Only eight days before his death Mr. Rhynsburger had suffered a fractured hip in a fall from a chair at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D. W. Elliott, in this city. He had been in gradually failing health for several years and had grown so feeble that he did not possess sufficient vitality to overcome the shock of the distressing accident. Short funeral services were held at the home of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Nora Rhynsburger, at Orange City at 1:30 Monday afternoon and then at the American Reformed church at that place at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Brower. American Legion members in uniform acted as pall bearers and burial in the cemetery at Orange City was made with full military honors. Marinus Rhynsburger was born May 29, 1843, at Rossum, Netherlands, and departed this life Feb. 23, 1934, at the age of nearly 91 years. He was the oldest of the Civil War veterans in this vicinity. He came to the United States with his parents in 1864 and settled at Pella, Iowa. With his father, Dirk Rhynsburger, and his brother, John Rhynsburger, he enlisted in the Union army in 1862 as a member of Co. B, 15th Iowa Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He participated in several battles and was twice wounded, once at the Battle of Shiloh and again at the Battle of Atlanta. After the war Mr. Rhynsburger returned to Pella and was united in marriage in 18C9 with Teuntje Pas. He entered the general merchandise business in Pella with his brother, Cornelius, In 1882 the family removed to Orange City where Mr. Rhynsburger entered the clothing business with his brother-in-law, John Pas. He continued in this business until his retirement seventeen years ago at the time of the death of Mrs. Rhynsburger. He came to Hawarden about seven years ago and has since made his home with his daughter, Mrs. D. W. Elliott and family. Mr. Rhynsburger was one of the charter members of the American Reformed church at Orange City and served as elder of this church for forty years. Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Rhynsburger. Three died in infancy. One son, Hubert, who was engaged with his father in the clothing business, died in 1918.
