S. J. LUCHSINGER, 67, SUCCUMBS TO SERIOUS ILLNESS Highly Respected Citizen Dies in Capital City Hospital
Funeral services for, former Monticello business man and life-long resident of the village and vicinity, were held Saturday afternoon at 1:30 in the home and at 2 o’clock in the Reformed church, with Rev. A. Muehlmeier officiating. Burial was in Highland cemetery.
Mr. Luchsinger’s death occurred shortly before 2 o’clock Thursday morning at the Methodist hospital, Madison, where he was found to be suffering from a malignant disorder which had gained such headway at the time of the operation that he was given only a few days to live by the attending physicians. He grew gradually weaker from day to day until he finally answered the final summons. Previous to entering the Madison hospital, he had been under treatment at the Monroe hospital for a number of days.
Native of Washington
Mr. Luchsinger was a native of Washington township where he was born Oct. 28, 1868, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Luchsinger. He grew to manhood on the old Luchsinger homestead, which is situated a mile and a half west of Monticello and just north of the four corners. All of the buildings. which once marked the site were razed some years ago, the tract now being a part of the Anton Baumgartner farm.
Something over 40 years ago he came to Monticello and engaged in the farm implement business on a partnership basis with Hoesly Brothers (Rudolph F and the late Joe Hoesly) of New Glarus. This partnership continued until 1908 when P. J. Aultman acquired the interest held by Hoesly Bros. and was associated in business with Mr. Luchsinger for the following two years. Mr. Luchsinger continued in business alone for several years thereafter, finally selling out to Casper Blum about 16 years ago. Mr. Blum was in charge for the following six years, after which Mr. Luchsinger again acquired the business, selling two years later, in 1927, to Wilbert L. Wichser. Mr. Wichser’s lease on the buildings expires the coming fall.
In Business 35 Years
All told Mr. Luchsinger was in business for a period of 35 years. He enjoyed an enviable reputation for square and honorable dealing among his large circle of acquaintances and built up a most successful business through close attention to details. And along with his other good qualities, he was known to all as a worthy citizen and a fine neighbor.
Mr. Luchsinger was first married to Mary Progue. Some years after her death he was married to Mary Arn, the ceremony taking place in New Glarus on April 26, 1906.
