Fred John Dresselhaus died at his home in this city Thursday evening following a brief illness, due to pneumonia.

He was born in Union City township Feb. 2, 1868, and he and his family have made New Albin their home the past five years.

He was engaged in the garage business. The death of Mr. Dresselhaus occasions particular sorrow among his many friends. A man of strict integrity and high principles, he won esteem of all who knew him. His devotions to his wife and family and genuine hospitality to all, serve to cherish his memory among many.

Besides his wife, he is survived by six children, Richard, Leslie, Esther, Raymond, Carl, Mildred who are at home. He also leaves six sisters and two brothers.

The largely attended funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the residence to the Methodist Episcopal church at 2 o'clock, of which the deceased was a faithful member, Rev. Walter Pieper officiated and burial was made in the New Albin cemetery.

The casket bearers were Geo. Kumpf, Nicholas Fink, R.G. May, H.J. Reiser Henry Wuennecke and Andrew Sandry.
