Casper Aberly Passed Away on Tuesday Evening
Casper Aberly passed away at his home in this city Tuesday evening, Feb. 4th, death being due to a complication of diseases. He had been failing in health since last October, and for eleven days was confined to his bed. Death, however, came very unexpectedly and his wife was alone with him when the summons came.
Mr Aberly was born in Wittenberg, Germany, July 5th, 1853, and when twenty-seven years of age came to this country. He came direct to Crystal Falls which for thirty-eight years has been is home. The railroads were unknown in this part of the country at that time and he made the trip here from Florence by team. The following year the railroad was build to Crystal Falls.
He was engaged in the saloon business in this city for twenty-five years, and the building between Ruwitch's store and Joe Rossi confectionery was erected by him and was among the first buildings in this city.
Thirty-two years ago Mr. Aberly and Miss Julia Gursky were united in marriage, the ceremony taking place here. The bride, who was also born in Germany, had been in this country six weeks before her wedding day and had never met her husband before coming here.
Five children were born to this union, four of whom with the wife and mother survive. They are: George, Crystal Falls; Casper, Escanaba; Thomas, Crystal Falls, and Herman, who is with Co. B, 21st Engineers, in France. Herman is expected home soon, and his father often expressed the wish that he might live long enough to see him again.
Deceased was devoted to his home and family and was always deeply interested in their welfare. Among us all he always ranked as a kind neighbor and a true friend.
Funeral services were conducted Friday at 2 o'clock from the late home of deceased. Rev. Brockman officiating and those who bore him to his last resting place were Ernest Diele, Otto Geske, Fred Schmidt. Jno. Bauer, Chas. Neugebauer and John Bender.
