DREWELOW LIFE RESIDENT OF COUNTY DIES Always Active in Community Activities Herman Drewelow died at 5:15 Wednesday morning at St. Joseph's hospital where he had been a patient 10 days. Death was due to complications of age as he was about to reach his 86th year. The eldest child of Gustav and Augusta Drewelow, he was born July 9, 1861 on a farm near Lawler, and lived in Chickasaw county throughout his entire lifetime. Here he received his education in the rural schools. His parents moved from Lawler to land south and east of New Hampton where the Drewelow families became prominent farmers. When one thinks of Boyd, they are reminded of the Drewelow's who with other early settlers were instrumental in the establishing this little village. December 6, 1883 he was married to Miss Ernestine Schulz. The ceremony was performed in St. Paul's Lutheran church by Rev. Wachtel. They located in the Boyd section and were actively interested in bringing the railroad through their farm, as he donated land for the right of way and worked on the grade, earning 50 cents a day. His wife worked equally as hard on this project as she boarded the workmen and managed at odd times to drive a team in building the grade. It was about three years before two small buildings were brought in on flat cars to serve as a freight depot and waiting room, later a new platform was added, along with other improvements and Boyd became one of the thriving little business towns of early years. For a few years after their marriage they retained their membership in St. Paul's Lutheran church. Later they united with St. John's Lutheran church near Boyd. In church and all other activities which went for the betterment of his community, Mr. Drewelow gave unstintingly of his time and ability. Ten children were born to the couple: Julius, Herman, Emil, Albert and Reinhart of New Hampton and Boyd vicinity; William of Beardsley, Minnesota; and daughters, (Martha) Mrs. Frank Zierath of New Hampton; (Tena) Mrs. Herman Schulz of Grand Meadow, Minnesota; and (Elsie) Mrs. Fred Von Borstel of Hammond, Indiana. Other survivors are forty-four grandchildren and 47 great grandchildren. One son, Otto, died at the age of ten years and his wife preceded him March 16, 1944. Since he has made his home the greater part of the time with his son, Reinhart and family at the Herman Drewelow home where he was cared for two weeks before being taken to the hospital. In all he was confined to his bed, but about one month. Three brothers and one sister also preceded him in death. The body was taken from the Perry Chapel to St. John's Lutheran church where Rev. Theo. Fritschel conducted the funeral services at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Miss Laura Jean Betzer, soloist, was accompanied by Miss Eva Karnatz as she sang the hymns, "Come To Me" and "Abide With Me". Burial was in the family plot in the Boyd Cemetery. Pallbearers were his six grandsons: Walter Zierath, Waterloo; Elgar Schulz, Grand Meadow, Minnesota; Gerald Drewelow, Lawler; Walter and Robert Drewelow of New Hampton and Earl Drewelow, Boyd.
