[Printed in Ness Co. News, Nov. 12, 1959] OBITUARY Louis Amstutz, son of Ulrich and Marian Amstutz, was born July 28, 1875, in Berlin, Gentry County, Mo., and departed this life November 7, 1959 at the Grisell Memorial hospital where he had been a patient for several months. Louis was from a family of 13 children. Those preceding him in death were Mrs. Della Ummel, Mrs. Emma Horchem, Mrs. Laura Huxman, Mrs. Ida Everhart, his sisters; and two brothers, David and Herman; and a sister who died in infancy. Four sisters and one brother are still living. They are: Mrs. May Neyer, Mrs. Lizzie Johannes, Mrs. Anna Sipe, Mrs. Rosa Rutschman, and Fred Amstutz, all of Ransom. Louis at an early age, moved with his family from Missouri to Kansas and homesteaded on a farm southwest of Ransom. This farm is now occupied by the Fred Neyer family. Being one of the early settlers in Ness County, Louis learned many things the hard way. He knew what it was to work and struggle and endure hardships that the early settlers had to face. Many of the water wells in the community are ones he dug by hand. He became a member of the Methodist Church in early manhood and remained true to that faith. On June 20, 1906, he was united in marriage to Alice Wessa. Two children were born to this union, Hazel, who died in infancy, and Ralph, who is of the home. All of his married life had been spent on the farm with the exception of two years which was spent in Colorado and Idaho. He was a man who served his fellow men in numerous ways. He served as township trustee for 20 years. He was superintendent of the Sunday School for a number of years and also served on the school board. He was always a good neighbor and friend, ready to extend a helping hand to any who might need him. He was a great lover of the land and cherished his farm, his home and family. His widow, Alice; and son, Ralph, are left to mourn his passing, besides many relatives and friends. Funeral services were held on Monday, November 9, 2:30 p.m., from the Ransom Methodist Church. Interment was in the Ransom cemetery. [Printed in Ness Co. News, Nov. 12, 1959]
