Read More	The Columbus Daily Telegram, April 10, 1933 KERKMANN--August Kerkmann Dies-August Kerkmann, 79, well known resident of Platte county and Columbus for the last 50 years, passed away suddenly at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Korger, 2622 ninth street. Mr. Kerkmann was seated at the supper table for the evening meal when he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Death came half an hour later. He had been in failing health since last July when he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. At the time of his first illness he was residing in rooms at 2523 ½ eleventh street, and since that time he had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Korger. His death was quite unexpected as recently he had apparently been in fairly good health. Born on Jan. 8, 1854 in Germany, he came to the United States with his mother, Mrs. William Kerkmann, and his brothers and sisters in 1883, when 29 years of age. He homesteaded on a farm seven miles northeast of Columbus, and his mother and family made their home there with him. In 1890 he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Frahm, and they made their home on his farm, where he continued to reside until 1920. He was a member of St. John's Lutheran church on Shell Creek. Mrs. Kerkmann passed away on Feb. 10, 1920, and shortly after her death he moved to Columbus to retire from farm life. About five years ago, Mr. Kerkmann disposed of his farm land northeast of Columbus. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Dora Kluck, of Schuyler, and Mrs. Karl F. Mueller and Mrs. Frank Korger, of Columbus, one son William Kerkmann of Columbus; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild; one sister, Mrs. Louise Koester, of Battle Creek, and one brother, George Kerkmann, of Columbus. One daughter, Alma, died in infancy, and one son, Henry Kerkmann, died about ten years ago. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Gass chapel, and at 3 p.m. at the St. John's Lutheran church on Shell Creek. Rev. A. Th. Mikkelsen, pastor, will officiate, and burial will be made in the church cemetery. The body will lie in state at the Gass Funeral home until the hour of the service.
