Read More	The Hooper Sentinel April 8, 1943 Death Sunday of William M. Kusel The death of W. M. Kusel, resident and business man of this community for the past 45 years, occurred at his home Sunday evening at around 10 o'clock and followed a several month's period of failing health during the latter weeks of which time he was bedfast. About six weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Kusel made a trip to the Mayo Bros. clinic at Rochester, Minn., in the hopes that the progress of the disease which was undermining his health might be stayed, but the diagnosis left no hope for improvement and following their return home his decline was rapid, death mercifully releasing him from his sufferings. William M. Kusel was the son of Mr. and Mrs. August Kusel, pioneer settlers of the Logan creek valley northeast of Hooper where they were members of a colony of early day homesteaders. He was born on February 23, 1873, and died April 4, 1943, at the age of 70 years, one month and 11 days. When their son was but a year old, the family moved to Watertown, Wis. where he grew to young manhood and where he learned the jeweler and watch repairing trade, which he followed at Chicago and also in Missouri before coming to Hooper to be employed by the E. W. Renkin drug and jewelry company. After a few years of this employment, Mr. Kusel and the late W. M. Zellers went into partnership and later he went into business for himself, practicing his trade in connection with operating a jewelry store for many years and during the past few years taking care of his bench work at his home. On June 15, 1911, he was united in marriage to Miss Frieda Heine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Heine, and to their union were born the two daughters, who with the wife and mother survive to mourn this first break in their close family circle. Mr. Kusel was a member of Grace Lutheran church and of Longfellow lodge No. 89, Knights of Pythias, which fraternal order he served in many capacities over a long period of years. In earlier days he was a member of the Hooper concert band, the men's chorus and active in church choir work. By nature he was friendly and genial, a favorite companion of his large circle of friends because of his cheerful disposition and kindly ways. In addition to Mrs. Kusel and the daughters, Mrs. Glenn Lundstrom of Carleton and Miss Margaret Kusel of Chicago, he is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Wm. Meschke of Rochester, Minn., and Mrs. Henry Hilbert of Toms River, N. J. Funeral rites were held yesterday afternoon with a prayer service at the home at 2:15 and service at Grace Lutheran church at 2:30, Rev. Paul deFreese officiating. Music for the services was by Donald Shaffer, soloist, and Cathleen Sarratt, organist. Pallbearers were J. Zellers, Alfred Stroh, Richard Stroh, Harry Schurman, Albert Fauss and Rudolph Thedens. All business houses were closed during the hour in which the rites were held. Interment, directed by Wollmer & Warne, was made in the Hooper cemetery. Close relatives from a distance who came for the services were Mrs. Wm. Meschke of Rochester, Minn., and Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Heine and Mary of Grand Island.
