The deceased, altho he had complained of not feeling well for two weeks previous, was taken down shortly after his arrival at his home on Thursday, May 29, when he had taken part in the Ascension day exercises at the church and cemetery. The family physician was called into attendance and after an examination pronounced his affliction pneumonia, which later on developed double pneumonia, from which death resulted. " \ Mr. Hettermann was born at Burlington, Wis., on Nov. 3, 1851, and was in his sixty-eighth year at the time of his death. He attended the schools in the city of his i>irth, where he grew to manhood. At the age of nineteen he expressed his desire to become a blacksmith and soon afterwards went to Brass Ball, Wis., where he learned the trade in the shop of Peter Slack. After two years at bis apprenticeship and desiring to gain more experience in his chosen vocation, he went west and thence east. Most of ihe time spent in traveling was passed in the state of California, where he became very proficient. Before leaving the west he was employed as "foreman in one of the big car shops. Returning to Burlington, Wis., he remained a short, time and thence came to Johnsburg, where he purchased a blacksmith shop, at that time owned and conducted by Peter Schaid. This was in the spring of 1878 -and ever since then he has made his home there. He continued to engage in the blacksmithing business until about nine years ago, when he sold out to hi8 eldest son, Henry W. Hettermann. Being a man of industry and thrift, he found, after selling out, that he could not lay idle and for a number of years after he assisted his son in carrying on the work in the shop and later proved of great, service to his youngest son, Jos. B. Hettermann, who is now engaged in the automobile and blacksmithing business at Johnsburg. On October 29, 1878, at St Alphonsus church, Burlington, Wis,, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Althoff. Immediately after his marriage he took up housekeeping at Johnsburg. Six children were born to the union, two of whom have preceded him in death, one in infancy and the other, Frank, passing away at the age of sixteen. The living children, who with the heartbroken wife, are left to survive him, are Henry W. and Jos. B. of Johnsburg; Mrs. Wm. Krift of Wheatland, Wis., and Mrs. Peter Epping <^f New Munster, Wis. Besides t^iefie and a large circle of friends, he also leaves ten grandchildren and two sisters and brother. The sisters and brother are: Ottilia Hettermann and Mrs, Barney Keller and Frank Hettermann of Burlington, Wis. Mr. Hettermann was a charter member of St. John's court, C. Q. F., of Johnsburg and lived the life of a true Christian as taught him in his tender years at the Catholic school which he attended. His sterling traits of character won for him the respect and high esteem of everyone who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, which not only extends thru this entire locality, but. thruout Burlington, New Munster, Wheatland, Racine, Milwaukee and Waterford, Wis., as well. , - ,, The funeral took place from St. John's Catholic church at Johnsburg at ten o'clock on Monday morning of this week and was one of the largest held there in recent years.
