Burial To Take Place From The Late Home of The Deceased on North Fifth Street
Funeral services for Mrs. Joseph Willott Jr., 72, who passed away
late Thursday afternoon at the hospital here, will be held Monday
afternoon at two o'clock from the late home, 436 North Fifth street,
it was announced today. The remains will be removed to the home from
the Frazier mortuary on Saturday. The services will be in charge of

The death of Mrs. Willott followed several weeks of illness, after
her return from the Mayo clinic at Rochester, where she underwent an
operation. She suffered a relapse after a three weeks' stay at home,
and six weeks ago was removed to the hospital here, where she failed
rapidly.
Born at Two Rivers
The deceased, whose maiden name was Bertha Endress, was born at Two
Rivers, July 7, 1858. She was the only daughter in a family of five,
children of Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Endress. Her father followed the
fishing industry on Lakes Michigan and Superior. He operated a fleet
of tugs and when but thirteen years old the deceased used to accompany
her father and the fishing crews to the camps at Whitefish Point, in
Lake Superior. It was in those days that the catches of whitefish were
large and the Endress Fishing co. grew to be one of the largest on the
lakes. The first tug built by Mr. Endress was named the Bertha, after
Mrs. Willot.
Came Here in 1881
She was married to Joseph Willott Jr., at Two Rivers, Nov. 21, 1881,
and they located in this city to make their future home. They would
have celebrated their golden wedding had Mrs. Willott survived another
year.
Besides her husband, the deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs.
Arthur Pitz, city; a son, Rueben Willott, Antigo; a brother, R.F.
Endress of Ottawa, Ill, and two grandchildren.
