Nicholas Baldeschwiler, aged fifty-six years and nine months, died at his home in this village (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.) on Thursday, Aug. 27, 1914.

The funeral, which took place at St. Bernard's Church on Sunday afternoon last, was very largely attended, Father Neises officiating. He leaves a devoted wife and four children, all resident here as follows: Anton Baldeschwiler, Mrs. Louis Henke and Misses Mary and Anna Baldeschwiler, also five brothers, Alois Baldeschwiler of the town of Worden and four others still residents of Germany. Interment took place in the Catholic Cemetery.
