OSULD T. BREDESEN
Ex-Judge Bredesen Dies at Age of 65
MANITOWOC-Osuld T. Bredesen, judge of Municipal Court 18 years and
a veteran of World War I, died Monday night at Maplecrest Sanitorium,
Whitelaw, following a long illness. He was 65.
Judge Bredesen, a native of Stoughton, Wis., where he was born Aug. 16,
1893, served municipal court from May 1, 1933, until his resignation
June 1, 1951. He succeeded the late Judge Albert H. Schmidt, who served
in that capacity 28 years.
At the time Judge Bredesen resigned Harold W. Mueller was appointed by
Gov. Kohler to be seated on the bench in his place, a position he has had
continuously since. Judge Bredesen retired because of physical disabilities
midway in his fifth four-year term.
The Order of the Purple Heart has been presented to Judge Bredesen Dec. 7,
1932, by the War Department for his gallantry in the first war. He served
for 13 months and was a member of the Second Division, Fifth Regiment, of
the U.S. Marine corps. He held the rank of corporal.
Wounded in France
The judge was seriously wounded during the historic battle of Belleau Wood
in France June 6, 1918. He and two other marines were the only ones of his
company to survive. The machine gun wounds were so severe that the judge
was unable to return to active duty.
It was while he was recuperating from these war wounds at Camp Barry, Great
Lakes, Ill., that he married Stella Engeldinger April 5, 1920. A Marine
chaplain performed the ceremony.
The son of the late Rev. Adolph and Inanda Torrison Bredesen attended Luther
college at Decorah, Iowa, for a year before enrolling at Marquette University
School of Law. He was graduated from the Wisconsin school in 1924 and moved
to Manitowoc where he began the practice of law. He also was credit manager
for the O. Torrison Co.
The judge and a buddy, Thomas Rowley, of Chicago were reunited at Manitowoc
in March of 1937. The chance meeting occurred when the judge read a notice
inserted by Rowley in a Veterans publication.
Five Children
Shortly after Judge Bredesen resigned his judgeship he and Mrs. Bredesen
disposed of their residence at 1117 S. Eighth St., and moved to Venice, Fla.,
where a brother, the Rev. Alfred Bredesen, served a church. The Bredesens
returned to Manitowoc in February of last year and established residence at
803 Pine St.
The Bredesens observed their silver wedding anniversary in 1945, an occasion
for them to recall the 13th anniversary of their wedding, for it was April 5,
1933, that he was elected municipal judge.
Judge Bredesen was a member of Drews-Bleser Post, American Legion, Wisconsin
Bar Assn., Elks Lodge, 40 ?? ? of the Legion and the Eagles Aerie of this city.
He is survived by his wife, three sons, (private); two daughters,(private);
a brother, the Rev. Mr. Bredesen of LaCrosse; two sisters, Mr. G.A. Sundby and
Mrs. Inga Norstog of Decorah, Iowa, and 13 grandchildren.
Funeral services will be at 3 p.m. Thursday at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home
with the Rev. Arthur Johnson officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery
where military rites will be accorded by the Drews-Bleser Post.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 3 p.m. Wednesday.
