Beller, John (1869 - 20 Nov 1901)

John Beller, residing on a farm about one mile north of the village (Thorp, Clark Co., Wis.), was taken ill on Sunday evening, Nov. 17, and continued to gradually fail until Wednesday forenoon following, when death relieved him from his sufferings. He was still a young man, being but thirty-two years of age, and came here from Germany eight years ago last spring. The fuenral, which was very largely attended, was held from St. Bernard's Catholic Church in this village on Saturday morning, Rev. Father Beyer officiating. The deceased leaves a wife and five small children.
