Charles Tesch
Charles Tesch, aged 62 years, one of the founders of the Standard Lime and Stone company of this city, and superintendent of its plant at Oakfield, died this morning at St. Agnes hospital after a short illness. Mr. Tesch was taken ill last Saturday and his condition became so serious that he was removed to the hospital Tuesday evening. He was suffering from cancer and peritonitis later developed.
Mr. Tesch resided in Brillion before coming to this county. He was engaged in business there and also owned a large tract of land at Valders. Several years ago he moved to Oakfield, where he became superintendent of the company's plant.
The deceased is survived by a widow, two daughters, Mrs. E. H. Kloehn of Brillion, and Mrs. Edward Peirne of Oakfield, and two sons, George of Oakfield and Edward of Chicago, who were all at his bedside when he died. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Frank Wenk, of Marinette, and four brothers, William of Appleton, Frank of Chilton, and John and Jacob of Brillion. Fond du Lac Reporter
The above announcement will be read with deep regret by many Calumet County people and more especially those residing in the village of Brillion and tributary country where Mr. Tesch spent the greater portion of his life. For some years he was a leading merchant and grain buyer at Brillion. His father, Christian Tesch, was a pioneer of Brillion town. On Thursday afternoon of last week, Frank Tesch of this city, a brother of the deceased, accompanied by his wife, drove to Fond du Lac to visit him.

After a life of many achievements, some vicissitudes, but strenuous activity always, Charles Tesch breathed his last at St. Agnes Hospital, Fond du Lac, on Saturday, July 11th after a lingering illness the cause of death being peritonitis. Immediately after the news of Mr. Tesch death reached here, Village President Mumm caused the U.S. flag to be displayed at half-staff in the city hall, the decedent, during his residence here, having filled various public offices and was also Chief of our fire department, when the great fire devastated our city. The valiant and efficient services he rendered on that day
have never been forgotten by our people.
The body was brought to this city Saturday evening and taken to the Dr. E.H. Kloeh home on Tr?? Street. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the Evangelical church, services being conducted by Rev. Koten. Interment was in the village cemetery. The pallbearers were E. H. Lyons, H.S. Hamilton, Wm Heimke, Peter Ohlsen, John Bringmann and Dr. I.N. McComb. The floral tributes were beautiful and elaborate and Rev. Koten's address was eloquent and impressive. Besides the sorrowing wife the deceased is survived by two sons, Edward, Chicago and George at Oakfield; two daughters, Mrs. E.H. Kloehn, city and Mrs. Ed Bierne of Oakfield. The father, Christian Tesch of Appleton also survives. Four brothers and one sister survive, the brothers being John and Jacob, well known farmers north of city, William of Appleton and Frank of Chilton. The sister is Mrs. J.F. Wenk of Marinette.
Chas. Tesch was born in Germany in 1851. He came to America with his parents in 1855, the family locating at Waukesha. In 1861 the family came to this section settling on the homestead north of here. In 1875 Mr. Tesch was united in marriage to the wife who now survives him, her maiden name being Rica Kasch. At that time, Brillion was known by the name of Spring Creek. He engaged in the mercantile business. He was a member of the first board of trustees of the village and also held the office of village president later. For many years he was chief of the fire department and as such showed himself to be a man of remarkable courage and judgement on various occasions when conflagrations threatened the city. He was likewise a member of the Modern Woodmen, Oakfield Camp. At the time of his death he was superintendent of the lime plant at Oakfield, Wis. Decedent, as we knew him, was a man of many lovable qualities and very active and energetic in any enterprise which he undertook. While a resident of our city, he was always foremost in promoting popular enterprises and his assistance could invariably be counted upon, often at great cost to himself. He did not escape the tribulations that life always hold for active men. He had his troubles. Perhaps he even had his enemies. But now that he has gone to his long rest, let heed be taken of his many good services, his numerous act of kindness and let the mantle of charity rest mercifully o'er his grave.
Those from out of town who attended the funeral were: Christian Tesch and Mr. and Mrs. Will Tesch and Mrs. Will Furstenburg and son, Mark of Appleton; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tesch, Miss Josie Law and Dan Jones of Chilton; Mr. and Mrs. John Wenk of Marinette; Henry Horn of Loyal; Mrs. A. Bahr and daughter and Miss Evelyn Furstenburg of Marshfield; E.H. Lyons and W.I. Hamilton of Fond du lac; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Kraus, Mrs. Carl Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Kraus of New Loondon; Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien, Mike Guill, Martin Rippel and Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Zipperer of Quarry.
