Watertown, Wisconsin
Died.
Herbert Breckenridge, one of Watertown's oldest and best-known residents, died at his home, 1096 Breckenridge Street, on Tuesday, April 6, 1910, of an acute attack of indigestion. His death was a great shock to his family and friends, as he was downtown the previous afternoon, and apparently enjoying the best of health. Deceased was 75 years of age, and leaves surviving him one son and two daughters, his son being Alderman George Breckenridge of the 7th ward. Thursday his funeral took place from his late home and his remains were interred beside those of his wife in St. Bernard's Cemetery. Mr. Breckenridge for many years represented the 7th ward in the county board of supervisors and was well known throughout the county. He had been a resident of Watertown for over 50 years, and during all that time he took an active part in the political and business interests of the city, and all our people honored him as a man of sturdy character and a neighbor whom they all prized to call their friend. In his death our city loses a most worthy citizen, and our people mourn his departure sincerely.
