- Albert Kersten Chilton Times November 16, 1907
A telegram was received from Crivitz, Tuesday by Henry Kersten, informing him that his nephew, Albert J. Kersten, had died that morning. The young man, who was born in this city, on Jan. 28, 1877, was the third son of Theo. Kersten. He resided here from boyhood and for some time clerked in Dorschel's store. In 1902 he left for Milwaukee where he followed clerking for a time and later worked for the Milwaukee railroad. In July last he was married at Mauston to Miss Marie Pfeiffer of that place, and continues to reside in Milwaukee until some two months ago when through failing health he was obliged to give up work and then went to Crivitz. He was a young man of an extremely sunny disposition and made friends with everyone with whom he came in contact, either socially or in a business way and deep sorrow for his untimely death is expressed by his many friends and associates in Chilton.
Funeral services were conducted at the Catholic church at Crivitz on Thursday morning and the remains were then brought to his city on the afternoon train and escorted to St. Mary's church by members of the Catholic Knights, of which order the deceased was a member in good standing. After a short service at the church he was laid at rest in St. Mary's cemetery. Friday morning Requiem Mass was celebrated for him at St. Mary's church.
