BECHAUD DEAD; LEADER IN BUSINESS CIRCLES End Comes to Interesting and Active Life WAS CAPTAIN IN CIVIL WAR Fond du Lac Banker, Capitalist and Manufacturer Succumbs at Age of 79 Captain Adolph G. Bechaud; vice president of the Commercial National Bank since its organization, veteran of the Civil War, and a man whose business energy and integrity has left a deep impression upon the life of Fond du Lac, died at 4:30 o'clock this morning at the family residence 457 West Eleventh street. his illness has been of about four weeks' duration, though for some months past there has been a noticeable lack of that interest and activity which has always been characteristic of him. Mr. Bechaud was born May 31, 1840, in Dirmstein, Germany, and came to the United States in 1853, settling in Fond du Lac with his parents. The outbreak of the Civil War found Mr. Bechaud, then a young man just turning his twenties, ready and willing to serve. On October 29, 1861, he volunteered at Chicago and was assigned to Company B of the Thirteenth Illinois Cavalry. At the age of 23 he was advanced from rank of sergeant to that of first lieutenant. He was commissioned as such January 6, 1863. His command was detailed for duty in the western theater of the war, being engaged largely in scouting work in Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas. On Oct. 19, 1863, he was advanced to the rank of captain taking command of Company B, of the Thirteenth cavalry and serving as such in the later campaigns of the war, and being in command on his discharge from the service at the close of the war. Capt. Bechaud served under Generals Davis, Carr and Steel. In 1864 he took his disch! arge and came back home to take the duties of civil life. He became associated with Paul Hauser who conducted one of the pioneer breweries of the county on the ledge east of the city. Here Mr. Bechaud learned the fundamentals of the business which was later to become his life work. In 1871 he joined his brothers in the organization of the Bechaud Brewing company, taking the office of president which he has continuously held. On June 6, 1870 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Kramer, then of the town of Taycheedah. Mr. Bechaud leaves in addition to his wife, the following children: Mrs. F.W. Orth, Mrs. H.T. Schmidt, August Bechaud, Mrs. John P. Kalt, Adolph Bechaud, Jr., and Mrs. W.W. Petrie, also six grandchildren, Adolph V. Orth, Charlotte Venne, Robert Bechaud, Ross Petrie, Marcia Petrie and Audrey Bechaud. He is also survived by two brothers; J.B. Bechaud of this city and Armand Bechaud of Chehalis, Wash. Mr. Bechaud was a man of keen business judgment, an indefatigable worker, one who stood unflinchingly by the accepted honorable principles of business dealing. His energy interest and desire that everything should be attended to in a business like way was characteristic of him. He was one of the moving spirits in the organization of the Commercial National bank, and his counsel was often sought and always relied upon in matters requiring decision that would be unerring. In business and social circles he will be missed by a wide circle of friends. Socially he was a member of the Elks and Edwin A. Brown Post No. 130 G.A.R. While plans for the funeral are not fully determined, it is probable that the service will be held Friday afternoon at the residence.

Death Due to Paralysis. his Death Marks Passing of Another of the Old Pioneers. Anthony Petrie, one of the old settlers of this locality, died at his home very suddenly Sunday morning. he had been in his usual health so far as appearances indicated and his death came wholly without warning. On Saturday, he had attended to his work as usual. In fact, had seemed to be in unusual spirits. During Saturday night he suffered a stroke of paralysis and died before assistance could reach him. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the family residence, Rev. Mr. Perpetuo, officiating and interment was in Evergreen cemetery. Anthony Petrie was born in Germany Sept. 24, 1834. he was thus approaching his 80th year. notwithstanding his advanced age he was quite active, was a frequent visitor to the village and regularly attended to little chores about the farm. He came to America in 1846. The family located in Wisconsin. Here he lived until he grew to manhood. he was married April 9, 1857, to Catharine Salchert and to them were born thirteen children, ten of whom survive as follows: Mrs. Mary Stebbins of Jamestown, N.D., Anton Petrie of Sandpoint, Idaho, Henry Petrie of Jamestown, N.D., Mrs. Rosa Stern of Melrose, John Petrie and Mrs. Catherine Hoffarth of Long Prairie, Mrs. Lizzie Porter of Cottage Grove, Oregon, Wm. J.R. Petrie of Doren, George A. Petrie of Long Prairie and Mrs. Anna Mattison of Melrose. All were present at the funeral except Anton and Mrs. Porter. In 1858 the family moved from Wisconsin to Spring Hill, Sterns county, whre a quarter section of land was bought and the beginnings of a farm were made. The Indian troubles a few years later, however, forced them to move and they went to Michigan, where they lived for several years and then moved back to Stearns county and resided there until 1871, when they came to Long Prairie and took the homestead in Reynolds town where they have resided ever since. Mr. Petrie was a true pioneer and helped to blaze the way for the county's recent prosperity. In early days he was one of the teamsters who helped to haul the farm products of the locality to the nearest market at St. Cloud and to haul back from this market the supplies which the people needed. he hauled practically all of the machinery for the John Walt flour mill which was the first mill in this part of the state. Most his time, howerver, was given to farming, especially in later years. His death reminds us again that the pioneers are passing and that the time is close at hand when all that is to remain will be theri memory and the material evidences surrounding us of the good work they did..

