Death of Well Known Farmer

The sudden death of John B. Geving, a well known farmer of Jefferson township, which occurred at his home Saturday, July 11, 1925, was a shock to his relatives and friends. He had been in ill health for about two years, but had been up and about most of the time. He was born in Norway and was 71 years of age. He came to this country with his parents at the age of eleven years. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Mrs. Geo. Kosbau of Jefferson, and three sons, Herbert of Paint Creek township, and Theodore and Joseph at home. A sister, Mrs. A. Johnson, and brother, Geo Geving, also survive him. Another sister, Miss Anna Geving, passed away six weeks ago. Funeral services were held at the West Paint Creek Church Tuesday morning with interment in the cemetery nearby.
