On April 22d, 1914, he was married to Miss Lizzie Marten. To this union were born three children, on of which preceeded him to the Beyond. For the last few years he has been afflicted with lung trouble. In the hope of regaining his health he went to Colorado last spring. For the last month he was taking treatment in Denver and seemed to be improving until Wednesday morning of last week when he took a sudden relapse and passed away at 11:30 Thursday night against the untiring efforts of three specialists. He leaves to mourn his departure a wife, two small children---Mildred and Luella, also his father, mother, sister, Mrs. Jasper Bonjour, and one brother, Emile. The remains were brought to this city last Saturday evening from Denver and funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the St. Paul's Lutheran church, conducted by Rev. Degner. Interment was given in the Onaga cemetery.
