FORMER CAPTAIN IS LAID TO REST

Funeral services for Gustave Pertling, 74 years old, retired secretary of the 
Jackson Brewing Company who in the 1880s was captain of the Mississippi river 
steamboat Grover Cleveland, were held Saturday at the auxiliary funeral home of 
Jacob Schoen and Son, 3827 Canal street. Religious services were held at Our 
Lady of the Holy Rosary church.

Mr. Oertling, who died Friday, had been ill for two years. A native of New 
Orleans, he lived at 1500 Leda street.

After he retired as captain of the Grover Cleveland, he entered the hardware 
business in New Orleans with his father, Henry Oertling. When this firm went out 
of business, Gustave Oertling became associated with the New Orleans Brewing 
Company, which later became the Louisiana Brewing Company. He left this firm to 
become associated with the Jackson Brewing Company. He retired 14 years ago.

Following his retirement from the brewing business he formed a company known as 
the Crescent Broom Manufacturing Company, 600 St. Claude street, and was 
president of it until it was dissolved several years ago.

Surviving are two children, Warren H. Oertling and Chester G. Oertling; seven 
grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
