Reitcel, Henry (15 AUG 1825 - 25 DEC 1909)

Last Saturday morning Henry Reitcel passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Peter Gaden.  He was born in Germany on Aug. 15, 1825, and when 25 years of age came to this country to follow his trade of a stone mason.  He married Mary Stock and to this union three children were born, all of whom survive their parents.  They are Jos. Reitcel, Mrs. Peter Gaden and Mrs. Pat Kelly.  He is also survived by nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.  His wife died just 32 years ago on the same day of the month on which Mr. Reitcel died.

Mr. Reitcel has been a resident of this city (Neillsville, Clark Co., Wis.) for about 25 years, and during all that time has demonstrated himself as an honorable, conscientious and trustworthy man.  The funeral occurred Monday from St. Mary’s Church.
