Thiede, Herman (1854? - 15 Jan 1921)

Herman Thiede died suddenly Saturday night about 8:30 o’clock at his home south of Granton, Clark County, Wis. He went out to pull the windmill into gear to set the pump going. His wife thought she heard him call, and going out saw him stagger. She caught him as he sank down, but he died immediately. He was 66 years old and was born in Germany. He came to Clark County many years ago and developed a fine farm in the town of Grant. He was an honest industrious man and had many friends. He leaves his wife and five children: Mrs. Gus Garbusch of York, Mrs. Ed Wiesner of Lynn, Miss Emma Thiede at home, Ewald, who carries on the home farm, and Margaret Thiede, who teaches in Pennsylvania. By a strange coincidence she was on her way home and arrived the day after her father died.

The funeral was held Wednesday at the Lutheran Church at Granton.
