PIONEER AT REST
Ludwig Steidinger of Stettin Passes Away Sunday Morning
Ludwig Steidinger of the town of Stettin passed away peacefully Sunday forenoon shortly after eleven o'clock at the home of his son, Chas. Steidinger.
Death was due to general debility on account of his age. He has enjoyed his usual good health until the past Christmas, when his health began to fail; but he never was seriously ill until about a week before his death, when his heart began to show symptoms of weakness.
The funeral services were held at Trinity Lutheran church, Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Piltz officiating.
The deceased was born at Wtelno, near Bromberg, Germany, on Feb. 25, 1837. He was married to Justine Wiedenhoeft about 1862 and with his wife and first born son, Fred Steidinger, emigrated to America in 1864, coming directly to Wausau, where he found employment at a saw mill. In 1865 he bought 80 acres of land in the town of Stettin, the old Steidinger homestead now owned by their youngest son Chas. Steidinger. By industry and economy the deceased added several farms to his possessions thus leaving all of his children in comfortable circumstances.
The trials and adversities that the pioneer family of Mr and Mrs. Steidinger had to contend with are familiar to all old settlers and middle aged men that grew up in this community.
When they begin life in the woods of the town of Stettin, there were hardly any roads and for some years Mr. Steidinger carried on his back most of his supplies for his family home from Wausau. But he was a good natured old German pioneer, a man who loved his family, which love made him forget all cares and burdens. He was a man of a kind heart, always ready to encourage a fellow pioneer and to lend a helping hand to his neighbors. No wonder then that he was loved and respected by all that knew him and that so many of his old friends learned with the deepest regret the news of his death and came from far and near to attend his funeral.
He is survived by his faithful wife and his seven children:
Fred Steidinger of the town of Rib Falls, Herman of Wausau, Ludwig of Stettin, Gusta, now Mrs. Gust Tank of Stettin, Malvina, now Mrs. Gust Wilke, William and Carl all of Stettin,
"Ruhe sanft bestattet, Du von Scherz ermattet; Allen Kummer tligt das Grab, Wir. Die letzen Blicke senkend, Sheh'n??? wir Blumen dir hinab."
Born in Moritzfeld, West Prussia. Died in Stettin, WI. Age: 80 years, 5 months, 16 days. Cause: Old Age
