09 11 CASE
OF PATERNAL BRUTALITY WITNESSED
A case of paternal brutality, which might
have resulted in serious injury to a 14-year-old girl, was discovered by William Jaedecke,
Robert Abele and Will Berbin on their return from a
hunt at Hahn's lake Sunday afternoon. When near the railroad
crossing south of the Junction they were attracted by the cries of a child, and
hastening toward the spot found Ferdinand Maas, who lives on the Pease farm in
the Third ward, abusing his daughter Emilie in a frightful
manner. Maas was compelled to cease his attack, after which the
gentlemen hastened to town and swore out a warrant for his arrest. A
hearing was called in Justice Stacy's court on a charge of assault and battery
Monday afternoon, but was adjourned to September 14. WR

11 13 OBITUARY
William Jaedecke, one of
Watertown’s best-known residents, died on Tuesday morning, November 10, 1896,
of quick consumption. Mr. Jaedecke had been in poor health since the spring of 1894
[1895?], at which time his building burned down, at which burning he contracted
a cold, from which he never recovered, being effected with hoarseness and
throat trouble ever since.
He was born in Watertown on July 25, 1858,
and has resided here ever since. Up to
about two months ago he conducted a meat market at 621 Main Street, being
compelled to go out of business on account of his health.
In 1882 he married Miss Martha Staats, who survives him with four children.
As a business man and citizen there was
none better – honest and pleasant in all his transactions, and as a husband and
father, he was kind and indulgent, hence his death is not only a source of
great relief to his family but to all out citizens as well.
He was a member of
the Sons of Herman, Modern Woodmen, Ancient Order of United Workmen, and the
I.O.O.F., all of which societies will attend his funeral in a body on Friday
afternoon. WG
Is buried in Oak
Hill cemetery
