Jacob Kunz, one of our most popular policemen, died in the city hospital in Waukesha at 8 o'clock Saturday evening. The cause of death was given as blood poisoning.
Mr. Kunz had ailed for a number of years, but was able to attend to his regular duties up to recently, when his condition became so acute that he went to Waukesha to take mudbath treatments for rheumatism. Sanitarium physicians diagnosed his illness as blood poison. He grew worse and was removed to the city hospital of Waukesha. Last week Tuesday his wife was called to his bedside. Two days later an operation was performed upon him as a last measure for saving his life, but it was without avail.
The deceased was born in this city 42 years ago and lived here all his life. Eighteen years ago he was united in marriage to Carry Johnson, to which union six children were born, two of whom died in infancy. Besides his widow, Mr. Kunz leaves four children, Freeman, age 16; Margaret, 9; Frank, 7; and Anita, 8 months old, and the following brothers and sisters: Charles and Stephen Kunz, city; Louis Kunz, Bengal, Minn.; Mrs. Henry Robinson, Roosevelt, Arizona; Mrs. Fred Rossman, Neillsville, and Mrs. John G. Hoelz, city. He was a member of the Eagle lodge.
Mr. Kunz was a kind, provident husband and father and a highly respected citizen, whose loss has caused a widespread reign of sorrow in the city. He was on the police force the past eleven years and proved himself to be a brave, judicious and accommodating officer—one who always tried to be fair and impartial in the performance of his duties, in which efforts he was very successful. As a city tribute to his memory the flag on the city hall tower was lowered to half-mast when the sad intelligence of his death was received.
The funeral was set for yesterday afternoon with the service at his late home, Rev. Thom officiating. The members of the police force acted as honorary pallbearers.
