We notice that Rev. Fr’s Lichtenberg of Ossian and Jungerman of Waukon were attendants, with forty other priest in this part of the state, upon the funeral ceremonies over the body of Rev. Fr. Hemesath, who died at Omaha suddenly on the 18th. The services were held in St. Mary’s church at Dubuque on Monday last, and burial took place in St. Francis’ orphanage cemetery in the same city.

Transcriber’s Note: Find-a-Grave shows he is buried in Mt. Calvary Cemetery and his name as Heinrich “Henry” Hemesath. He was born February 12, 1857 and died November 17, 1905
