ST NAZIANZ – On Monday Mr. Wm. Birkle Sr., one of our old time residents, was called to his reward, after a lingering illness with cancer, for which he underwent an operation last August.
Decedent was born in Hohstettin, Baden, German, May 22, 1838. He emigrated to America in 1866, first settling in Hayton. Since 1888 he has been a resident of St. Nazianz. He was married twice; his first wife was Theresa Currie, whom he wedded in 1869; she died in 1894 of cancer. His second marriage was to Theresa Strupp in 1896, who survives him, with one adopted son, William, who is at present supervisor of commercial education at Sheboygan.
Mr. Birkle reached the ripe old age of 83 years, 8 months and 14 days. He conducted a cobbler’s shop here for many years, and was well known and respected.
The funeral took place on Wednesday forenoon after services in St. Gregory’s church. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
