CLAUS JACOB TIMM, a veteran of this city, who enjoyed wide acquaintance in the surrounding communities, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pomranke west of this city Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Pomranke was Mr. Timm's niece. In recent months, since his health began to fail, he was taken care of at her home.
Mr. Timm was born in Meldorf, Schleswig Holstein, Germany, June 30, 1850. There he grew up and attended school until he reached the age of fifteen when he accompanied his parents, a brother and two sisters to America. Their objective was Chicago. After spending a year in that city, however, they decided to make Wisconsin their future home, and accordingly moved to New Holstein, where they settled on a farm known as the Reh place, which is now the home of his sister, Mrs. Anna Meyer. After four years there, they moved to a farm on the Chilton-New Holstein road, now Highway 57. The land was purchased from the mother of Wm. Kramer, a childhood companion and life-long friend of Mr. Timm's.
In 1875 the family moved to Chilton and settled on a farm in the west limits of this city now owned by his nephew, George Timm. Many years ago Mr. Timm disposed of this property and lived subsequently for intervals at New Holstein, Calumet Harbor and Appleton. He loved to travel, had a deep affection for his childhood home and its people and environs and in the course of his lifetime made eight trips to Germany. Those trips usually consumed about six months during which he often made visits to other European countries, such as Switzerland and Italy. He returned from the last of these jouneys June 6. He had planned still another of these trips before his last illness overtook him. About six weeks ago Mr. Timm's condition became grave. Medical aid was unavailing and he gradually lot vitality.
The funeral was held from the Pomranke home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. W. A. Arpke, pastor officiating. Burial was in the family lot in the Breed cemetery.
Mr. Timm had never married. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Anna Meyer, New Holstein, and fourteen nieces and nephews. During the time of his illness and one the occasion of his death and burial many of his old friends came to the Pomranke home to pay their last tribute of respect for their old and well-beloved friend.
