John Henry Schlosser, second son of John and Barbara Volk Schlosser, was born in Pella, Iowa July 29, 1861, and died December 26th, 1924, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Howard Hayes, near Hedrick, Iowa.
His early days were spent in the vicinity of Pella and prairie City, Ia.

His married life was spent on a farm near Prairie City until fourteen years ago. He and his family then moved to Canada.
He has been a member of the Christian Church for the past 36 years. He was also a member of the Modern Woodman of America.
He has been in declining health the past year, which caused him to seek other climates and medical advice in Rochester, Minn., and other places. His kind of sympathetic disposition endeared him to all who knew him.
He was of the best of husbands and fathers and will be sadly missed by all of the family.
The deceased suffered a stroke of apoplexy and the grim reaper followed in a few hours.
Besides his family he leaves to mourn his loss, four brothers and two sisters and other relatives and friends.
All of the children excepting Mrs. W. F. Meyer of California and Roy Schlosser of Washington were with their mother to bid the father a last fond farewell.
