Geo. F. Haack, a well known famer, died at his home six miles north of Remsen, of pneumonia, Sunday, April 7, at the age of 53 [43] years. Deceased was born in Hostein, Germany, in 1857. In 1870 he came with his parents to this country, when the family located in Benton county, Iowa. Ten years later George married his surviving wife, Ida Kirchner, and later they came west. Their home was blessed with five children, all of whom survive the father, the oldest being 15, and the youngest about 1 ½ years old. He was a good citizen, a kind husband and father, and not only his relations, but all who had become acquainted with him, feel that death has come too soon to take him from their midst. The funeral took place at the Evangelical Lutheran church Wednesday at 1 o’clock, Rev. P. Hoeppner officiating. – Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, April 15, 1901, page 3.
