According to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, he was baptized in early infancy in the name of the Triune God. In the fall of 1884, he came with his parents to the United States, remaining in New York until the spring of 1885, when the family moved to Benkelman, Nebraska where his father took up a homestead northwest of town. On April 9, 1903, he was married to Sarah Viola Scott of Cambridge, Iowa. It was after his marriage that he started to farm the home place, and after the death of his father, he purchased the homestead, where he Eyed until the spring of 1923. In that year he moved to his farm southeast of Benkelman, where he lived until the time of his death. To this happy marriage eight children were born, two of whom died in infancy. The children that mourn his passing are Theodore, Alice Hofer, Ruby Leland of Bohtell, Wash., Fern Tanksley of Cehalis, Washington, Wesley (Bud) at home and Ruth Newman of Haigler, Nebr. The deceased had been in failing health for about three years. In seeking a remedy for his ailment he went to the University Hospital at Omaha last May, but his ailment was so advanced that medical skill could not aid him or effect a cure. He suffered attacks now and then during the summer, and at times he would feel quite well. On the day before Christmas his condition became critical. He was a kind and loving father, his interest in his family being evidenced by the fact that during his conscious moments before his death, his thoughts were on the members of his family. He departed this life on Tuesday, January 7th, at the age of 65 years and 26 days. Beside his faithful wife and his children. he leaves to mourn their loss, a brother. William of Iliff, Colorado; two sisters, Emma Scott of Cambridge, Iowa and Elsie Wells of Gill, Colorado. Three brothers, Herman, Albert and Frank preceded him in death. Fourteen grandchildren mourn the loss of their esteemed grandfather. Beside the relatives, a host of neighbors and friends mourn his passing. The Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. [Printed in the Benkelman, NE Post, January 1941]
