In the days of his infancy he was received into the Christian church and after having been duly instructed in the Christian faith became a communicant member of the Lutheran church. He attended the public schools of his native city and when 15 years of age immigrated to the United States. He went to Clarion township, Bureau county, Illinois where he worked several years as a farm hand. In later years he came to Adair county and worked for Ed Heiman northeast of Fontanelle, here he became acquainted with Anna Wedemeyer and married her June 17, 1873. Mr. Leuthauser rented the farm from Ed Heiman and began to lay the foundation for his future home. In 1875 the Leuthausers moved to a farm further north, the well know Leuthauser farm. Here they lived and toiled for 44 years, prospering in spite of all harships and adversities. Their marriage was blessed with nine children, five sons and four daughters, Mrs. Margaret Weinheimer, Mrs. Lena Fust, Mrs. Anna Kries, Mrs. Mathilda Weinheimer, Herman Leuthauser of Minneapolis, George, Carl, Edwin and Albert Lauthauser. In 1919 Mr. and Mrs. Leuthauser left the old homestead and moved to Fontanelle. In 1923 surrounded by their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Two years later Oct. 9, 1925 his wife passed away and on April 18, 1928 his son, George, departed this life at the age of 41 years. The last four years Mr. Leuthauser lived by himself in his home until his health began to fail when his daughters and sons gave him the best of care. He is survived by his four sons and four daughters one older sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, of Clarion, Ill., 25 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
