  Chilton Times
  Death follows a long illness Mathias Fochs passed away at His home in This City Chilton on Wednesday morning September 15, 1915 Mathias Fochs, who had been a sufferer for over a year past from dropsy, liver and heart trouble, passed away at his home on Madison Street at an early hour on Wednesday, Sept. 15th. During his long illness he never murmured or complained, bearing his suffering with true Christian fortitude. The deceased was born in the Rhine Province, Germany, Feb. 20, 1838. In 1862 he was married at his native home to Elizabeth Schumacher and they remained there until 1881 when they immigrated with their family to America, coming direct to Chilton where Mr. Fochs' brother, Peter, had for several years operated a farm. Shortly after arriving here Mr. Fochs purchased what was known at that time as the John Daskam farm on Hilbert road, now owned by Anton Kopf. Mr. Fochs was an industrious, thrifty man and continued to operate the farm until 1893 when he disposed of the same and moved to this city. His wife died in October 1896 and a year later he was married to Katherine Hanert, who passed away in 1900. In 1902 he was married for the third time, to Theresa Ubelacker, who survives him. Mr. Fochs was a man who attended strictly to his own affairs and was recognized by the community as a good neighbor and useful citizen. He was a devout member of the Catholic church and a regular attendant at the services until his health failed him. The funeral will be held this Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock from the St. Augustine's church, Rev. Fr. L.N. Thelen will have charge of the services with interment in St. Mary's cemetery. He is survived by three sons, Peter W., of Marathon City, Mathias of Eland Jct, and Anton A, of Evanston, Ill., and four daughters, Mrs. Carl Wagner, Marathon City, Mrs. Frank Basler, Jr., of Hilbert, Sister M. Willibald of St. Paul, Minn. and Mrs George Ubelacker of Bear Creek. He also leaves one brother, Peter of this city.
