Clayton County Register, Thur., 26 July 1934.

Louis Heuer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Friedrich Heuer, nee Theodor, died last Friday. He was born August 1, 1857, in Saxony, Germany. In the old country he was baptized and confirmed. Later he served three years in the former German Imperial Army. About 1884 he emigrated to America and arrived first at Clayton Center. On February 24, 1887, he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Blanck, by the late Rev. Seifert.

The Heuer family lived and worked on different farms in Clayton county. This union was blessed with seven surviving children. Mrs. Heuer was called to rest January 11, 1912. After this Mr. Heuer sold his farm close to Clayton Center and retired to Guttenberg, where he spent 18 years. A few years ago he took up farming again on the other side of Farmersburg. His death was caused by a sun-stroke on July 20th, 7:30.

A sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Blume, and a brother, Wm. Theodor, preceded him in death. Mr. Heuer's whole lifetime was 76 years, 11 months and 20 days.

Those mourning are his children, relatives and friends: Mrs. Wm. Ihlenfeld and family, Farmersburg; Mrs. Ernest Ihlenfeld and family, Farmersburg; Mrs. Harry Schievelbein and family, of Farmersburg; Otto Heuer and family, Lansing, Iowa; Arno Heuer, Garnavillo; Paul Heuer and family, Milwaukee, Wis.; and Mrs. Horace Larson and family, Monona; and 11 grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 at the home of Mr. Ihlenfeld and in the Lutheran Zion's church at Clayton Center. Interment was made at the old cemetery, the Rev. Berthold F. Korte officiating.
