Machlett, Fred (6 June 1878 - 13 Mar. 1948)

Funeral services for Fred Machlett, who died unexpectedly, Saturday morning, were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock at the Evangelical Lutheran church at Curtiss after which internment was made in the parish cemetery. The Rev. G. E. Borreson was the officiating minister.

The pallbearers were George Hoff, Lee Smiley, Grant Herrick, John Michlig, Alfred Erickson, and Albert Klessig.

Fred Machlett was born in Curtiss, June 6, 1878. He lived most of his life in Curtiss, with the exception of a short period in Abbotsford in 1923 and 1924, and about ten years in Owen.

He was employed as manager of the O. & N. Lumber company until they sold to the Peter Bootzin company, where he was manager at the time of his death. Mr. Machlett was on his way to work when he was stricken with a heart attack and died at his home very shortly afterward.

He is survived by his widow, Christina Hanson Machlett, one son, Henry, Cleveland, Ohio; a brother, Ben Machlett, Eau Claire; and a sister, Mrs. O. C. (Rosa) Cox, Kennan, all of whom attended the funeral.
