LEHRMAN A deep shadow was cast upon this entire community last Thursday evening when the shocking news of the tragic death with which Mr. William Lehrman, Sr., met was spread over the wires in every direction. The deceased, William John Henry Conrad Lehrman, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lehrman, was born in Jackson county, Iowa, August 29, 1864. He was confirmed in the Lutheran faith on March 21, 1881, at Fort Wayne, Ind., by the now sainted Rev. H.G. Sauer. On August 17, 1887, he was united in marriage with Miss Wilhelmine Jacobs at Mechanicsville, Iowa, by the Rev. J. H. Brammer. In the same year he with his young wife came west to Sioux county and established his own hearth on a farm six miles southeast of Maurice and resided there until death. To this happy union eleven children were born, five sons and six daughters. Frank, the oldest of the sons, preceded his father in death. LOST BALANCE AND FELL Mr. Lehrman, together with his faithful helpmate, by hard and honest labor, was successful in accumulating enough earthly goods to enable them to live at ease in the older days. The Lord in whom they had put their trust had indeed visibly blessed the labors of their hands. Advancing in age he no longer engaged in the harder work on the farm, but would help his son whenever he could and felt able to. And so, when last Thursday evening his son was unloading the last load of corn for the day with an elevator, he went up into the high corn crib to spread the corn. And there it happened that, while he apparently shifted the spout of the elevator, he must have lost his balanced and fell from a height of 16 feet to the cement floor of the alleyway breaking his neck. This occurred at about 6:30 o'clock. No one was there to witness the accident. However, about 20 minutes after the corn had been unloaded and the family was about ready to take their supper the father had not yet made his appearance, and when, upon calling him, no answer was received his son and his help went in search of him, and, coming to the corn crib found him prostrated on the floor with life totally extinct. LEAVES TEN CHILDREN He attained the age of 67 years, 1 month, and 9 days and leaves to mourn his loss his widow, 4 sons; Oscar, William, Lorenz, and Harold, all of this community; 6 daughters, Mrs. Henry Bremer, of Ocheyedan, Mrs. Earle Cooper of LeMars, Mrs. Frank Stubbert of Sioux City, Mrs. John Van Gelder of Rock Rapids, Evelyn and Carmen; eleven children; his only surviving brother, Henry, of Stanwood, Iowa. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon, Oct. 12 at 1 o'clock from the home and at 2 o'clock from St. John's Lutheran church, 4 miles east of Ireton, with Rev. C.D. Nuoffer in charge, who preached on the text found in Isaiah 57:2, in the presence of a very large concourse of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. A choir consisting of Mrs. Herbert Vander Hamm, the Misses Leona and Luella Vander Hamm and Messrs. Walter and Leonard Vander Hamm , with Miss Delah Vander Hamm at the instrument say at the house, "Asleep in Jesus" and at the church "Beloved, It is Well."
