Major league baseball player 1900-1902. Pitcher and position player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Americans and the Philadelphia Athletics.
B. J. Husting, a native of Mayville who gained prominence as an athlete and later in politics and government affairs, died suddenly in a Milwaukee hospital on Friday. He had suffered from a heart ailment for several years, and had gone, to the city for a physical check-up. His sudden death was a great shock to the people of the community.
Although his parents, John Pierre and Mary Juneau Husting, had named him Berthold Juneau, he was always known as "Pete". He was born here Mar. 6, 1878, and after being graduated from Mayville High school, he entered the University of Wisconsin, where he was active in baseball and football. Following his graduation from the law school, he was a pitcher with Pittsburgh, Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics. One of the floral tributes at the funeral was a bouquet of 70 red roses from his old manager, Connie Mack, of the Athletics. Pete and Connie were life-long friends, and Pete often went to Chicago to see the Athletics play and to visit his old manager.
Following his marriage to Agnes Sternberger on Aug. 27, 1902, he entered the practice of law with his brothers in Fond du Lac. When his brother Paul was elected U. S. senator, Pete and his family returned to Mayville, and he practiced law here until his death.
In 1933 he was appointed U. S. attorney for the eastern district, and remained in that office until ill health forced him to restrict his activities in 1944. Pete had long been active in the Democrat party. He was a delegate to the national convention in 1932. Among his other activities were offices he held as circuit court commissioner, attorney for the Dodge County Farm Draining Board, and president of the Dodge County Bar association. He also served as a member of the county board for five years.
Pete took an active part in the fight to open Horicon marsh for public hunting, and later helped the landowners win their fight to proper compensation for the lands used for the wild life preserve. For many years he was a member of Bluewing Hunting club, but ill health forced him to give up his hunting trips to Rush lake.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Koepsell Funeral Home. The speaker was E. J. Koelzer, assistant U. S. attorney, of Milwaukee, who was associated with Mr. Husting during his tenure as U. S. attorney. Burial was in Graceland cemetery.
The funeral was attended by many of Pete's friends from all parts of the state. A partial list of those from outside the county follows:
Judge F. Ryan Duffy, Judge A. C. Backus, Robert Uihlein, Mr. and Mrs. Timothy T. Cronin, Frank Kuhl, Dr. and Mrs. E. G. Bruder, Charles Reisimer, Robert Kuenzi, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Weber, Carl E. Dietze, Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Dohearty, Howard Hilgendorf, all of Milwaukee;
