  See Image Gottlieb Schuler, whose death we recently announced, was born in Germany in 1841, and came to America in 1867, residing at Kiel, and later moved to Marshfield. Since 1923 he lived at the home of his nephew, Max Schuler. He is survived by one son who resides at Juneau and two daughters, Mrs. Fred Bastian of Kaukauna and Mrs. Peter Baer of Marshfield. Our townsman, Gotlob Schuler is the only brother. The funeral services were conducted at the Max Schuler home. Interment was in the village cemetery. Brillion News – Feb 6, 1925 he death of Gotlob Schuler has taken another pioneer resident of our city who was for many years active in the social and business circles of our community until advancing years forced him into a life of retirement. Gotlob Schuler was born in Germany in 1847. While still a mere boy of 16, the "wanderlust" seized him and he came to America to seek his fortune. Those were the days of the big timber and new settlements throughout our land and carpenters and craftsmen were in great demand. The young German lad soon landed a job that gave him a chance to learn wood-working and cabinet making and this became his vocation. After spending about six years in the eastern section of the country the call of the west drew him to Wisconsin where he located at Kiel. In 1872 he was united in marriage to Amelia Plank, daughter of Henry Plank Sr., the late Justice Radloff of our city tying the nuptial knot, there being at that time no Lutheran church here. This lack was supplied however, when, a year later the young couple came to Brillion, having acquired the former Thurow farm. Mr. Schuler was soon active in organizing a Lutheran congregation here and was one of the founders of the present large and flourishing congregation of that faith. He also became active in public affairs and served as town supervisor and as town treasurer. After a few years on the Thurow farm he purchased what is now known as the Schuler homestead from his wife's parents. In 1911 he disposed of it to his son Max who now conducts the farm, and the decedent acquired eight acres adjoining it from Emil Schaubs and here the old couple have resided since. Failing health came to him and during the past years he spent some time with his daughters at Milwaukee in hopes that change of scene and his children's tender care would ease his declining years. A few weeks ago he evidently felt that the final summons was nigh and he expressed a desire to return to Brillion to end his days in the old home community. He returned a little more than a week ago and passed to his reward on Wednesday, May 6. He is survived by the grieving widow, five sons and three daughters. The sons are Emil and Art Schuler of Milwaukee, Al and max Schuler of Brillion, and William Schuler of Shawano. The daughters are Mrs. Jeanette Jouno, Mrs. Erla Schuler (sic) and Mrs. Olga Schubarth, all of Milwaukee. The funeral took place here last Saturday at the house followed by services in the Lutheran church conducted by Rev. M. Sauer. Interment was in the Lutheran cemetery. The pall bearers were Arthur C. Schroeder, Hans Hansen, Emil Reinhardt, Louis Mumm, William Abel, Charles Steinbach. Brillion News – May 15, 1931
