Edward Guck Chilton Times January 8, 1876
Died – On Thursday the 31st inst. Edward Guck, aged about 45 years. We have penned or published many obituary notices since the existence of the Times, but seldom have we felt so sad as at the present writing for, like all old settlers we knew, that in the proper place, our departed citizen was a good man and true.
Edward Guck was born in Bavaria, Germany, and came to this country in '48 or '49, settled in New York, married and moved West. First located at Sheboygan, and then removed to Chilton—the centre of the Garden of Wisconsin—where he established our first shoe shop on the spot where Commerford & McGrath now hold forth. He subsequently removed to the Eastern portion of our village and erected what is now the rear portion of the Times office. He then erected the Washington House, which speaks for itself. He was also postmaster, several time chairman of the Town Board and once Register of Deeds also has been a Justice of the Peace for many years, in all of which positions he discharged his duties creditably to himself and satisfactorily to the public.
He joined Co. K of the "Bonny Fourth" and made a very good soldier but contracted a painful disease which finally caused his death. Although his death is deeply regretted by all the old settlers, the horrible state of the roads prevented many from attending the funeral. But although dead he will not soon be forgotten for the reason that he did as much as any other person living to advance the interest of Calumet County and at the same time never forgot a favor conferred on him. Peace to his ashes.
