Frederick August Lessin – August 10, 1866 – October 12, 1948

#1

Charles City – Funeral services were here Friday for Fred A. Lessin, 82, brother of Emil and Charles Lessin, Charles City, who died Tuesday in Madison, Wisconsin.

He was born August 10, 1866, in Dodge County, Wisconsin, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Lessin. His body arrived in Charles City Thursday morning from Madison. He leaves two brothers; Emil and Charles Lessin, Charles City; and one sister and two daughters. His wife preceded him in death.

Fredericks age seems to vary in the Census records (i.e) 38 in 1905; 41 in 1910; 64 in 1930. His Tombstone in the Riverside Cemetery has his birth year as 1868 but I have a tendency to believe the birth year in the obit.

According to the 1925 Census, his parents were Michael Lessin and Minnie Schwartz. His father was born in 1837 and died in 1912. His father married Louise Sette on Dodge County, Wisconsin on October 18, 1869, so his mother must have died prior to that date.
