A.K. BREED DIES AT MILWAUKEE.
A sudden death and one that saddened our community to an unusual extent occurred at St. Joseph’s hospital, Milwaukee, on Sunday morning the 16th, when Alexander K. Breed, of this city, passed quietly away. A notice of the accident in which the deceased fell from a wagon a month ago, and ruptured one of his kidneys, was given in a previous issue of The Times. Attendant upon the accident came the necessity of a surgical operation and he was taken to Milwaukee on Saturday Nov. 8th, and operated upon by a physician of that city. The result was not what had been hoped for and he underwent a second operation on Nov. 15th, rallying for a while, though finally giving up the struggle for life. His wife, mother and father were with him when the end came and conveyed his remains to this city for burial.
The funeral took place from the Congregational church on Wednesday, Rev. Sanders, of Appleton officiating and was one of the largest ever held in the church. Friends of he family, and particularly of the deceased, were present in large numbers and the fire department, of which he was an active member attended in uniform and escorted the remains to the Breed cemetery where they were laid away.
Alexander K. Breed was born in this city June 6th, 1874. He attended the public schools until 20 years of age and since that time has engaged principally in farming. He was married Oct. 20, 1898, to Miss Daisy Wescot, taking charge of the Breed homestead on which they lived. He was an active member of the fire department for eight years and held the position of oil inspector for Calumet county for three years. He was also a member of the Royal Arcanum.
Mr. Breed was an exemplary young man, energetic and kind, cheerful and helpful in all situations. He hadn’t an enemy in the world and his friends were many, both among the young and old. His death was indeed, a great sorrow and universal sympathy is extended to his bereft young wife, father and mother, brother and sister.
