Hundt, Paul (15 Dec. 1886 - 16 Feb. 1957) 
 

Paul Hundt, 70, Route 1, Abbotsford, Wisconsin, was found dead in the bedroom of his farm home northwest of here, about 3:00 p.m. Saturday. According to an Abbotsford physician, death apparently was due to "cardiac congestive failure." 
 

The body was discovered by Walter Nixdorf, a neighbor, who stopped to see if Hunt "needed anything from town." He said that Hundt suffered from asthma and a heart condition and that he seemed to have difficulty in breathing Wednesday, when Nixdorf had last seen him. 
 

Hundt, who lived alone, is believed to have died some time Wednesday night. The death was investigated by Sheriff Ray Kutsche and Coroner Robert Lulloff, Neillsville, Clark county officials. 
 

A lifetime resident of the town of Mayville, Paul Hundt was born in Dorchester Dec. 15, 1886. He was a member of Peace Evangelical and Reformed church and the Legion post of Dorchester. He had never married. 
 

Survivors are two sisters, Miss Rose Hundt, Madison, and Mrs. Julia Usilton, De Forest, and one brother, Ben Hundt, Duluth. Another brother, George, preceded him in death. 
 

Funeral services were held at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at Peace church at Dorchester and burial was made in the parish cemetery. The Rev. Fred Kollath officiated.
