OBITUARY

Charles Peter Weede was born in what was formerly the Duchy of Holstein, Germany, on December 12, 1869. As an infant he was baptized in the name of the Triume God and later he renewed his baptismal covenant in the rite of confirmation, becoming a member of the Lutheran church which he also remained until his death. His childhood was spent in Germany, but at the age of 16 he immigrated to this country, making his home in the vicinity of Lost Nation, and supporting himself by working as a farm hand.

He was united in marriage to Miss Lena Jensen at Lost Nation on Feb. 20, 1894. For seven years they made their home on a farm near Lost Nation. In the year 1901 they removed to a farm one-half miles west of Nashville, where they have been living ever since. To this union there were born seven children, four of whom are married and living in the vicinity of Nashville and Maquoketa. The children are as follows: Mrs. William Bartels, Mrs. Louis Gruenwald, Henry, Mrs. Peter Weirup, Mrs. Elmer Wulf, Hilda and Lawrence.

Mr. Weede in life was a Christian gentleman, of quiet, unassuming nature, a friend to everyone and honored and respected by all who knew him. It was indeed a shock to his many friends to learn of his death at the age of 56 years, 1 month and 26 days of pneumonia. Besides his sorrowing wife and children, there live to mourn his death, his mother, two brothers and a sister in Germany, four sons-in-law, nine grandchildren, a half-sister, a large circle of other relatives and a host of friends. The funeral services were held on Wednesday, Feb 11, at one o'clock at the home and at 1:30 at the church. Interment was made in the cemetery at Buckhorn, Rev. E. A. Biedermann officiated.
