Obituary.
The funeral of the late Gottlieb Haas was held on Monday afternoon at St.
John’s church, Rev. H. J. Dammann, the pastor, officiating. The deceased
was a member of Dewey Camp W.O.W. and the members of that order attended the
funeral in a body.

Gottlieb Haas was a native of Germany, being born at Oberant Filligen,
Baden, on February, 1857. He came to Plymouth county in 1883 and worked on a
farm near Merrill and shortly afterwards came to LeMars which was his home
until his death. For the past eleven years he was in the employ of the
LeMars Water & Light company. He was faithful in his duties and was highly
esteemed by his employers and his fellow workmen. He was a man of rugged
physique and worked hard early and late. A few weeks ago he was taken ill
and death resulted from organic heart trouble, accelerated by constant
physical exertion. He was married twice. His first wife was Miss Catherine
Meyer to whom he was married in June, 1878. Six children born to them,
three of whom survive: Mrs. Frank Sutton, of this place; Mrs. Frank Messick,
of Sioux City; and Miss Catherine Haas, of Merrill.

On October 20, 1894, he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Stutzmann at
St. John’s Evangelical church in LeMars and to this union four children were
born, two boys and two girls. Mr. Haas was an upright hard working citizen,
a loving husband and father, highly respected in the community where he
lived for a quarter of a century.
