Services were conducted by Reverend P A Hinrichs of Eureka, assisted by Reverend Gehring, of the Lutheran church, west of Eureka. The deceased had suffered a heart attack during the night and then seemed to be somewhat improved. He suffered a relapse later in the morning, however, and passed away very suddenly. George Zeller was born June 03, 1867, in Bessarabia, South Russia, the son of Johannes Zeller and Elizabeth Neher. He came to the United States with his parents in 1884, the family spending a few months at Menno before settling on a farm west of Eureka. On July 10, 1890, he was married to Rosina Grenz and to this union 13 children were born, two daughters preceding him in death. The young couple settled on a farm, 12 miles north of Java, where they resided until 1908 when they moved to Java. They lived in the home now owned and occupied by the A C Schlepp family until 1916 when they moved back to their farm in Campbell County, residing there until 1925 when they moved to Eureka where they have lived since. When he moved to Java, he opened an implement shop, which he purchased from the Huether Brothers, operating the business until shortly before he moved back to his farm, when he sold the implement concern to the Java Equity Exchange. While in Java, he was prominent in civic, school and church affairs serving on the Town Board, the school board, and as deacon in the Java Lutheran church for many years. He served as commissiner of Campbell county in 1906 and 1909 and was state representative from that county in 1918 and 1919. While residing in Java and vicinity he was also on the Board of directors of the Java Equity Exchange for many years. He was a lifelong member and faithful worker of the Lutheran church both in Java and Eureka. Burial was made in the Lutheran cemetery at Eureka.
