Charles Wilke died Monday evening at his home
southeast of the city, following a stroke of paralysis. Deceased was born in
Germany and was 58 years, 2 months of age. He came to the United States in 1883
and on Sept. 10, 1886 was united in marriage to Henrietta Simons at Elkhorn.
They resided in Walworth County for 14 years and on Nov. 3, 1897, they came to

Reinhold Pagenkopf, Mrs. John Counsell, Arnold, Clara, and Helen, the latter
three living at home.
Mr. Wilke was a man of high integrity and worth and

many friends. The funeral will be held today at 12 o’clock at the house and
interment will be made in the Neillsville Cemetery.
