Co. E 52 Wis INF∼WALTER ZASTROW DEAD
Death Call an Old and Highly Respected Citizen.
Our readers have been advised that Captain Walter Zastrow, an old citizen known to almost everyone in Ozaukee county, was stricken with apoplexy about a month ago and therefore the news of his death which occurred last Monday morning will not be unexpected. Mr. Zastrow had seemed for a time to be recovering through he never recovered his speech but a turn for the worse came the later part of last week, with the end on Monday.
Mr. Zastrow was so well known and so highly regarded by the people of this county that his death was the cause of a general regret, such as goes forth only when a good man passes away.
Walter von Zastrow von Kuessow was born at Castle Rossow-Sassenburg, in Pomerania, Prussia, May 18, 1837, the son of Baron Otto von Zastrow von Kuessow and Countess O. von Papstein, both of ancient linage of the nobility of Pomerania.
Mr. Zastrow immigrated to the United States in 1852 and settled in Milwaukee county but in the following year moved to Ozaukee county, settling in Grafton where he engaged in farming.
In the fall of 1860 he removed to New Ulm, Minn., but in the following year responding to the call for duty for his adopted country he enlisted in Co. H 1st Minnesota volunteer infantry and served three years. At the end of this enlistment he returned to Ozaukee county and organized a company of which he was commissioned captain and assigned to the 52nd Wisconsin volunteer infantry, where he served to the end of the war.
Returning home to Grafton he followed farming until 1868, at which time he sold his farm and removed to Port Washington. For a time he was a clerk in the office of the register of deeds and then went to California where he remained foe about two years. Returning to Port Washington he engaged in the hotel business. In 1879, he was elected register of deeds and filled that office for a number of years.
Mr. Zastrows strongest characteristic was that of the sturdy, substantial citizen not seeking for a sudden wealth but content to live in good fellowship with his neighbors and strictly honest in all his dealings. He never married but leaves beside the host of friends one brother and one sister to mourn the loss, as well as numerous other relatives.
The funeral took place on Tuesday under the auspices of the Sons of Herrmann of which Mr. Zastrow had been honored and valued member. A large concourse of friends attended among them many members of G.A.R. from Cedarburg and other points.
Relatives present were Ernst Lippman of Beloit, Louis Lippman, Fannie and Lucille Lippman, Mrs. Lucy Dalwig, Berndt von Zastrow von Kuessow, Henry Lippman, and Mrs. P. Orth of Milwaukee, and Mrs. Jos. Wetzel of Chicago. Rev. Fritzmeier delivered a most appropriate sermon and interment was made in the city cemetery.
