Frederick Sircher Chilton Times January 24, 1873
Died at his residence, adjacent to this village, on Thursday, the 22d inst., Frederick Sircher, aged 58 years on the 1st day of December last.
The announcement of his decease at one o'clock and eighteen minutes p.m., after a short illness was a severe chock to all of his fellow citizens, and particularly to his long time friends and neighbors who knew his sterling worth and admired his manly qualities, and we didn't meet a person whose expression of countenance was not mournful. In fact the whole community seemed to be clouded in gloom when the sad new was heralded around.
Mr. Sircher was a native of Wurtenberg, Germany, and emigrated to the United States in 1839. He located in Ohio and until 1847 worked at his trade – a blacksmith- when by his industry he accumulated wealth sufficient to purchase a home in the last mentioned year in little, but intelligent, Calumet county, then considered "out West" where he resided until the Grand Master of the Universe sounded his gavel calling him to "the undiscovered country from whose bourne not traveler returns."
He several time occupied the position of chairman of County and town boards (as well as other official stations) and in his official capacity we never heard a word of fault found. He was a man, in fact and deed, no matter where you placed him, and no person ever disputed his word when given in earnest. He was the second settler here—Moses Stanton being the first—and his genial manner and genuine kindness to our early pioneers, in hours of distress or danger will never be forgotten, while life last in the bosoms of those who knew him well. He has passed away and when the sprig of acacia is east into the grave, and his earthly form returned to Earth his good example will ever remain as a land mark for honest and virtuous fellow beings.
He was twice married and the father of ten children –four by the first wife and 6 by the present bereft woman. Fred and Caroline are all that survive both parents while Mrs. Sircher has five children on her hands to care and provide for until they reach the "days of usefulness; but "the preparing for the rainy day," to which her husband was accustomed will render the task to higher one that usually falls to the lot of widowed mothers.
