Deceased was married at Kansas City, Nov. 4, 1900, to Miss Rosa Wilhelm. The funeral service was conducted at the German M. E. church on Bowling Green Prairie, Dec. 26, by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Meyer, after which the remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends, there to await the resurrection mourn. He leaves besides his heart-broken bride of seven weeks, a father, one brother, two sisters, three half brothers and one half-sister to mourn his loss. He contracted a cold by helping his father butcher, which rapidly developed into pneumonia. After the first few days he rallied sufficient to sit up and it was thought he would recover, being young and robust; but he caught a second cold which resulted in a relapse.
He stood high in the esteem of all who knew him, and his death will be deeply felt in this community. His bereaved widow has the sympathy of all. Peace to his ashes.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
