MATH BOEKLER CALLED BY DEATH

   "Math Boekler is dead." Such were the words that were spoken with deep feeling of sorrow last Monday morning, when it became known that the young man had lost his fight against death and answered the final summons at 12:30 o'clock that morning, at his home on Main street after an illness that had extgended over several months.
   Mathias W. Boekler was born in this village on August 7, 1897, and has been a resident here all his life. He was graduated from the Campbellsport High School with the class of 1916, and then took a commercial course at Marquette University in Milwaukee, from where he graduated in 1918. The young man then entered the hardware business with his father, Martin R. Boekler, and by his strict attention to the details of the firm and his latest business methods, was of great assistance to his father in the management of their increasing trade.
   On August 21, 1921, he was married to Miss Rose Ferber, daughter of Mrs. W. F. Ferber of town Auburn, who survives him. Other surviving relatives are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Boekler, two sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Behnke of this village and Mrs. Fances Mulford of East Orange, N. J.
   The deceased was a member of Fond du Lac Lodge No. 140, F. & A. M., who had charge of the funeral arrangement. He was also a member of the local camp of Modern Woodmen, the Campbellsport Band and the Campbellsport Volunteer Fire Department.
