Read More	Harmon N. Althouse, another of the fine old men of Nemaha county, passed away at the home of his son, Frank Althouse, Sunday morning at 1 a.m. He was in good health Saturday and was in his usual good spirits. He lived but an hour after his condition became serious in the night. Thus passes another of the grand old men of Nemaha. The Nemaha county history recently issued speaks of Mr. Althouse in numerous accounts of the activities of the early days. He had an originality that always made him interesting. For a quarter of a century or more his driving "horses" was a favorite mule which traveled with the best trotters, demonstrating that the popular accepted facts were not always the last word in achievement. The Nemaha county history says this of Mr. Althouse: "Four generations of the Althouse family have lived in Nemaha county. The family history begins with Conrad and Suanna Althouse who were natives of Germany and Pennsylvania respectively. Conrad Althouse made a settlement in Nemaha county in 1857, just four years preceding his death in 1861. "Harmon Althouse, a son of Conrad Althouse, was born in Somerset county, Pa., July 11, 1834. He preempted 160 acres of unbroken land on Cedar Creek in Rock Creek township, broke up his land with oxen built a one room shack and a grass roof shed for his live stock and later supplanted his primitive structure with better buildings and got his land in good producing shape. The Althouse family came by steamer from Pittsburg down the Ohio river and up the Mississippi to St. Louis, Mo. then via the Missouri river by steamboat to St. Joseph. During the border ruffian days Harmon Althouse took an active part in some of the stirring scenes incidental to making Kansas a free state. He was married in 1859 to Susan Howard born in Andrew county, Mo. August 9, 1842 and a daughter of Abraham and Siotha Jane Howard, natives of Tennessee. Harmon and Susan Althouse became members of the Methodist church. When Harmon came to Kansas to make a home for himself he had no money, passed through all the hardships incidental to a settlement of the county and had his share of them. He has reared a large family of children, a record of which any adopted son of Kansas had good and just right to be proud." Mr. Althouse leaves a widow and the following children: Francis M. Althouse, Mrs. Bettie Buckner of Morris county, Kansas; Mrs. T.M. Bell of Savonburg Kas.; Elmer E. Althouse, Thomas Althouse, Charles Althouse, Mrs. William Felmlee, Mrs. Platt Crawford, Abraham H Althouse of Morris county, Kas., and George Althouse. Mr. Althouse left 28 grandchildren. Among those who were here to the funeral were Jerry Howard and Lummy Howard and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Morrison of Savannah, Mo. The Howard brothers are brothers of Mrs. Althouse. Mrs. Morrison is a sister of Mrs. Althouse. Funeral services were held from the home at 2 p.m. Tuesday conducted by Reverend Vernon, interment was in the Sabetha cemetery. All the children were here to the funeral. ---The Sabetha Herald, Thurs., Oct. 11, 1917
