Rudolph Clauson,
Young Farmer, Dies
of Blood Poisoning
Rudolph Clauson passed away at his farm home seven and a half miles north of Osage at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, after an illness of just three days from blood poisoning.
Mr. Clauson and his brother, Henry, had been treating some sheep that had been injured by dogs, and it is supposed some of the infection entered a small scratch on the back of his hand.
He was suffering also from flu, so the disease made fast headway and he died after severe suffering. He leaves his widow and five small children, the eldest 9 years old.
Mr. Clauson was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Clauson (both deceased) and was born February 24, 1888, on a rented farm six miles north of Osage. Later his folks purchased a farm a mile and a half north of there, and it was there that he spent his boyhood, and where he died. He attended the Pleasant Valley and the Wardall schools near his home.
He and his brother, Henry, assisted their father until 1911, when they formed a partnership that lasted through Rudolph's life. They purchased a farm of Emil Clever, their brother-in-law, just across from the home place; then later a farm from Joe Indra, and when their father retired and moved to Osage they worked the home place also. This gave them an enterprise of importance, and one that kept them very actively engaged.
Mr. Clauson was known as a farmer of ability, integrity, and unusual industry. It is hard, indeed, to see a life cut so short, when there was so much dependent upon it, and so much of promise in the future.
Miss Marie Falk, of Stacyville, became his bride June 2, 1920, and to them were born five children; Irene, Lelia, Germaine, James, Kenneth and Jerome John.
Funeral services were held at the Sacred Heart Church Monday morning in charge of the Reverend Fr. J. P. Martin, and burial was made in the family lot at the Osage Catholic Cemetery.
