Death

Casper Husmann, for eighteen years a resident of Wayne township died last Thursday of cancer of the stomach. He was a patient sufferer of the fatal disease since last February. Mr. Husmann was born in Erinfelt, Germany in 1847, and was married while a resident of his national fatherland to Talka Jonsen, in 1876. Four years later he moved to America with his young wife, first settling in the coal producing portion of Illinois, and later in 1887 they came to Jones county and settled in Wayne township where they have since resided with the exception of a short time spent in Scotch Grove township. The deceased is survived by his widow and ten children, all of whom were present at the bedside when death came. Of his children, six are living at home: Freda, John, Frank, Carl, Henry and Tena. Four daughters are married: Mrs. Maggie Huls, of Ryan; Mrs. Anna Hausen of' Mt. Olive, Illinois ; Mrs. Lena Balster, Wayne township, and Mrs. Lizzie Cordes of Cass Center. Mr. Husmann was an energetic, honest man, who was held in high esteem by his neighbors, a fact that was attested by the presence of the largest congregation at the funeral services that over assembled in the Wayne Center church for a like purpose. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mardorf officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the Wayne Center Lutheran church, of which he had so long been a member.
