Married.
Father: Chas. Sasse-b-Germany.
Mother: Mary Manson-b-Germany.

Henry C. Sasse, one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of the Bowling Green country, south of Dalton, died at his home Thursday afternoon, August 16, his death following a long illness of bladder trouble, and complications.
Mr. Sasse had been in failing health for about three years. The best of medical skill was employed, and loving hands left nothing undone in their efforts to check the effects of disease, but these measures only served to lengthen his life for a short time. Mr. Sasse returned several weeks ago from St. John's hospital, St. Louis, where he spent almost a year under treatment.
Henry Charles Sasse, son of Charles and Mary Manson Sasse, was born near Brunswick July 15, 1852, and at his death was aged 71 years, 1 month and 1 day. Practically his entire life was spent in the vicinity of Brunswick and Dalton. For many years he operated one of the largest and finest farms on Bowling Green prairie, and was known as one of the most substantial and influential citizens in that part of the county.
Mr. Sasse was married October 20, 1896, to Ida Noll, who survives him. Nine children were born of this union, all of whom are living, namely, Romeo, Emma, Christ, Roy, Lena, Adeline, William Frederick, Henry Charles and Catherine. All the children are at home. Besides his wife and children Mr. Sasse leaves two sisters, Mrs. George Hechler, Sr., and Mrs. Mary Kalinka, both of the vicinity of Dalton. One brother, Wm. F. Sasse, preceded him in death a number of years ago and one sister, Mrs. Edward Bucksath passed away three weeks ago.
Henry Sasse was known as one of the most extensive and successful farmers in Bowling Green Prairie, one of the most valuable and productive section of Chariton county. He was a tireless worker; employing his time industriously in the management of his farm, and keeping it in a high state of cultivation and productiveness. In his home he was kind and indulgent to his family and during his long illness he often remarked that he was ready to be taken away, his chief regret being that he was not permitted to live to assist in further rearing and developing his children in to useful men and women. Among his friends and neighbors he was sociable, neighborly and accommodating, and enjoyed the friendship and the high esteem of the entire community. Many friends mourn the passing of a good friend and a helpful neighbor.
Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at the home and at the German M. E. church, south of Dalton, by Rev. E. W. Abel, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church of Brunswick. A large gathering of friends and relatives attended the services, and accompanied the remains to their final resting place in Dalton Cemetery.
