at Two Rivers, died Saturday night in a Sheboygan hospital. He had resided in

church in Sheboygan. The body will be brought to Two Rivers for interment in
Calvary cemetery.
Born in Canada in 1863, he moved to Two Rivers with his parents when a boy. As
a young man he was a member of the crew of the U.S. life saving station here.
He was later transferred to a Chicago station, remaining there for several years
before being transferred back to Two Rivers.
In 1905 he married Mathilda La Fleur who preceded him in death nine years ago.
The couple had no children.
Much of his life was spent in the fishing industry both at Two Rivers and
Sheboygan. In Sheboygan he was employed by the Ernesy Fish company until ill
health forced him to retire ten years ago.
Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Emanuel Ruelle Sr., of Two Rivers and a brother,
