  	Nellessen, Nicholas Obituary
  Obituary	26 Sep 1925
  Chilton Times
  Nicholas Nellessen, resident of this city for over sixty-five years passed away at his home on South Madison Street early on Tuesday morning following a lingering illness, the last four weeks of which confined him to his bed. Mr. Nellessen was forced to retire from active work about three years ago when his health started to fail and since that time his condition gradually became weaker. Funeral services were held on Friday morning from St. Mary's church, Rev. Fr. L. N. Thelen officiating with interment in St. Mary's cemetery. The Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, of which he was a member attended the funeral in a body. Nicholas Nellessen, son of the late Aegidious and Mary Nellessen, was born on a farm near Marytown on July 18, 1852. At the age of seven years he came to this city with his parents, his father erecting the blacksmith shop now owned by Otto Voight. He learned the blacksmith trade under his father and while engaged in that trade was married to Miss Mary Limburg of St. Cloud at St. Mary's church in this city, on April 30, 1878, they being the first couple to be married in the old St. Mary's church, destroyed by fire several years ago. After marriage they lived above the blacksmith shop for a few years and then Mr. Nellessen erected the home now owned by J. M. Crawford on North Madison Street. Mr. Nellessen then went into the teaming business. While engaged in that business he erected the ice house on West Main Street now owned by John Mertz and handled the city's supply of ice for five years, disposing of his interests in that business to Jacob Kalt. After selling out his teaming business Mr. Nellessen became a cement contractor and built many of the sidewalks in the city. He continued in this business for several years and later when his services were needed by the city as street commissioner he accepted that position and handled it efficiently. He was the street commissioner for the city for over fifteen years. (rest illegible)
