GONE TO HER REWARD. Mrs. August Haack Died Sunday Morning. ..
Remsen friends were shocked on July Fourth when they heard of the death of Mrs. August Haack Sr., which occurred in a Cherokee hospital that morning early. Mrs. Haack had been ill for about two years and at the time of her death was forty-five years, four months and twenty-five days of age. The cause of her death was cancer of the breast and she suffered intensely during her confinement.
Mrs. Haack’s illness began two years ago and during those two years everything imaginable was done to alleviate her suffering and to stay the hand of death. In May 1914, she submitted to a serious operation and was in the hospital for four weeks. At the end of that time she felt greatly improved and her husband expected her recovery, but shortly after her return home her ailment showed a decided turn for the worse and she was taken to a Cherokee hospital seven months ago. Last December she was again operated upon without success and during the seven months she was not able to leave the hospital. Death relieved the patient sufferer at four-thirty a.m. July fourth and the body was brought to Remsen to the John Haack home.
Mrs. August Haack was born on February 9th, 1870, at Friederichs Kog, Sueder Ditmarschen, Holstein, Germany. She was the oldest daughter of Margaretha Garf and Peter Hagemann, and lived with her parents in the old country until, after the death of her father, she came to this country in 1880. They settled at Belle Plaine, Iowa. On June 24th, nine years later, she was united in marriage to August Haack, of Sioux county, and to their union eight children were born. In 1912 the family moved to a farm near Inwood, Iowa, where they have lived ever since. Mrs. Haack is survived by her husband,, her father, one sister, two brothers and her eight children who are: Claus, Hermann, Catherine, Peter, Julius, Carrie, Walter and Edna.
Anna Haack was a woman who was loved by all of her acquaintances. To know her was to admire her for her splendid qualities a mother, wife and friend, for she possessed qualities that could not help but win admirers. She was a devout Christian, a lifelong member of the German Lutheran church. While she resided here she was a member of Christ Lutheran congregation.
The funeral was held yesterday. The usual services were held at the Haack home on Main street after which services were conducted by Rev. J. P. Guenther in Christ Lutheran church. The body was laid to rest in the Remsen cemetery.

Anna Hagiman Haack was born at Marne, Holstein, Germany, coming to America when she was a young lady. She was united in marriage at her home in Benton county, Iowa, to Mr. August Haack and they made their home in that county for several years following. Later they moved to Meadow township north of Remsen in this county, which has been their home for a number of years. Eight children, five boys and three girls, were born to their union. The children are all alive and at home, the youngest being but three years of age.
