Nicholas Aebischer, a former resident of Wausau, died suddenly last Thursday evening, January 17th, 1924, at Waupaca of congestion of the lungs. Mr. Aebischer was eighty years old last November. He was the youngest member of a large family who immigrated to this country from Switzerland when he was but a small boy. He was a veteran of the civil war, serving with Company G, 14th Wisconsin Volunteers. Shortly after the battle of Shiloh he was discharged and returned to his brother's farm much broken in health. For many years he followed the occupation of farming and then turned to iron mining.
In 1871, at Charlestown, Calumet County, he was united in marriage with Miss Mariam Smith.
Funeral services were conducted last Saturday afternoon at the F. R. Becker home, 514 McClellan Street, Wausau. The Rev. W. J. Taylor, pastor of the First Universalist church, officiated and burial was in Pine Grove Cemetery. The pallbearers were D. O. McNaughton, Anson Young, F. O. Crocker, Ben Wegner, A. W. Warner and William Zimmer.
Surviving are the widow, one daughter, Mrs. F. R. Becker and a granddaughter, Miss Mona Becker, both of Wausau. – Wausau Pilot.
The above will be read with regret by many of the older residents of this section who knew Mr. Aebischer in the pioneer days of Calumet County. In the fall of 1861 he enlisted at Chilton under the late Captain Fred Magdeburg. In the early days of the town of Charlestown, four brothers, Christian, John, Samuel and Nicholas Aebischer settled in the northern section of that town, in what is known as Evergreen Valley and their sturdy manhood and industry had much to do with the advancement of that fertile district. Nicholas Aebischer was the last survivor of the four brothers.
