PHONOGRAPH (Colby, Wis.) 04/10/1919 Adrian, Nicholas
(1855? - 3 Apr 1919) Nicholas Adrian
died at his home in Appleton, Wis. on Thursday afternoon April 3,
1919, as a result of a stroke of paralysis, which he suffered on
the preceding Sunday. He had been in poor health for about six
years. Mr. Adrian was
born in Freedom, Outagamie Co., Wis. 63 years ago and was one of
that community's most respected citizens. He had been in the
mercantile business many years and was noted for his good business
ability and square dealing. Mr. Adrian also held different public
offices and in 1900 was elected country clerk, and performed the
duties of the office to the best of satisfaction and a credit to
himself. During the past twenty years he has made his home in
Appleton, where he made many friends who will miss him. He was
quite well acquainted here (Colby, Wis.), having made many visits
to his mother and brother and sisters. He leaves to mourn
his death, besides his wife and eight children, his mother, Mrs. R.
Shortell, a brother, Peter Adrian, and sister, Mrs. H. B. Eder, all
of Colby, and two other sisters, Mrs. Charles Ristau of Kaukauna
and Mrs. Julius Wolf of Ashland, Oregon, all of who were present at
the funeral except Mrs. Wolf. The funeral was
held last Monday at 9 o'clock from the Catholic Church at Appleton
and he was laid to rest in the cemetery in that city. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
