The body of Fred Volk, whose sudden death at a Lincoln hospital on Wednesday, January 28, was announced last week, was brought to Battle Creek on Thursday afternoon accompanied by the wife and son George, and August Volk, a brother, and taken to the home southeast of town. Funeral services under the auspices of the Masonic order were held at the Methodist church at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon Rev. L.L. Chambers delivering the address. The church could not accommodate the large number who gathered to pay last respects and hundreds witnessed the burial rites at Union cemetery. George Frederick Volk was born August 13, 1869 in Beerfelden, Hessen Darmstadt, Germany, his age at death being 55 years, 5 months, and 15 days. He came to America with his parents in 1882 locating in Ottawa, Illinois (Note: this is likely where he met Martha Horn) He became a resident of Battle Creek community when his parents came to this place in 1883 and the remainder of his life was spent here. Mr. Volk was married to Martha Lydia Horn on October 23, 1890. In the death of Fred Volk, the community loses one of its most progressive as well as honored residents. He stood in high with business associates as a man who never violated his obligations or shirked a duty when his assistance in community affairs was needed. Aside from his wife and two sons, Elmer and George, there survived four brothers and four sisters: William of Meadow Grove; August, Conrad and John of Battle Creek; Mrs. A.J. Hengstler of Norfolk; Mrs. F. S. Hannen and Mrs. H. Kahler of Meadow Grove, and Mrs. A. J. Schmidt of Madison. (Thank you to Lee Volk for this obituary sent to me) SJ Donath
