Mr. Rickert had been in ill health for some time, but his condition was not considered dangerous until a short time before his death, which was caused by cancer of the stomach. Mr. Rickert was born in Germany, June 11, 1850, and when but a boy eight years of age, came with his parents to America, settling on a farm in the Shell creek valley, eleven miles north east of this city. Here he spent his boyhood days and later purchased a farm in this neighborhood, where he resided for many years. In 1870 he was united to Miss Katherine Marie Wilke, who passed away four years ago. To this union eight children were born, four of whom are still living. Mr. Rickert was very devoted to his children and since the death of his aged wife, has made his home with his two daughters. He had been a resident of this city for the past five years, coming to Columbus so that he and his wife might spend their declining years in peace and comfort. Before the family came to this city they had erected a beautiful modern residence on east Eleventh street, which had since been the family home. Mr. Rickert was a prosperous farmer and had, by hard labor and thrift obtained a competence. His was a life of peace and happiness and it can well be said that the world was made better by his having lived. The children who are left to mourn his loss are: William Rickert, who lives on the home farm on the Shell creek valley; Mrs. Louis Grotlueschen, and Misses Lizzie and Ida Rickert, all of whom reside in this city. The funeral services were conducted at the late home of the deceased at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. Rev. G. F. Miller, pastor the Shell Creek German Lutheran church, conducted the services and burial was made in the Shell Creek valley cemetery. The A.O.U.W. and Modern Woodmen lodges, of which he was a member, were represented at the funeral.
