George Rossmiller of Burlington Drops Dead - Recently Elected Treasurer.

 

George Rossmiller, Sr., city treasurer of the city of Burlington, where he has resided since coming to this country over 60 years ago, dropped dead at his home yesterday. Mr. Rossmiller, who was 68 years old, had taken a walk during the morning and returned home feeling real well. He was telling his wife a story, when he fell over in his chair, dead.

The deceased is a native of Germany, but came to this country when he was but eight years old. He spent most of his life as a farmer there, and ten years ago went to work for the Blanket company. He retired a little over two years ago.

Mr. Rossmiller, who is perhaps one of the best known men in Burlington, was elected as city treasurer at the last election, with a big margin over the other candidates. It was his first political office.

Besides a widow, Mr. Rossmiller is survived by four sons, William, of Beloit; Henry and George of Burlington, and J. W. Rossmiller, 704 Randolph street, Racine, and two daughters, Mrs. William Forge, Rochester, and Mrs. C. H. Schemmer, Burlington.

He is also survived by three sisters and four brothers, Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Theodore Linnerman, both of Waterford; Mrs. Joseph Esmann, Altavista, Iowa; William, of East Troy; Godfrey, Burlington; John, of Montana, and Henry of Lake Geneva.

The funeral will be held Saturday morning from St. Mary's church in Burlington. Interment will be made in the Burlington cemetery.
