Tischendorf, Robert A. (1888 - 1956)

At 2 O'clock this afternoon (August 9, 1956), the Rev. Fred W. Kollath officiated at funeral services in Peace Evangelical Church for Robert A. Tischendorf.  The deceased was 68 years of age and was interred in the family plot in Dorchester Memorial Cemetery, Dorchester, Clark Co., Wisconsin.

A former resident of this community, Mr. Tischendorf suffered a heart attack at his home in Minocqua Monday. Robert was born June 3rd, 1888, in Germany, and came to Dorchester with his parents at age three. He engaged in farming in Mayville Township until about thirty years ago, when he moved to Minocqua.

His widow survives along with a son, Lloyd of Allen Grove, and a daughter, Mrs. Walter (Gladys) Buelow, Kenosha.  He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. Joel Winchell, Dorchester, Mrs. George Dahl, Ogema and Mrs. Ed Leichtnam, Abbotsford; 11 grandchildren.

His first wife, the former Clara Nelson, preceded him in death as did a daughter who died in infancy.  Another son, William, died in 1954, and Robert's brother William had also passed on.
