DEATH OF JOHN HEYMAN
Was A Resident of Remsen For Twenty-six Years

John Heyman, one of the pioneers of Remsen, passed away at his home
Friday, at the age of sixty years, following an illness of several
months with cancer of the throat. Mr. Heyman was born in the year 1859,
at Evansville, Ill. Several years later he married and moved to
Caledonia, S. D., from which place he moved with his family to Remsen.

Mr. and Mrs. Heyman and family moved to Remsen about twenty-six years
ago and he started to work at his trade as plasterer and cement worker,
which trade he followed up until about a year ago, when he accepted a
job with the Hanford Produce Co, of Sioux City, to take possession of a
cream station in Remsen. Not long after this Mr. Heyman became ill so
he could no longer manage his business and then his daughter, Katie,
took over the work.

Mr. Heyman leaves to mourn his death his bereaved wife, five sons:
Mathew, of Moville; Leo, Phillip and Dominic, of Colton, S. D.; John, of
Rowley, Ia. Three daughters: Mrs. Wm. Pieper, Katie and Celia, all of
Remsen. Three brothers who reside at Caledonia, S.D., and one sister,
Mrs. Charley Kuster, of Oyens. The funeral was held Monday morning at 9
o'clock at the St. Mary's Catholic church, being conducted by Rev.
Father F.W. Schulte.
