Stacke, Carl Frederick (16 Aug. 1868 - 13 Dec. 1930)

Mr. Carl Frederick Stacke died at the Marshfield hospital Saturday, December 13th, at 9:15 A.M., cancer of the stomach of ten months duration being the cause of his departure. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, December 16th, at the Reformed church, Rev. H. K. Hartman officiating, and internment was made in the Colby cemetery (Colby, Wisconsin).

The deceased was born in Germany August 16th, 1868, thus reaching the age of sixty-two years, four months and twenty-seven days. He came to the United States on October 9th, 1891, and came directly to Clark county. He was married to Augusta Dombrowe in Neillsville on January 10, 1896, and came to Colby nineteen years ago and engaged in the business of farming. He is survived by his wife and eleven children, namely: Mrs. Fred Krueger, Green Grove; Mrs. Frank Rieve, Racine; Emma, Chicago; Louise, Chicago; Frieda, Chicago; Herman, Adolph, William, Walter, Adeline, Ethel.

He was a member of the Reformed church and a good Christian of excellent habits, fine moral character, a practical matter of fact man and was not disposed to worry about matters. This cheerful spirit remained with him to the last and he retained his clearness of intellect up to his closing days. He was invariably a good neighbor and his family circle was a happy one.
