Reichersamer, Ludwig (31 July 1905 - 18 Feb.
1953)
Funeral services for Ludwig Reichersamer, 47, who
died Wednesday evening, are planned for Sunday afternoon at 2:00
o’clock at the Presbyterian church. Burial will be made in
the Abbotsford cemetery. The body is reposing at the Zink Funeral
Home.
Mr. Reichtersamer was suddenly stricken ill,
Sunday afternoon, about 3:30, at Stratford. The family had
been visiting Mrs. Reichersamer’s sister, Mrs. Charles
Severt, and was preparing to leave. Mr. Reichersamer had started
the car motor and came back to the house, when he became violently
ill. He was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph’s hospital,
Marshfield. On Tuesday, he lapsed into unconsciousness and remained
in that state until his death at 7:00 o’clock Wednesday
evening. An autopsy showed a brain inflammation caused by a virus.
Ludwig Reichersamer was born July 31, 1905, in
Neufahren, Naderbayern, Bavaria. Here he received his grade school
education and served three years as apprentice shoemaker. His
sister, Mrs. John Ettlinger, came to St. Paul in 1926 and two years
later sent for her brother. He stayed with her until 1930 and then
established a shoe repair shop in Dorchester, Wis. He moved to
Abbotsford about three years later to a building since replaced by
the present post office. Some years later, he built the building
where, until his illness, he operated a shoe store and shoe repair
shop.
On Sept. 30, 1934, he was married to Miss Ethel
Buell, of Route 1, Abbotsford, at St. Paul, Minn.
Mr. Reichersamer was a member of the Presbyterian
church, of Abbotsford, and the Abbotsford Free and Accepted Masons,
which organization will conduct Masonic rites at the funeral. He
held the office of junior deacon of the lodge.
Surviving are his widow and three sons, Roger, 17, Jack, 14, and Bob, 13, all at home. His sister, Mrs. John (Rosa) Ettlinger, lives in St. Paul. Two brothers, Jacob and John and a sister, Mrs. Anna Bichleder, still reside in Neufahren.
