08 06 JOSEPH BLIEFERNICHT,
1838-1909
Mr.
Joseph Bliefernicht, a well-known resident of
Watertown and for many years a clothing salesman at Schempf Bros. Cos. store, died suddenly last evening at
his residence, 700 Vine Street, as he was about to retire for the night.
He
had attended to his duties at the store as usual yesterday and last evening and
his death was wholly unexpected. He had
been sitting on the porch at his home and started to retire to bed at about 11
o’clock when he was suddenly stricken and death followed
in a few moments. A few moments before
the attack came on he complained of pains about the
heart. The cause of death was paralysis
of the heart.
Mr.
Bliefernicht was a native of Mecklenburg, Germany,
where he was born February 20, 1838. He
came to the United States when 13 years old, coming direct to Watertown where
he has since resided. In 1862 he was
married to Regina Euper, who with two children,
Edward Bliefernicht and Mrs. Joseph Hoeffler, of this city survive. There are six grandchildren
and three sisters and two brothers.
The
time of the funeral will be announced tomorrow.
Mr.
Bliefernicht was one of Watertown’s most respected
citizens and the news of his death will be learned with regret by a large number of friends and acquaintances. He was a familiar figure in Schempf Bros, company store, where he was employed as a
salesman for 44 years, entering the employ of the old company then known as
George Schempf & Cos., and continuing with the
firm until death called him. That he was
a faithful employee is amply testified to by the members of the firm, rarely
missing a day during his long period of service.
He
was a good neighbor and friend and has gone to his reward with a record of a
life well spent. Watertown News, 08
