KARL MACHMILLER, PASTOR
(1855 - 1945)
TO END LONG PASTORATE
On July 14, this year, Rev. Karl Machmiller of this city will round out a half century in the ministry. He has announced that on that date he will retire. Mr. Machmiller has been the pastor of the local German Evangelical Lutheran Congregation for almost forty years.
In that time, he has not only endeared himself to his flock but he has impressed his character upon the community. He has not attempted to go outside his sphere or reform the political and social life of the people. He has evidently construed his call to preach the Gospel to mean just that, and he has done it with devotion and singleness of purpose. This and a rigid adherence to the principles of Christian rectitude, a helpful spirit and a kindly nature have earned for Rev. Karl Machmiller such esteem of his fellow citizens of all creeds and no creed that his abandonment of his labor in the vineyard as the evening begins to be presaged will cause unanimous regret where he has toiled so long and faithfully.

VETERAN PASTOR LEAVES
Rev. Karl Machmiller, fifty seven years in the ministry and thirty-seven in the local charge preached his farewell sermon at the German Evangelical Lutheran Church at Marshal and Eighth Streets Sunday morning. He spoke in both German and English. One main point was that the occasion should be one of joy, not sorrow, a happy leave taking that could be remembered for years without pain. He was however visibly affected. The church was decorated with countless gifts of flowers.
In the afternoon there was a big picnic at Silver Creek park. Here Henry Detjen, president on behalf of the congregation presented the retiring pastor with a purse of $1000. The Marine band added immensely to the occasion and the men's choir gave enjoyable numbers.
Mr. Machmiller said that he did not propose to quit working but would take a rest for a time. He left for Janesville where a daughter resides. He is to be succeeded by Rev. L. Keoninger, coming from a charge at North Fond du lac. Mr. Machmiller leaves here after decades of service with the love of his flock and the respect of every resident of the city. He has lived a life of service and has been true to the best traditions of the Christian ministry.

Pastor 37 Years of German Evangelical Lutheran Church
The Rev. Karl Machmiller, 90, had spent 50 years in the ministry, 37 years of which he was pastor of the First German Evangelical Lutheran church in this city, died early this afternoon at the Holy Family hospital.
He retired as pastor of the church here, in July, 1928. In recent years he has been making his home at the hospital.
Funeral plans are incomplete and will be announced Monday.
Born in Watertown, Wis., in 1855 the Rev. Machmiller was graduated from Northwestern college, Watertown, and received his theological education at the Evangelical Lutheran seminary at St. Louis, where he was graduated in 1878.
Came To City in 1891
He was assigned to a parish at Fairbanks, Iowa, where he stayed six years. Then he went to Lowell, Wis., to assume a pastorate and in March, 1891, he came here to head the German Lutheran congregation at Eighth and Marshall streets.
The pastor married Miss Martha Fuerstnau, when a young man and she took an active interest with him in his church duties. She died January 18, 1928. The Rev.
