Laabs, Frederick W. #3 (6 MAR 1881 - 6 MAR 1948)

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at Curtiss (Clark Co., Wis.) for Frederick W. Laabs, aged 67, who had passed away Saturday, March 6th, 1948, at St. Joseph’s Hospital at Marshfield, where he had been a patient since last Jan. 28th. He passed away on his birthday.

Mr. Laabs was one of Clark County’s most prominent businessmen, having been engaged in the cheese making industry all his life. He made his home at Curtiss, but controlled several cheese plants in this section of the country. He was associated with the Kraft Cheese Co. in business and was also vice president of the Curtiss State Bank.

A complete obituary will be published next week.
