New Ulm Review May 26, 1915
Saturday afternoon the remains of Frederick Walther were laid to rest in the City Cemetery. Mrs. Walther left Los Angeles with the body Monday and reached New Ulm Friday evening. The services were held from Turner Hall under the auspices of the local Hecker Post of which the deceased had been a member. Capt. Albert Steinhauser delivered the address at the hall and also at the grave. Comrad Marschner on behalf of the Hecker Post made a few fitting remarks. A detail of Co. “A” which escorted the remains to the cemetery fired the customary salutes.
Mr. Walther died while enroute to Los Angeles, Cal., Wednesday, March 17th about 6 o’clock. He and his wife and a granddaughter, Miss Beyl left Minneapolis, March 12th. Monday, the 15th he complained of not feeling well and the services of a doctor were requisitioned twice on his trip. Wednesday afternoon he had a stroke and 2 hours later he passed away.
The deceased was born in Saxony, Germany, October 15, 1842 and came to this country with his parents in 1858. Two years later they came to Brown County and settled in the town of Cottonwood. After the Indian Massacre he joined Co. “A” of the 11th Minnesota Volunteers and served during the Civil War, receiving his honorable discharge.
He was married July 30, 1868 to Friedericka Pfeiffer who survives him. They took up farming in the town of Cottonwood until 1881 when they removed to New Ulm. In 1884 they returned to their farm in Cottonwood and remained there until 1904 when they again removed to New Ulm where they have since resided.
He is survived by the following children: Mrs. John Getland, Mrs. B. E. Beyl, Mrs. Chester Boland, of Minneapolis; Mrs. M. Thornton, Forsythe, Mont.; Mrs. E. W. Colburn, Elkton, S. D.; Mrs. F. W. Conley, Los Angeles, Cal.; and Alfred and Henry of Minneapolis and Fred Walther, Jr. of this city. He is also survived by one brother William Walther of Fulda, Minn.
(Note: A previous New Ulm Review newspaper article on March 24, 1915 initially reported Mr. Walther’s death in California…that article stated that the remains were to be brought to New Ulm “in about a month or so”. Burial did not actually take place in New Ulm until May 1915.)
