Eppling Frederick J. (30 JUL 1863 - 27 NOV 1918)

Rev. Frederick J. Eppling died suddenly at Portland, Ore. Nov. 27, 1918. The news of his death came as a great shock to this community, where he so long had his home and served as pastor.

Deceased was born at Humberstone, Canada, July 30, 1863. He came with his parents when 7 years of age to Kirchhayn, Wis. After his confirmation he attended the Northwestern College at Watertown. Completing the course there he took a post graduate course at the Capital City University, Columbus, Ohio. He took up his theological studies at the Seminary of the Wisconsin Synod at Wauwatosa, and in 1886 as a student, came to Neillsville, Clark County, Wis. to preach. After a congregation was organized he was called as their minister and on Easter Sunday, 1887 he was ordained. During his pastorate the present Lutheran Church building was erected.

In Oct. 1888 he was married to Miss Clara Dangers, who survives him.

In 1890 he was called to Algoma, Wis., where he served as pastor for 20 years. During his pastorate there the present fine church building was erected. During that time he also had a congregation at Kolberg. During the Spanish American War he was a regimental chaplain, having a leave of absence from his congregation during that time. After the war he returned to Algoma, but in 1911 resigned on account of nervous breakdown. Later he moved to Neillsville and after his health improved he was appointed missionary to organize and work in the West, with headquarters at Portland, Oregon.

To Mr. and Mrs. Eppling were born seven children, two of whom died in infancy. Those surviving are Leiut. Fred Eppling, Lieut. Arvid Eppling, both serving in the army, and three daughters, Helen Elfrida and Lillian. He leaves also one brother and three sisters and many other relatives.

Mr. Eppling was an able public speaker, a deep student, and a man of rare mental and spiritual power.

Funeral services were held in the Hamilton Chapel, Portland, Oregon, which was filled to overflowing by people of all classes, whose presence proclaimed the general sorrow his death has caused.

The body was brought here for burial, the funeral being held at the home of Mrs. B. Dangers on Monday. The services were in English and German, tributes to his memory being paid in eloquent and earnest words by Rev. Brandt, of Neillsville, Rev. Thom, of Marshfield, Rev. A. Haase, of St. Paul, Rev. Helleman, of Medford, Rev. Busack, of Marathon and Rev Schley, of Algoma. The music was rendered by Mrs. Ray Clemens, Miss Gertrude Becker and Miss Mae Free.

Besides the clergymen named, those from away who came to attend the funeral were Mrs. F. J. Eppling and daughter Miss Lillian from Porland and Lieut. Arvid Eppling from North Carolina; Mrs. B. P. Churchill and daughter Betty, of Milwaukee; Mrs. Chas. Eppling (an only brother) from Chicago; Mrs. J. C. Rhienartz, a sister, from East Liverpool, Ohio, and her son Carl from the Great Lakes Training Station; Mrs. Hensel and her son, Rev. O. Hensel of Wausau; besies Rev. Schley, pastor of Mr. Eppling's old charge at Algoma, four members of that congregation were present: Mrs. Frank Zander, Miss Erma Damas, Mr. H. Seblilski and Mr. A. Fenski; Miss Lydia Treichel of Milwaukee, was also present.

The daughters Helen and Elfrida were sick and could not come, and the son Lieut. Fred Eppling at Camp Pike failed to get the communication in time.

MRS. B. DANGERS' FUNERAL THURSDAY

Pioneer is Stricken at Home of Kin in Milwaukee

News reached Neillsville relatives and friends Tuesday morning that Mrs. B. Dangers had passed away the evening before, on Monday, March 23, at 4:30 o'clock at the home of her daughters, Mrs. B. P. Churchill, in Milwaukee, where she was visiting. Mrs. Dangers was one of the oldest pioneers of Neillsville ----- she would have been 89 years of age, had she lived two days longer.

Helene von Frankenburg Ludwigsdorf, was born in Germany, March 25, 1842. Her mother died in Germany, and when she was a girl about 14 years of age she came to America with her father and other members of the family, who settled at West Bend, Wis. Here she grew to womanhood and on October 8, 1867, was married to Burghard Dangers. In 1883 they came to Neillsville where Mr. Dangers went into the mercantile business, in which he continued until his death in 1914. They were people of the finest type --- refined and cultured and at the same time practical and efficient in the affairs of life and in business. Mrs. Dangers was a lady of clear and alert mind, reading widely and keeping well informed even into her advanced age. Her life was beautifully rounded out and complete --- "a sheaf full ripe for the harvest," and she leaves to her family and friends a heritage of sweet and gracious memories.

Mrs. Dangers is survived by four daughters, and two sons: Clara, Mrs. Eppling of Portland, Oregon; Minnie, Mrs. T. E. Brameld, of Milwaukee; Lillian, Mrs. B. P. Churchill, Milwaukee; Elsa, Mrs. Kircher, Hollywood, California; Walter and Fred in Neillsville. One daughter, Louise Turner, died in 1913. She leaves also nice grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

The funeral will be held in St. John's Lutheran Church, Neillsville, at 2 p.m. Thursday, Rev. Wm. Baumann officiating.
