called by the congregation at Berlin, Wis. There he also entered holy matrimony with Miss Anna Brandenburg. In 1876 he followed a call from the congregation at Muscoda, Wis. There a hard blow struck him; his wife was taken from him by death and left him with seven children, the youngest of whom was fourteen days old. He then married again, the widow Johanna Hudtloff, who also died three years later. After that he married the pastor's widow Christine Freese, with whom he lived in happy marriage for twenty-two years. After serving the congregation at Muscoda for thirteen years, he was called to Lakefield, Minn., where he served the Lord for eight years. The last congregation he served with Word and Sacrament was the small congregation near Welton, Ill. In the winter of 1910 the infirmities of age set in; in addition a throat ailment so weakened him that on the second day of Pentecost 1910 he laid down the preaching office that had been so dear to him. He moved to live with his children. His infirmity remained, indeed increased. On Palm Sunday 1911, sensing that the Lord would soon call him home, he asked for the Holy Communion. It was administered to him by the undersigned, to whom he also made this confession: "I have always preached and believed the old and simple catechism truth: 'The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin,' and: 'Christ's blood and righteousness my beauty is, my glorious dress; in these before my God I'll stand when I shall reach the heavenly land.'" A few days later, on April 11, he fell asleep quietly and peacefully. On Good Friday his body was Christianly buried in the cemetery of the congregation at Montevideo, Minn. Pastor A. Anderson officiated in the home and at the grave; the funeral sermon was given by Pastor C. W. Ristow on Heb. 4:9. His age came to 71 years, 6 months, and 8 days. He stood in the preaching office for about 38 years.