She is survived by her mother and three brothers, Peter who resides here, Anton of Milwaukee and Joseph, who is studying for priesthood at Collegeville, Minn. Fond du Lac Daily Reporter, Friday September 30, 1904, p. 4 Sister M. Angelia God had ordained that Mount Calvary was the birth and also the death place of our dear Sister Angelia. Sister first saw the light of day on October 13, 1875. She received a very good Christian training from her early childhood days in the parental home. When she was of school age she attended the parish school which was under the direction of our Sisters. At the age of fifteen she entered the Candidature at Mount Calvary. She was received on March 8, 1894 in Milwaukee and pronounced her Holy Vows on August 17, 1897. Her teaching career was spent at Detroit's mission, our second establishment. The seventh year she spent in the sickroom. As a teacher she had special love for her little charges, to whom she was a loving and devoted teacher. As a religious, Sister strove earnestly to fulfill her obligations and give good example to her companions. In the hope that the young Sister would regain her strength in her home climate, she was given the advice from the Mother! house to go to Calvary to try to regain her health. That was in June, 1904. Here Sister gained the esteem of the community through her sisterly love, her reserve, and her love of prayer. Her gratitude and consideration for her nurse were outstanding characteristics. As a humble and poverty-loving sister she sought to ask for everything she needed, or after any service rendered her to say with deep and grateful smile, "May God reward you." As long as she was able to handle a needle she busied herself with making and completing scapulars. Completely resigned to the holy will of God, the dear Sister had one wish, that to pronounce her Final Vows. The seven years from her first vows had expired in August, 1904 and Mother General had given the patient permission for Profession when a sudden weakness set in, and the blessed hour had to be postponed. On Friday afternoon, September 23, 1904 this total consecration took place in the presence of the Father Confessor and her c! ompanions. The next morning at three a.m. she quietly and peacefully slept in the Lord, as the new perpetual bride of Christ. Often during the night she asked the nurse, "isn't Jesus coming for me?" May the faithful soul of our dear Sister hear the sweet and gentle words of her Bridegroom, "Come, my Spouse, you shall be crowned." May she rest in peace.

Powers, who died at 6 o'clock Saturday night as a result of ten days' illness with pneumonia. Mrs. Powers was formerly Miss Clara Maxfield of Oakfield, and is a bride of less than eight months. Mrs. Powers was stricken with what was seemingly a severe cold last Wednesday. At no time, until a few hours before death, was her condition serious. She did not seem to be critically ill being able to sit up during the day. Pneumonia developed and death was the result. News of Mrs. Powers' death was learned yesterday at Oakfield and genuine sorrow prevailed at what appeared to be almost impossible news. She was born in Oakfield December 2, 1886, and resided there all of her life until her marriage on June 4, 1919, where she came to this city to live. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Maxfield of Oakfield, and much beloved in that community. She leav! es here parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Maxfield of Oakfield; one sister, Mrs. Winifred Ball, Oakfield, and one brother, Edward Maxfield, of Northern Wisconsin. Services were held at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence, 20 N. Butler street, Rev. W.S. Stewart officiated. The body was sent to Oakfield where funeral services were conducted this afternoon. Another sad fact concerning the death of the young woman, is the fact that her husband, who has been confined to his bed for a week, was unable to attend the funeral.
