Wessel Jutting
We are called upon this week to report the death of one of the enterprising farmers of this community, Wessel Jutting, residing a short distance northeast of town, which occurred March 10, after a short illness of influenza and its following complications.

Wessel Jutting was born in Grundy county, Iowa, near the town of Ackley, on Oct 1, 1885, and moved with his parents to Kossuth county in the year of 1893, where he grew to manhood. On Feb. 16, 1911, he was united in marriage to Jessie Albers, a daughter of Theo. Albers of this city, being one of ten children. To Mr. and Mrs. Jutting were born one son, Ubbe, 6 years old, and one daughter, Hermina, 4 years old. Mr. Jutting departed this life at the age of 34 years, 5 months and 10 days. He leaves to mourn his untimely death, his bereaved wife and two children, his mother, Mrs. U.W. Jutting, and one brother and five sisters. His father preceded him in death, and one sister, Mrs. Ben B. Bruhns, died two days previous to his own departure. Mr. Jutting might be called a product of this neighborhood, in which he was carving out a successful career as a farmer. As a friend and neighbor he was ever loyal. He was a kind and loving husband and father and deeply attached to his home. Truly there is a cause for the many expressions of deep regret following his untimely passing. Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev. J.H. Schoon assisted by Rev. V.B. Hill. The remains were laid to rest in Graceland cemetery and were followed there by a long procession of neighbors and friends.
