Havelock, Ia., June 10 -- Joseph C. Schallan was born in Ferl [Verl], Westfalen, Germany, on May 16, 1881 and died at Mercy hospital in Fort Dodge, May 30. His death occurred following an unsuccessful attempt to save his life by means of blood transfusions, for which seven Havelock youths volunteered. They were, his son, Chester, Clyde McVey, Roswald Hauswirth, Lyle Oberlin, Jesse Boysen, Merrit Brazier and Gale Cooksey. His death was caused by blood poisoning. When one year old, Mr. Schallan's parents came to the United States and resided near Cedar Rapids. On November 6, 1907 he was united in marriage to Mary Wagner at Yankton, S.D. To this union were born nine children, five of whom are living, Chester, Rose, Lillian, Opaline and Eugene. The Schallan family moved to Havelock in 1911 and Mr. Schallan has operated a blacksmith and machine shop. For the last few year[s] he has operated a manufacturing establishment. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Independent Order of Muscovites and Modern Woodmen of America. On the last election he was elected to the office of mayor of Havelock. Besides his wife and five children, he is survived by four brothers and three sisters and a host of friends by whom he will be so sadly missed. He was a kind and loving husband and father, a friend of all, ever ready to lend a helping hand. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church at 2:30, Rev. C. L. Day officiating. This was one of the largest funerals ever held here. The members of the I. O. O. F. lodge formed in a body and marched to the church. A quartette composed of Mrs. J. C. Barth, Mrs. John DeYoung, J. W. Loots and Olin Young with Mrs. Day at the piano furnished appropriate music. J. F. Carlson and C. G. James of Pocahontas were honorary pall bearers. Active pall bearers were: Dr. D. W. Glascock, Adolph Johnson, O. D. Van Horsen, Will Hilton, Sebo Classen and Frank Highee. Flowers were profuse and beautiful mute evidence of the esteem in which he was held. He was laid to rest in Washington cemetery, the I. O. O. F. lodge having charge of the services there. Those attending the services from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wagner and son Will of Spencer, Neb., Mrs. Tim Classen and daughter Lenore and son Otto of Spencer, Neb., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schallan [Schallau] and son Ervin [Irvin] of Sutherland, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schallan [Schallau] of Grinnell, Mrs. Ed. Kelley of Waterloo, Mrs. Joe Fitzgerald of Vinton, Con Schallan [Schallau] and Mrs. Tim [Tom] Nolan of Van Horne, Otto Wagner and Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson of Newell [Newhall], Mr. and Mrs. John Jacobsen of Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Derr and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lanus of Pocahontas and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright of Curlew. Notes: This transcription of the obituary was done by Joseph B. Schallan, grandson of Joseph C. Schallan. The transcriber's corrections appear in brackets. The original family surname was "Schallau," changed to "Schallan" by Joseph C. sometime between 1910 and 1920, for reasons now unknown to the family. Joseph C. Schallan's family originated on a farm near Bornholte, Verl, Gütersloh District, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. He was born in Dortmund after his father left Verl around 1870 for work in the mines of the Ruhr Basin. [The obituary above is incorrect concerning his birthplace.] The Schallau family arrived at the Castle Garden Immigration Station, New York City, on board the immigrant steamship "Pieter de Coninck" on April 3, 1882. The family's surname in Germany was Große-Schallau or Großeschallau.
