- Eau Claire Leader

Phillip N. Lindenthaler
(Fall Creek Journal)
Philip S. Lindenthaler, who died at the Luther Hospital in Eau Claire on October 27, was born at Madison, April 30, 1856, to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lindenthaler, who came to America from the Tryol in Switzerland. In the month of June 1865, the family moved from Madison to Eau Claire and in July of the same year, they settled on the land just north of Fall Creek and part of which now comprises the northeast section of the village proper. Here the subject of this obituary grew to manhood and on November 28, 1879, he was married to Miss Matilda Bartz and this union was blessed with five children, two of whom survive. Mrs. Benhard V. Joern of Eau Claire, and Mr. George Lindenthaler of Fall Creek. Four sisters also survive, Mrs. Emil Schultz of Glendive, Mont.; Mrs. Ed. Zutter of Chippewa; Mrs. Chas. Peuse of the town of Washington and Mrs. Rud. Schwartz of Fall Creek. His brother George, with whom he was associated in Business under the firm name of Lindenthaler Bros. died twenty-six years ago on the same date of the year, October 27. This is also the birthday of the surviving widow of the late deceased.
Since disposing of his business he spent a number of years working his farm. He was prominent in local public affairs. He served several terms as trustee on the village council. He was also a stockholder and director of the State bank of Fall Creek since its organization. For the past few years it was noticed that he was failing in health, but it was not until about two weeks before his death that the crisis came. He was taken to the hospital on October 14 and there it was discovered that he suffered with two internal cancers. Later pneumonia developed and he passed away.
The funeral was held Sunday, Oct. 31, Rev. Schorl officiating, and a very large number of people attended to pay their last tribute. All that was mortal of our respected townsman has found peaceful rest on the silent cemetery and his soul has gone where there is no night, but one immortal day.
