His first wife, nee Augusta Meyer, died in 1900, and he was married again in 1905 to Miss Wilhelmina Waechter, who died in 1927. The six children of the family all live near Blue Hill. They are Herman, Walter, Adolph and Herbert who operates farms; Mrs William Amanda Brockstadter of Kenesaw, and Oscar A. Kort of Blue Hill. Mr Kort helped to draw up the charter when Trinity Church was organized and at that time held the office of secretary-treasurer of the congregation. He later served as chairman of the voting members, and is now a member of that body. Blue Hill Leader 4 Nov 1932 Front Page In the dying days of the old year the Lord of life and death called a prominent member of Trinity Luther church into eternity, August Kort, who has been with us since the beginning of our congregation at its organization in 1882. He faithfully served his church in various offices, as elder, secretary, and chairman of the voting members meetings for many years. The Lord has come to take the weary pilgrim home for eternal rest. His end came calmly and peacefully last Saturday, December 28, at about 10:45 in the morning. He reached the ripe old age of 83 years, 6 months, and 6 days. August Kort was born June 22, 1852, in Groszlueben at Wilsnack, province Brandenburg, Germany. At that place he was baptized in the name of the Triune God and confirmed in the Lutheran church. In 1872, at the age of 19, he came to America, to stop for a short time at Crete, Nebraska. Later during the same year, he continued to Adams county to take up a homestead in the vicinity of Blue Hill. In 1882 when Trinity Lutheran church was organized, Mr Kort was one of its charter members, who at all times was concerned about the welfare of his church. October 25, 1878 he was united in marriage to Augusta Meyer. This union was blessed with 8 children, namely: Flora, Herman, Walter, Adolph, Herbert, Alma, Amanda, and Henry August, three of whom have preceded their father in death, Henry August, who died in infancy, Alma in 1909, and Flora in 1928. On December 29, 1900, his first wife departed this life. On January 5, 1905 he was married to Wilhelmina Waechter. One child was born to this union, Oscar. July 26, 1927 his second wife preceded him into eternity. Since then his home has been with the remaining children, and especially with his daughter, Amanda Bockstadter, where he has been continuously since 1933. He has been in failing health for the past 3 years and was practically bedfast since March 1935. Those who mourn his death are 2 brothers, Albert Kort and Christian Kort, both of Blue Hill, 6 children, Herman Kort of Ayr, Walter Kort of Ayr, Adolph Kort of Blue Hill, Herbert Kort of Ayr, Amanda Bockstadter of Kenesaw, and Oscar A. Kort of Blue Hill; 17 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren. The funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon from the old home place 3 miles north of Blue Hill by pastor. At 2 o’clock German and English services were held in Trinity Lutheran church in Blue Hill. After the close of service the body was taken to Trinity Lutheran Cemetery for its final resting place.
