Oscar D. Naber, a life-long resident of this city, lost a gallant fight with death on Friday morning, shortly before 12 o'clock, when he succumbed to the ailment from which he suffered for more than a year. For several weeks his condition became steadily worse, and while death was expected momentarily, when the news of his death was spread, it came as a shock to the people of the city, who had constantly hoped for his recovery.
The deceased was born here on Jan. 15, 1870, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Diedrich Naber. The father was a pioneer businessman in this city, having founded the store which still bears his name. At an early age, Mr. Naber entered his father's business, and continued as president of the company up to the day of his death, although for some time he was not actively engaged in the business.
On Aug. 24, 1899, Mr. Naber was united in marriage to Miss Paula Paustian, who preceded him in death on Nov. 10, 1930. The death of his wife coming so shortly after he passed through an operation which it was hoped would restore his health, was a contributing factor to his early death. Mrs. Naber's death was a great blow to Mr. Naber, and her passing greatly affected his chances of improvement.
Surviving the deceased are one daughter, Margaret, and three sons, Walter, Alfred, and Herbert; one brother, Adolph, and five sisters, the Misses Mathilda, Lucy, and Anna Naber, and Mrs. Henry Wegner, of this city, and Mrs. Albert Paustian, of Brillion. Two grandchildren also survive.
Private funeral services were held at the late home on Monday morning for the family and immediate relatives. Judge E. H. Naber gave an address in the German language, and Prof. A. S. Kramer of Milwaukee played several of Mr. Naber's favorite piano selections.
Delegations of merchants and others who knew Mr. Naber visited the late home on Sunday and Monday, coming from all parts of the state to pay their last tribute. On Monday afternoon, the public funeral rites were conducted at Turner hall, where an immense crowd of friends of the deceased filled every available bit of space, further testifying to the place he held in the hearts of his fellow citizens.
Services were opened by Haendel's "Largo," played by Prof. Kramer, Albertina Ruedebusch, B. Bernard, and Arthur Garling. A male chorus sang a selection, followed by an address by W. A. Graunke, of Wausau, formerly an instructor in Mayville High school who spoke of the high ideals of the deceased, his love for his home and family, and the city of his birth. The male chorus rendered another selection, after which John A. Thiel spoke of the deceased as a citizen, how he worked for the welfare of the city and its varied industries, our public streets, parks, and especially Graceland cemetery.
Mr. Thiel cited a list of various industries and business enterprizes which the deceased had aided financially, and many of them had honored him with offices. Another selection was sung by the male chorus, after which R. W. Maaske, in behalf of the Turn Verein, gave the farewell of the organization to the deceased. While the huge crowd filed past the bier of the deceased for the last time, the quartet played a fitting selection.
At the graveside the male chorus sang a farewell selection. Then Mr. Thiel spoke briefly, and the service was concluded with another selection by the male chorus.
Gov. Philip LaFollette was included in the list of those who attended the last rites on Monday. The late Robert M. LaFollette was an intimate friend of the deceased, and the son of the Progressive leader maintained this friendship. A partial list of those who attended the funeral is as follows:
W. T. Evjue, Mr. Little, and Frank Panzer, Madison; Andrew Washburn, Clintoville; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Paustian, Messrs. Kuehl, Lauson, Leffle, and Schaefer, of Brillion; Alfred Schumann, Baraboo; Walter Schoen, Carl and Arno Dietze, Milwaukee; Mrs. Amanda Puls Hahn, Hartford; Herman Naber and Mrs. William Zachow, Shawano; Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Paustian, Manitowoc; Frieda Rahn, Two Rivers; the Oswald Liebscher family, Thiensville; Mr. Zinke, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Busch, Fond du Lac; Otto Lueck, Waupun; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Krug, Janesville; Ralph Haertle and William Miller, Juneau; Otto Ruedebusch and William Rusch, Brownsville; Carl Ruedebusch, Beaver Dam; Maurice Gehin, Appleton; Alvin Dreger, Stevens Point; Henry Nagel, and Ed. Pick, West Bend.
