AUGUST FELIOW, A RESPECTED CITIZEN, WILL BE BLIND FOR THE BALANCE OF IS LIFE
August Feliow, who for the past several years had been janitor of the Methodist Church [Gillett], has been confined to the Bellin Memorial Hospital at Green Bay for the past three weeks. An ulcer formed in his right eye which practically deprived him of his sight, as he has been blind in his left eye for many years.
An operation with the electric needle was performed in an endeavor to prevent the spread of the ulcer and save his sight. This proved futile and his eye was removed early last week. He left the hospital last Tuesday and will make is home for the rest of his life at his daughter's Mrs. Phillip Kroening, 615 North Irwin Street, Green Bay.
An application is being made for a pension for Mr. Feliow, the state law providing for from thirty to forty dollars a month for those deprived of their sight.
Mr. Feliow was caretaker of Wanderers Rest Cemetery [Gillett] for some time and last winter served as janitor of the Gillett Hospital. He also tended several private furnaces and did odd jobs for a number of local families. Mr. Feliow has taken his affliction in a heroic spirit, his greatest regret being that he must practically cease is physical labors. Mr. Feliow will be seventy years of age on his coming birthday.
