Louis Namz, Sr., one of the pioneer residents of this place, answered the summons of Death Thursday evening. He was 76 years of age and his demise was due primarily to infirmities incident to old age.

Mr. Namz was born in Germany and when a young man came to this country with his parents and other relatives, settling at Two Rivers where he married Miss Albertine Leitz and then moved to a farm in Cooperstown. Shortly after this he enlisted in the Civil war where he served a term of 18 months, and fought in a number of important battles. He returned here where he spent the last half century of his life.

His wife died in 1880. Later he married Elizabeth Schnesa who with five children now survive him. They are Walter, Edward and August at home. The children surviving by the former marriage are Mrs. Lydia Stueps of Milwaukee, Mrs. Ella Roebein of Pittsfield, Mrs. Martha McKuen of Green Bay and George Namz of this place.

Mr. Namz was a kind and indulgent father, a good neighbor and a man who was respected by all who knew him. The high esteem in which he was held was proved by the large number who attended the last sad rites and followed the remains to their last resting place on Sunday afternoon.

Rev. W. Gleaser performed the funeral services.
