GEORGE H. DICKE CALLED BY DEATH.
Pioneer Resident, Prominent Real Estate Agent, Dies Early This Morning.

George H. Dicke, 72, a pioneer resident, died at 4:30 a.m. today at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edward Grover, on 2608 West Street. Heart trouble was the cause of death. Mr. Dicke was born April 23, 1856, in the town of Two Rivers. He was married Dec. 21, 1887, to Miss Ella Gebler and the couple made their home on a farm on the Sandy Bay road about a mile and a half from the city. They lived there until 1902 when they moved to this city and made their home on Emmett Street where they remained until the death of Mrs. Dicke. Since that time, Mr. Dicke had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Grover.

He was employed as agent in the real estate, insurance, and loan business for the last 26 years until three months ago when he was taken ill. Then his daughter, Mrs. Grover, took over the business.

Mr. Dicke leaves two children, Mrs. Edward Grover, this city, and Mrs. Ira Edwards of Milwaukee; one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilke, one brother, Fred W. Dicke, both of this city; and three grandchildren.

The body will lie in state at the Jansky funeral parlors until Sunday afternoon. The body will then be taken to the home of Mrs. Grover where the funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock with the Masonic lodge in charge. Mr. Dicke was also a member of the Modern Woodmen, the Odd Fellows and the EFU. These lodges will be represented at the funeral. He will be buried at Pioneer’s Rest Cemetery.
