrison and Mrs. Heim of De Pere.
Mr. Gauger was one of the best known men of his section and served a
number of terms as chairman of the town of Cooperstown. He was a veteran
of the Civil war, having served with the 11th Wisconsin infantry.
