Mr. Leonard Hern, aged 73 years, 8 months and two days. Deceased was born in Hanover, Germany, January 7, 1832. When 22 years of age he came to America and settled in the then far western state of Illinois, and for more than 30 years lived the life of the pioneer there. Over 20 years ago, he moved to South Dakota and settled in Spring Twp. Hand County, where he again helped to build a new country, making a home and a good farm. A year ago, on account of failing health, he built a little cottage in Orient, where he could end his days in quietness. For two years he battled with disease, not giving up until Saturday, when the call came to cease the warfare here below. Everything that loving care and skilled physicians could do was done, but that Call had to be obeyed. Abscess of the liver was the cause of his death. Surrounded by his children, he fell quietly asleep. Mr. Hern was married in 1860, survived by his widow and nine children, two having died previously, three sons, Joseph, John and Albert, and six daughters, Mrs. Mueller, Mrs. Mary Andrus, Mrs. Clay Walton, Mrs. John Alley, Mrs. Wm. Schmidt, and Mrs.W. M. Organ, and the last two residing in North Dakota. All these but John, who could not be reached with the news in time, were present at the funeral, which took place at the M. E. Church, the sermon being preached by the Rev. P. H. McBeth. A large audience was present. The remains were laid to rest in the cemetery south of town. Mr. Hern was a member of the Lutheran Church nearly all his life. He will be remembered as a Christian man, a strong, sturdy character, a kind husband and father and a good neighbor.
