Kammerer, Anton (14 February 1871 - 6 January 1957)  
 

Anton Kammerer, 85, of Route 1, Neillsville, died Sunday morning at his farm home of old age complications. He had been in ill health since suffering a stroke a year and a half ago. 
 

Mr. Kammerer was born February 14, 1871, in Hungary.  He grew to manhood there and in 1894 was married to Katherine Keller.  They continued to live in Hungary until 1907, when they came to the United States, settling in Chicago.  After a short time they moved to Des Plaines, Ill., and in 1934 they moved onto their present farm in the Town of Pine Valley.  Mr. Kammerer was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church at Neillsville.  
 

Surviving are the following children: Anton Kammerer, Jr., Chicago; George Kammerer, Des Plaines, Ill.; Joseph Kammerer, on the home farm; and Mrs. Glenn (Mary) White, Neillsville.  Six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive.
