Mr. Andrew H. Quelle died at his farm home in the town of Reseburg, Clark County, Wis. Saturday morning at 3 a.m., of heart disease, which has been bothering him for some time. Mr. Quelle was born Sept. 5, 1872 at Burlington, Iowa. It was there he spent all his life, save the six years in Thorp.

Mr. Quelle leaves to mourn his loss, his devoted wife and five children and one grandchild. Three of the children lived at home, Harry, Emily and Roy. Grace, or Mrs. Dukowen, and her husband, Martin, of Baraboo, came with the baby to the funeral. Harley came from Port Washington.

It was always Mr. Quelle's saying, "If I have any flowers coming, I want them while I am alive, not when I am dead." Mrs. Quell had many plants about the home and Mr. Quell so enjoyed them.

Mr. Quelle was taken to his old home where he had longed to be. There he wished to take his final rest.

The funeral was from the home. Mr. Bennetts gave the sermon. The text was "Behold, I Come Quickly." The members Methodist choir sang Mr. Quell's favorite songs, "Nearer My God to Thee," and Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." Mrs. B. R. Rusch sang "Face to Face."

Mrs. Quelle and Harry accompanied the body to Burlington, Iowa for burial Monday morning.
