During the afternoon, at 1:35, on December 25th, Mr. Otto Fascher passed away. He was born on August 9th, 1872, in Klein Kuesten, Germany, as son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fascher, nee Welle. In the old country Mr. Fascher grew up and received his education. In 1896 he came to America and established his home in Clayton county. His mother arrived here a year earlier and passed away in the spring of 1916 at the same home where Mr. Fascher died.

Mrs. Fascher herself died in 1910. After the death of his wife the sister of Mr. Fascher kept home for him. Later when his son, Arno, was married he stayed with him on the farm.
