Elkader Register, Thur., 01 Mar. 1923.

Gottfried Bandow passed away at his home here at 12:45 a.m. Sunday, February 25th, at the age of 66 years, 11 months and 27 days.

Deceased was born February 26, 1856, in Seehausen, Germany, coming to this country with his parents in 1865, and located on a farm in Wagner township, Clayton county, Iowa, where he received his education in the rural schools.

On April 7, 1891, he was united in marriage to Louisa Carolina Radloff, and to this union six children were born, all of whom are living at the present time.

The couple continued on the farm until 1903, at which time they moved to Elkader, which was to be his home the rest of his life. Several years later he engaged in the machine business but after a few years he retired.

For a number of years he suffered with ulcers, which at times caused him great distress, but after submitting to several operations he was greatly relieved. On February 9th he took sick and was subject to the hiccough almost constantly. On February 24th pneumonia set in which resulted in his death, February 25th. All that loving care and medical skill could do was done to prolong the life of the beloved, but it was all in vain.

He is survived by the widow and six children: Elmer of Intake, Mont., Mrs. Grace Orvis of St. Olaf, Iowa, Mrs. Lucy Moelling of Garnavillo, Iowa, Raymond of Newport, Wash., LeRoy and Alice at home. He also leaves three grandchildren, one brother Carl, and a sister, Mrs. George Munger, both of Elkader, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. H. Franke on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 at the house and at 2:00 o'clock at the Evangelical church, of which the deceased was a member. His earthly remains were laid to rest in the East Side cemetery. Our sympathy goes out to the sorrowing family.
