REMSEN. From the News. At the family home at about 11:30 Thursday afternoon occurred the death of one of Remsen’s most respected citizens, Carl Jacob Strub. He had been ill for over three weeks with blood poison and suffered untold agony up to the time death came mercifully to his relief. The actual cause of the blood poison is not known. Some time ago he cut his hand with a chisel, but the wound healed up nicely. He was a man universally like and respected in this community and his death comes as a hard blow to all his many friends. There was not a more conscientious man or a harder worker than Chas. Strub. The past twelve years he had worked for Ahman Bros. in the elevator here and he could always be depended upon to be at his post. He was ever kind and considerate to his family who are prostrated with grief. In the death of him Remsen loses one of her best sons. Carl Jacob Strub was born in Vinton, Iowa, on April 10, 1864, and at the time of his death was a little better than 45 years of age. HE came to Plymouth county in 1884 and had lived in this vicinity eve r since. In 1886 he was married to Miss Charlotte Raber here and to this union two children were born, Gertrude, now Mrs. Jurgen Johnson, and Ethel. Besides the wife and daughters he leaves to mourn his loss his mother in Iowa City and four brothers and three sisters. The funeral services were held from St. Paul’s church at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, being in charge of Rev. Dahlmann. – Le Mars Semi-Weekly Sentinel, June 29, 1909, page 2.
