Julius Feind Chilton Times January 30, 1909
JULIUS FEIND DEAD – HE WAS A PROMINENT CITIZEN
At 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening Jan. 28th death came peacefully to Julius Feind, one the prominent and influential residents of our city. Mr. Feind had been in poor health for some months and although his death was not unexpected it is none the less fraught with sorrow to his numerous friend and fellow townsmen.
Julius Feind was born in the province of Hanover, Germany, March 21, 1828. There he obtained a thorough common school education and for some years previous to coming to America was manager of a large estate owned by Duke Kilsmanseeger. In 1858 he immigrated to this country and found employment on a farm in Fond du Lac County. A few years late he purchased a farm in the town of Friendship, that county, but remained there only a short time coming to Calumet County and purchasing a farm in the town of Charlestown in 1864. Owing to poor health which continued for two years he gave up farming and returned to Fond du Lac and also traveled extensively through the south and west.
In 1866 he engaged in business in Marytown, Fond du Lac County with the late Chas F. Holtz, conducting a store and hotel for a short time. The same year he left Marytown and came to Chilton where he purchased the mercantile business of Henry Hoffman which was located on Main Street in the building now owned by H. A. Kroll. This venture lasted only a few months when he sold out to the late Wm Paulsen and forming partnership with James LaCount, purchased the Chilton House. He later purchased Mr. LaCount's interest and then sold the property to the late Fred Esser.
His next business venture was the purchase of a harness shop in this city which he conducted a short time and then launched into the real estate business dealing extensively and successfully in this line of business until his health failed him. In 1880 he built the Feind block which he sold seven years ago to Henry Rollmann. In 1901 he was one of the prime movers in establishing the Chilton National Bank and was elected president of that institution, which position he held at the time of his death.
Julius Feind's entire life was one of great usefulness. He was an indefatigable, systematic worker and whatever venture he undertook he invariably carried to a successful termination. He knew no such word as fail; his courage and faith added to an unusual perseverance and ability to execute, compelling success in projects which would be total failure to one less shrewd and gifted. He was a man of sound judgment in business affairs and many of his friends and townsmen were the gainers by asking his advice and following his suggestions. He was given charge of many large estates during the past thirty years of his life, always managing them to the great advantage of those interested. He seemed to be specially adapted to this kind of work, husbanding resources and making every dollar count for the owner.
Mr. Feind never married and although a man who tended strictly to his own affairs he kept in touch with passing events in the community and took a sympathetic interest in the success of his neighbors. He made no pretense of religion in the orthodox sense of the word but his life was that of a good, upright man, doing his duty always, as he saw it and exercising charity to deserving individuals whose wants came to his notice. Many poor people in this section could tell if they chose to do so of his generosity and aid, given at a time when such aid was needed.
Mr. Feind was a member of the Masonic lodge and although for some years he had not taken an active part in the workings of that body he adhered strictly to its teachings. The funeral will be held tomorrow, Sunday afternoon.
