Albert Paustian, 83, a native of this city, died on Monday of a blood clot at his home in Brillion. He was a member of a pioneer Mayville family, and operated the first electric generating plant in Mayville.
Masonic funeral services were held at Brillion on Wednesday, and the remains were brought here for burial in Graceland cemetery.
Mr. Paustian was born in this city in June, 1886, a son of Ferdinand and Sophie Paustian. On Nov. 2, 1895, he was married here to Louisa Naber. Mr. Paustian and his father owned the Mayville grist mill, and he installed the first generating equipment to bring electric lights to Mayville. After he sold the business in 1908 to the Northwestern Iron Co., the family moved to Brillion, where Mr. Paustian also established a generating plant, which he later sold to another firm. He was a prominent member of his community, and was president of the Brillion Iron Works.
Mr. Paustian's first wife died in 1933. About five years ago he was married to Mrs. Ruppenthal. He is survived by two sons, Oscar, of Manitowoc, and Albert jr., of Detroit, Mich.; a sister, Mrs. Martha Liebscher, Thiensville; and two grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two children, Marie and Hugo.
