Greenwood--Fred A. Limprecht Sr., 90 a former resident of Greenwood, Clark County, died Thursday, April 24, 1941 at Sheboygan, where he had been living with relatives since the death of his wife in Greenwood in 1934.

The body will arrive in Greenwood Saturday and will lie in state at the home of his son, Fred Limprecht Jr., where funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

The Rev. E.G. Pfeiffer of the Reformed Church will have charge of the services, and interment will be made in the Braun Settlement cemetery.

Fred August Limprecht, son of Moritz and Ernestine Limprecht, was born in Weimar, Saxony, Germany, Oct. 8, 1850, and came to Sheboygan with his parents in 1854. The family settled on a farm at Sheboygan Falls, where Mr. Limprecht attended rural schools.

He learned the carpenter trade after school hours, and later built a flour mill in Plymouth. For a period of three years he worked for eight dollars a month, learning the milling trade.

He was married in 1874 to Sidonia Seidel, after which they settled on a farm at Sheboygan Falls. In February, 1879, Mr. Limprecht and his hired man, Charles Kuester, came to Clark County near the Black River, 4 1/2 miles north of Greenwood, to the place formerly called Hemlock.

Here they built a flour mill, cleared land, and constructed a home for the family. The house now is occupied by a son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Limprecht Jr. After operating the mill for five years, he sold the business and went back to farming.
Mrs. Limprecht died in 1890, and in 1899 he was married to Bertha Kraemer of Hemlock, who died in 1934, shortly after he went to Sheboygan.

Surviving are two sons, Fred Jr., of Greenwood and William of the state of Washington, and a daughter, Mrs. Al (Sidonia) Armstrong, Greenwood.
