After an illness of about five months, Louis Thiesen, son of Mrs. Anna Thiesen, succumbed to his illness early Sunday morning at his home in this city. The deceased had not been in the best of health for about a year and for the last four months had been confined to his bed, death resulting from Bright's disease and dropsy.

He is survived by his mother, two sisters, Mrs. Baker and Miss Catherine Thiesen, both of this city, and two brothers, William and Joseph.

Louis Thiesen was born in this city, Feb. 10, 1894 and has resided here since that time, attending the Lyons schools and later entering the employment of the Northwestern railroad, where he was employed previous to his last illness.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday morning from St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock and burial will be in St. Boniface cemetery.
