Ruppenthal, Peter, one of the first settlers in Tigerton, has passes away after much suffering last Wednesday in a hospital in Oshkosh. He was buried on Sunday with Pastor Sack from Zion Church officiating. After the service held in the house of the deceased, his casket was carried to the hearse by six members of the local German was veterans. The procession headed to the Vollmer Chapel, followed by the veterans. In the midst of the veterans was an old friend of the deceased by the name of the old father Durow, followed by people from near and far. It is true. The German soldier, the wisdom, the German custom customs and broken English with blood and life from his father land as well as his adoptive fatherland where he is willingly sacrificed. This was our friend Peter Ruppenthal, who was one of the youngest men to answer Lincoln's call to defend this fatherland.
