Brunner, Mathias (1865? - 4 Sep 1913)

Mathias Brunner, a former resident of this vicinity (Clark County, Wis.), died at his home at Ashland, Wis., on Thursday last. Mr. Brunner had been ill with typhoid fever for about two months and failing to withstand the ravages of the disease, he succumbed to the inevitable. He was forty-eight years of age. Since leaving here thirteen years ago he met with much success in soliciting life insurance risks for Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. He leaves a wife and two children, his aged mother, Mrs. M. Brunner, and brothers, Andrew Brunner of this place, Mike Brunner of Stratford, and George Brunner of Superior. The remains were brought here on Saturday, the funeral taking place on Monday from St. Bernard's Catholic Church, the Catholic Foresters, of which the deceased was an honored member, attending the same in a body.
