Tischendorf, Clara Margaret (14 Mar. 1890 - 26 Mar. 1941)

Funeral services for Mrs. Robert Tischendorf, 51, who passed away at her home in Minocqua, on March 26, were held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 from the Kraut Funeral Home and at 2:00 o’clock from the Peace Evangelical Church at Dorchester, Wis. Rev. J. J. Hoffmann read the services and internment was made in Memorial cemetery.

Mrs. Tischendorf, nee Clara Margaret Nelson, was born on March 14, 1890, at Abbotsford, Wis. She was a member of the first graduating class of the Abbotsford High School. She was baptized and confirmed at the Norwegian Lutheran Church in Dorchester, Wis.

As a young woman Mrs. Tischendorf taught school in the Clovernook school near Curtiss and the Cleveland school north of the village of Dorchester, Wis.

Mr. and Mrs. Tischendorf were married in Dorchester Sept. 6, 1911, and lived on a farm north east of here until 1924. They then moved to Minocqua where Mr. Tischendorf started in the contracting business.

Some time ago, Mr. Tischendorf turned his contracting business over to his sons and with his wife started a resort on Fence lake, near Minocqua.

Mrs. Tischendorf had suffered from heart trouble for some time, but did not consider the ailment very serious until about two weeks ago, when a slight stroke forced her into bed for several days. She visited a physician last Wednesday evening and a few minutes after returning from the call, a second and fatal stroke brought death.

One daughter preceded her in death. Besides her husband, she is survived by two sons, Lloyd and William, and one daughter, Mrs. Gladys Buelow, all of Minocqua; a brother, Albert Nelson, Abbotsford; two sisters, Mrs. William Schultz, Cornell; and Mrs. Robert Virgin, Trempeleau; and three grand children.

The pallbearers were Robert Bentz, William Tessmer, Frank Kraut, William Klessig, Richard Schmidt and Henry Rau.
