AUGUST QUISTORF
After an illness of nine weeks duration, August Quistorf died at his
home in this village at 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon. His funeral
occurred at 2 o'clock yesterday aftenoon under the auspices of the Sons
of Hermann of which order he was an honored member. The funeral oration
was pronounced by Mr. Florian Ott, and was a fitting tribute to the
virtues of the orator's dead friend and lodge brother. Mr. Quistorf was
born in Holstein in 1839. He served his term in the German army and took
part in the war between Austria and Prussia in 1866. In July 1868, he
emigrated from his native land to America and on reaching this soil came
directly to Mishicott where he has ever since resided. He took an active
part in the affairs of this town, and at various times was elected to
local offices. A man of liberal education himself, he liked to see
others educated and was always in for good teachers and a good school.
His death is a heavy blow to his wife and children, five in number, to
whom he was a kind husband and father. To his aged mother who has been
a helpless invalid for the past ten years the shock may prove fatal. The
bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.
