REMSEN: (Special Correspondence)
John Hoffmann died on the Paul Staab farm in Meadow township on Wednesday
morning, July 9, at the age of 68 years of inflammation of the bladder,
after an illness of only ten days. Deceased was born in Prussia in the
district of Treves 68 years ago and came to the United States settling near
Hospers in Sioux county, in 1889, and came to Plymouth county in 1891. He
was of a kind and generous disposition, honest in all his dealings, so that
his demise is generally regretted. His wife, one son, Hannes Hoffmann, and
one daughter, Mrs. Jacob Hoffmann, survive him. The remains were laid to rest
in the Catholic cemetery of Remsen this Friday morning after a requiem in
the Catholic St. Mary church.
