Tischendorf, Gustave Adolph (24 Apr. 1861 - 20 July 1942)

Funeral services for Gustave Adolph Tischendorf, 81, pioneer Dorchester resident, who died Monday at Clark County Hospital, Owen, were held at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Fuchsgruber Funeral Parlors and at 2:00 p.m. at Peace Evangelical Lutheran church. He had been in poor health for the past year and had been more seriously ill six months before his death. Burial was made in Peace church cemetery.

Six grandsons acted as pallbearers: William and Lloyd Tischendorf, Arthur and Elmer Leichtnam, and Earnest and Albert Winchell.

Mr. Tischendorf, who was born in Leipsig, Germany, April 24, 1861, was married to Ida Hahn in that city on June 13, 1882. The couple came to this country in 1891 and settled in Dorchester, where Mr. Tischendorf operated a cigar business.

The couple purchased a farm one mile north of the village in 1906 and lived there until they moved back to Dorchester in 1934.

When Mr. Tischendorf became seriously ill early this spring, Mrs. Tischendorf came to Abbotsford to live with her daughter, Mrs. Ed Leichtnam.

Mr. Tischendorf is survived by his widow and four children: Mrs. George (Martha) Dahl and Robert, both of Minocqua; Mrs. Ed (Rose) Leichtnam, Abbotsford; and Mrs. Joel (Mary) Winchell, Dorchester, Wis. Two children died in infancy and a son, William, died in 1920.
