from a FAG member:
John Bertsch, who passed away in Providence hospital, Seattle, last week, was
buried from the Congregational church Saturday afternoon last, Rev. O. P. Avery
officiating. The deceased was one of the earlier settlers of Blaine, for many
years conducting a blacksmith shop here. Born in Switzerland in 1846, he came to
this country with his parents when 10 years of age and settled in Illinois.
Later the family removed to Wisconsin. In 1873 he was married to Miss Louisa
Mosher, to which union five children were born, all of whom with the mother
survive. Mr. Bertsch
has been in poor health for many months and about a year ago had to abandon
active work. Several weeks ago he went to Seattle for treatment, but without
relief.
