WILLIAM STITT
DIED.
Stitt - At his home at Mattoon, Wis., Jan. 1, 1900 of consumption,
William Stitt, aged 39 years. Deceased was born a short distance up the
Mishicot River from this city where the Tannery of the Wisconsin Leather
Company used to be located on the 28th day of Oct., 1860. He grew to
manhood at the old homestead but about 12 years ago he entered the
employ of the Mattoon Manufacturing Company and spent most of his time
at their veneer works at Mattoon in Shawano County. About two years ago
he was married to Miss Lillie Fischer, the daughter of an old neighbor
whom he had known from her infancy. A little daughter, now only six
months old, was born to them. His death was due to consumption but he
was confined to his bed only a few weeks. He was one of the most genial
and honorable young men this county has ever produces and was loved and
esteemed with everyone and unusual honors were paid his remains at the
funeral. The Mattoon Company ran a free special train over their branch
road to the main live of the C. & N.W. Ry to accommodate those of his
fellow workmen who wished to accompany his remains to the train that was
to bring them to this city for burial in the family burial lot. Here
they were taken in charge by the Masonic fraternity and laid to eternal
rest with full Masonic honors, E.G. Nash of Manitowoc acting as Master
of Ceremonies.
Card of Thanks
The wife, mother, sister and brother of the late William Stitt unite in
extending their most sincere thanks to the Masons of Two Rivers and to
their old friends and neighbors for the kindly services and sympathy
extended to them in their hour of sorrow and bereavement.
