His wife preceded him in death in the year 1929; there were three children, a son, Fred, west of Ackley, and two daughters, Mrs. Anton Duit, northwest of Ackley, and Mrs. Frank Prignitz, residing at Kanawha, Iowa. His brother, Richard, many years engaged in the hardware business in Ackley with Mr. F.J. Carstens, the firm of Heinz & Carstens, died in 1915. Funeral services were held at St. John's Evangelical church, Tuesday afternoon; they were conducted by Rev. E. Seybold, pastor, the remains interred in Oakwood cemetery.
