Pioneer Succumbed at Ripe Old Age of 89 Years, 2 months, 13 days (The following report on the death of John H. Mohning was turned in on time by the pastor, but due to an error in this office it was improperly headed, so that, when the Monday paper was so crowded that something had to be left out, this was one of the stories that were left out. It is printed herewith with apologies to the members of the family, the minister, and all others concerned.) John H. Mohning, deceased resident of Marion township, Plymouth County, Iowa was born at Garnavillo, Clayton county, Iowa, on October 21, 1856. On February 21, 1879, he was united in marriage to Margaret Moellering, and the young couple pioneered in Plymouth County, Iowa, where both lived for many years together until the death of Mrs. Mohning a number of years ago. Having no children of their own, they however provided a happy home for Sarah Westcott, whom they adopted and reared with all the care and love parents could bestow. When she died in 1920, Mr. and Mrs. Mohning assumed the care of her eight children, who together with the son-in-law, still survive. Mrs. Mohning passed away June 19, 1943. From that time on, John Mohning has been residing on the home-place in Marion township, and has been lovingly cared for in his infirmities by his son-in-law, Henry Meyer, and also by his grandchild and her husband and family, namely Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lauters and family. Mr. Mohning has been totally deaf for many years. However, in spite of this handicap, he faced all his days with a staunch faith in his God and Heavenly Father and his Lord Jesus Christ. He loved to spend much of his time reading the Bible and prayer books and books of meditation. Not long ago his pastor visited him and administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to him; for he found much strengthening of faith in the blessed sacrament, and much happiness in those who visited him. The deceased has been a member of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church for many years. After a lingering sickness of several months, during which time he seemed to grow weaker and losing strength, Thursday afternoon, January 3, 1946, Mr. Mohning weakened gradually until 7:10 in the evening when he was peacefully called to his eternal reward. He passed away at the ripe old age of 89 years, two months, and 13 days. The deceased leaves to survive him the following: one son-in-law, Henry Meyer; grandchildren: Leona Moeller, Glendale, Calif.; Alvin Meyer of Malta, Montana; Harold Meyer of Ghent, Minn. (who is now in Pearl Harbor); Lt. Lloyd Meyer, with occupation forces in Germany; Mrs. Laura Lauters and Herbert Meyer of LeMars; Erwin Meyer of Davenport, Iowa; and Mrs. Helen Gates of Marcus, Iowa; two sisters, Mrs. Charles Hedeman of Garnavillo, Iowa and Mrs. Anna Harnack of Remsen. Twenty great grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren also survive. Funeral services were held Sunday, January 6, at 2:15 at Mauer's funeral parlors and at 2:30 at St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church, with Rev. Elmer Broetzmann officiating. The St. John's quartet furnished the anthems, accompanied by Mrs. Ruth Grahlmann at the organ.
