CARL H THUMAN DIED AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS
He Had Been Resident Of Wayne Township Major Portion Of His Life
The unexpected death of Carl H. Thuman occurred at the John McDonald hospital last Saturday, following a two days' illness of pneumonia. Mr. Thuman was also afflicted with heart trouble. He completed his cream route last week, Tuesday, March 17, and complained of feeling ill. The next morning he was taken to the McDonald hospital, where attending physicians held out little hope for his recovery, and his death followed the succeeding day.
Mr. Thuman was the son of Bernhard and Augusta (nee Reuter) Thuman. He was born in Oldenburg, Germany, November 24, 1882. He was baptized in infancy and came to the United States with his family in 1888. He spent his boyhood days in the home of his mother in Wayne township. At the age of fifteen years, he was confirmed in the Lutheran church, by Rev. C. Mardorf, who was pastor of Zion's church at that time.
During the succeeding years Mr. Thuman was employed at various farms. He was married May 2, 1905 to Johanna Mary Hayen. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Thuman lived on several rented farms. Twelve years ago they purchased a forty acre farm near amber, where they since have made their home.
There were four children born to this union, viz: Mrs. Gladys Tischauser, and Hattie, Lorene and Willis who live at home. In addition to his widow and children, Mr. Thuman is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Leroy Clark, Jr. of Monticello, Mrs. Fred Husmann of Monticello; a half sister, Mrs. Verne Serbousck of Center Junction; one brother Bernard Thuman of Scotch Grove; one half brother, William Helgens of Wayne township and two grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at St. Matthew's Lutheran church in Monticello last Monday afternoon. Rev. A. Matthias, pastor of the Anamosa Lutheran church, assisted by Rev. H.L. Adix of Monticello, had charge of the services. Burial was made at Oakwood cemetery.
