JAN FAJT   cemetery #26

KELLNERSVILLE’S OLDEST SETTLER DIES SUDDENLY AT AGE OF NEARLY A CENTURY. 
SON IS 75
John Fiet, the oldest settler of Kellnersville and probably the oldest 
living resident of the county, died suddenly at the home of his son 
there today, a victim of heart failure. Mr. Fiet, who had he lived three 
months more, would have celebrated the centennial anniversary of his 
birth, being 99 years and nine months old at the time of his death, 
suffered the fatal attack early this morning. 
Despite his advanced age Mr. Fiet had enjoyed remarkable health and 
yesterday and early today was up and about the house as usual, taking 
an interest in affairs and conversing with the family. He had not 
complained of illness but suddenly, without warning fell over and when 
assistance reached him, was dead. 
Born in Bohemia, Mr. Fiet came to America in his youth and more than 
sixty years ago located in Manitowoc county and for half a century was 
engaged in farming at Kellnersville. Of late years he had made his home 
with his son, John, at Kellnersville. One of Mr. Fiet’s sons is 75 years 
old. One son, Wenzel, is located at Marshfield and John resides at 
Kellnersville. 
Funeral arrangements have not been made but the burial will probably be 
held Monday at the Catholic church at Kellnersville.

MARION FALGE    cemetery #44

NEWS OF DEATH IS SORROW TO MANY FRIENDS
Announcement of the death of Mrs. Louis Falge Monday was received with
keen regret by friends and calls forth sympathy.  Though it was known that
Mrs. Falge's condition was extremely critical and that there was little hope
of recovery, the news of her death was a shock.
Mrs. Falge's illness was of eighteen months duration and was due to
cancer of the lower intestines.  Last fall Dr. A.J. Ochsner performed an
operation at Augustana hospital, Chicago, with apparent recovery but
relatives were informed that there was no hope of permanent recovery and
that the malady would terminate fatally.  This knowledge was kept from Mrs.
Falge and from friends until recently.  For several weeks Mrs. Falge has
been growing weaker and it was realized that death could not be stayed, and
at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon she quietly passed to rest.
Marion Burton Falge, was born at Plymouth, December 13, 1869 and removed
with her parents to Unity, Wis., where she graduated from the high school
with the class of 1885.  Following her graduation she taught school for
three years and attended the University of Wisconsin.  In 1889 she was
married to Dr. Louis Falge and the family made their home at Reedsville
until 1907 when they removed to this city where they have since resided.
Mrs. Falge is survived by her husband and five children, John, who
graduates from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis June 7, Robert, Raymond,
Helen and Francis, at home.  Four brothers, A.W. Burton, superintendent of
schools at Green Bay, H.C.Burton, Pomona, Cal., Rev. C.V. Burton, of Chicago
and two sisters Mrs. E.T. Barford, Plymouth, Mrs. J.H. Healy of Reville
S.D., also survive.  Mrs. Healy had been with Mrs. Falge for five weeks and
all other brothers and sisters, with exception of S.N. Burton of California,
had visited her during her last illness.
Mrs. Falge was a woman of high ideals strong individuality and ability
and her life left its impress upon those with whom she came in contact, it
was in her home that she found her true sphere and her death is an
irreparable loss to her family.  Mrs. Falge was an ardent lover of Nature
and found happiness in the simple things in life.  Mrs. Falge was a member
of the Presbyterian church and in her last illness her patience and
fortitude and resignation of suffering emphasized the strong Christian faith
which marked her life.
Funeral services for Mrs. Falge wil be held from the late home at 616
St. Clair street Wednesday afternoon at 2, Rev. Sheppley officiating.

PEACEFUL DEATH COMES TO END A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
MRS. A.J. FANTA IS SUMMONED WHILE SHE IS IN SLUMBER. 
NEWS IS A GREAT SHOCK TO FRIENDS
A beautiful death came to close a beautiful life Sunday morning when, 
as she slumbered in apparent health, Mrs. A. J. Fanta quietly passed 
into eternal sleep at her home on North Eighth street. Mrs. Fanta's 
death occurred at 1:30 Sunday morning and was due to heart failure.
Announcement of the death of Mrs. Fanta came as a great shock to the 
community. She had been down town Saturday afternoon and had returned 
home at 6 and spent the evening in reading as was her practice and had 
retired early.  Shortly after midnight Mr. Fanta awakened to find her 
dead.
Mrs. Fanta, nee Christina Krainik, was born in this city 46 years ago 
and was married to Mr. Fanta 23 years ago. Besides her husband she is 
survived by two children, one son Erwin, who is a student at the 
University, and a daughter Miss Mildred. An aged mother, Mrs. Wenzel 
Krainik, four brothers and five sisters also survive.
Mrs. Fanta's life was the embodiment of faith and duty. She had a high 
sense of her responsibility as a Christian, member of society and as a 
mother and was a woman of intellectual attainments and strong ideas. 
She had a sweet and strong personality and her cheerful and helpful life 
will be sadly missed by those who knew her best but the influence which 
she indelibly impressed upon her friends will live and while she is 
absent in person her memory will be fresh and blessed. Mrs. Fanta had 
been affiliated with the First Church Christ Scientist of this city and 
was a member of the Mother church of Boston and was completing her third 
year course as a reader of the church.
The sympathy of friends will go out to the family in their loss. The 
funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 from the late home, 831 N. 
Eighth street, and will be private. Friends are requested to omit flowers.
