Wasserberger, Charles (26 APR 1889 – 1 SEP 1918)
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wasserberger received a telegram on Saturday announcing that
their oldest son, Charles, had been killed in action in France on Sept. 1st.
Charley was born and raised in Neillsville and his death cast a shadow of gloom
over the hearts of his many friends here, but the fact that he died fighting for
his country alleviates the pain and sorrow to a great extent. He was born in
this city on April 26, 1889, and was 29 years of age. He attended school here
and then took up the mercantile business as a life work. A number of years ago
he and his father engaged in the general merchandise business in the
Wasserberger building on 7th Street and from a small beginning the business has
grown to unusual proportions, a great deal of this growth being due to the
efforts of the deceased. He enlisted in the old Co. A and went to Two Harbors,
Minn., with the boys, later going to Camp McArthur and from there going
overseas.
Charley was a fine young man, an enterprising citizen and a highly capable
merchant. He was conscientious in his dealings with all and well earned a
reputation for strict integrity and honesty. He made the supreme sacrifice and
his memory will long be a pleasant one in the minds of all who knew him well. He
is survived by his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Henry, Leo,
and Frank; Katie, Mrs. Chas. Sherman, Tillie, Leona, and Clara.
