| Photograph from the Krueger Collection at the Wisconsin Historical Society. Appears on Vanderbilt Pairings Project, PH 5003 (5) #45. Text for this image on the back of the Vanderbilt Pairing reads, "Floral display at the funeral of William Jaeger, died April 12th 1912(?)." On the back of the Pairing, "PARAPHRASE: The man who [in this house] habitually pronounced what he wanted to have accepted as truth, questioned, however, in his own mind, how much he really understood. He went over and over arguments in his head and, as he came to the end of his life, realized that his admission to Heaven [most righteous due] was not something he could obtain simply by self-serving prayer, but had to be achieved by right living." |
