NEILLSVILLE PRESS (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.) 05/08/1924 Dodte, Carl F. (28
FEB 1854 - 5 May 1924) Carl F. Dodte, a
prominent farmer of Pine Valley, Clark County, Wis., died Monday
noon, May 5, 1924, at his home east of the city. He had been in
declining health for some time and had received all the help could
be given by medical attention and kindly care in the home. Carl Frederick
Dodte was born in the Province of Saxony, Germany, Feb. 28, 1854;
he was therefore 70 years, 2 months and 5 days old at the time of
his death. He came to this country at the age of 28 years, and
settle in New Iberia, Louisiana. He was there married to Wilhelmina
Pohle, also from Germany, a year after his arrival in America. They
lived in Louisiana a year, but on account of the climate, they came
north to Neillsville and have made this their home ever since. He
was an industrious and enterprising farmer and developed a fine
farm and home. He was quiet and thoughtful in manner, but had
definite opinions on both business and public matters and was
considered on of our very best citizens. He leaves to his family
and to this community the legacy of a worthy, well spent life. He is survived by
his wife and six children: a daughter, Elsie, Mrs. Walter Beilfuss,
lives at Withee; Olga, Mrs. O. W. Schoengarth, in Neillsville; Carl
G. at Spokane, Wash.; Miss Clarice Dodte at home; Miss Blanche in
Seattle, and Bernard at home. He leaves also four
grandchildren. The funeral will
be held Saturday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Donnell
officiating. The Modern Woodmen, of which order deceased was a
member, will attend. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
