G, 2nd Minnesota Infantry CIVIL WAR d. 4 Dec 1894∼TSCHUDY--At 8:30 p.m., December 4, 1894, after an illness of several weeks, of cancer, John Baltasar Tschudy, aged 63 years, 6 months, 25 days. The subject of this sketch was born in Schwanden, Canton Glarus, Switzerland, May 9, 1830. February 16, 1860, he was married to Miss Ragula Steinman. April 2, 1861, they landed in America, and settled at Monroe, Wis. From there they moved to Osseo, Minn., where he enlisted in the Second Minnesota volunteer infantry, and served as a soldier of his adopted country, in the defense of its honor and its flag, from December 15, 1863 to July 11, 1865, and had a promotion to corporal. In August, 1870, he moved to this city, where the remainder of his life was passed. The old records of Baker Post were lost, but it is reckoned by the comrades that Mr. Tschudy had been its quartermaster for eighteen successive years. For many years he has been troubled with an angry swelling in his neck and had spoken to some of his most intimate friends about it, but to his wife he had not said anything concerning it until these last days, when he could no longer, through kindly consideration of his life-partner, keep from her the knowledge of his trouble. He suffered a very great deal and was slowly choked to death by his ailment, but at the last it is said he was like one falling quietly to sleep, and his face, as the body lay at rest in the casket, bore its habitual expression. The funeral took place Friday, from the residence of the family, Rev. Dr. Elliott reading the scripture lesson and making some very appropriate remarks. Baker Post G.A.R. took charge of the funeral, Union Camp Sons of Veterans assisting in the exercises. A large concourse followed the marching column to the cemetery keeping step to the military music of the drum corps. Arrived at the grave Commander Lewis and Chaplain Turner read the ritual of the order for the burial of the dead, and our comrade was laid to rest under the flag he loved so well, and the musket salute with which he had been so familiar in his lifetime. He leaves his widow and his sons J.C., John, Henry A., Fred. W., Jacob U., Edward C., and his daughters, Mrs. Mary M. Harmer of Chicago, and Anna K., to mourn the irreparable loss of a loving and devoted husband and father. Comrade Tschudy was one of those quiet, unassuming men who attend strictly to their own affairs and leave others to do the same. No doubt he was a model soldier, whether in the Swiss army, where he served ten years, (two of them against the Sonderbund), or in our own War of the Rebellion. He lived his life in this world in the line of duty; will be sincerely mourned by all his acquaintances, and with his comrades of Baker Post, left behind in the lower army for some years longer, his memory will be cherished as of one faithful to the trusts confided to him, and loyal and true to that liberty which has helped to make of this nation what it is today.
