Funeral Not Arranged
Ferdinand Albert Bublitz, civil war veteran and pioneer resident of this city, passed away at his home on First street shortly after the hour of ten o'clock last evening, death resulting after a third stroke of paralysis. Mr. Bublitz's condition had been considered critical for many days and death had been expected almost momentarily since Sunday but the announcement late last night that he had passed away caused a mingled feeling of sympathy and regret among his many friends.
Deceased was born in Tipto, Prussia, July 29, 1840, and therefore was seventy-five year of age. He came to this country when a lad six years of age and settled on a farm near Weyau wega. He enlisted with the Twenty-First Wisconsin Cavalry, at Ripon, Wis, and served during the civil war. He took part in the celebrated capture of Jeff Davis and was granted an honorable discharge at Edgefield, Tenn. July 19, 1865.
Forty-eitht years ago he was united in marriage to Miss Lena Kneb and they took up their residence in this city. He was a member of the Germania society and of the local Post of the G. A. R., and will be missed from those circles, where he was known as a true friend and faithful member.
Surviving is his wife; four sons, John Bublitz of Pueblo, Col., Louis, George and Frank Bublitz, all of this city; and one daughter, Mrs. B. Tuttle, of Chicago. One brother, Herman Bublitz, of Council Bluffs, Ia., and one sister Mrs. Caroline Schussman, of Grand Forks, Idaho, also survive.
Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed.
