D. W. KOKEMULLER IS CALLED BY DEATH
D. W. Kokemuller passed away at his home Saturday morning, May 1, 1926, at the age of 66 years. He had been in failing health for several months and the best of medical skill was employed but nothing could relieve his suffering and he passed to his eternal rest at 9 a.m., Saturday.
Dietrich William Kokemuller was born August 11, 1859, at Wohltnetz, Hanover, Germany, and came to Iowa in 1882. Three years later he was married to Miss Caroline Fohring, who passed away Nov. 3, 1913. Mr. Kokemuller followed the occupation of farming and was one of Jackson county's most successful farmers. He moved to this city eleven years ago where he has since resided.
On November 15, 1914, he was married to Matilda Grundmann, who with his three children, Charles of Baldwin, William of Onslow and Mrs. Margaret Ross of Ft. Des Moines, are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. He is also survived by one brother, William of Nashville.
Mr. Kokemuller was a member of the Lutheran church and was very regular in attendance as long as his health permitted.
Funeral services were held at the Lutheran church this afternoon, the pastor, Rev. E. A. Biedermann, officiating. Burial was made in the Pence cemetery near Baldwin.
