Schleswig, Nov. 16 - Once more it befalls our sad lot to chronicle the death of another one of our respected and beloved citizens, Alfred T. Hollander, which sad event occurred at his late home in Soldier township, Saturday morning, November 11, 1922, at 6:15 a.m. after an illness extending over a period of four weeks, death resulting from pneumonia.
Mr. Hollander was but in the prime of life, having reach the age of 37 years, and his death has cast a deep gloom over the entire community. He was a young man, of quiet disposition, a kind and true friend, a devoted husband and father, and possessed that pleasing disposition that won to him a host of friends.
Alfred T. Hollander was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. P. Hollander. He was born Aug. 30, 1885, on the old home farm in Hayes township, Ida County. Here he grew to young manhood and spent the greater part of his life helping his father with the farm work. He was a true Christian and a staunch member of the Lutheran church, in which faith he was baptized on May 26, 1886, and confirmed March 31, 1901, by pastor M. J. VonderAu.
On February 22, 1911, he was united in marriage to Miss Mamie Marquardt at Denison, Iowa and to them were born two children, one of whom preceded the father to the Great Beyond. He leaves to mourn his untimely death, his wife and one daughter, Vernette, eight years old, his parents, and four brothers, Henry, Max, Gustave and Theodore.
Short funeral services were held at his late home at 1:00 o'clock Tuesday, Nov. 14, after which the remains were brought to Immanuel Lutheran church in Schleswig where services were conducted by Rev. O. Lossner, and the remains taken to Morgan township cemetery for interment. The funeral was one of the largest held here for some time. An attendance that filled the church to overflowing being present to pay their last sad respects to the emory of this promising young man. The floral tributes were also many and beautiful, the casket being almost hidden from view by the huge banks of flowers, which testified to the honor and esteem in which he was held by all.
The Leader joins with the host of friends of the stricken wife and daughter, the parents and other relatives of the deceased in extending deepest sympathy and consolation in this sad hour of sorrow. It is sad indeed to lose one whom we love and honor, but life on earth is ever thus, and even though he is now laid away, the thought of the good deeds he performed while on earth, will linger long in the memory of those whom he has left behind, and will be treasured by them in the years that are to come. We therefore refer the relatives to Him who doeth all things for the best, for comfort and consolation.

Born in Detsbull, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, 1850, Came to America in 1868, to Schleswig in 1904
Schleswig, Ia., Sept. 2 (1922) - Henry Andresen is no more. His sudden and wholly unexpected death last Friday morning at 8:30 was a terrible shock to his wife and children, and to the general public as well. His death was due to heart failure, and came without warning.
Mr. Andresen had been in good health up to the time of his death. On Friday morning about 8 o'clock after eating a hearty breakfast, he went to the garage to get his car and take it to the Hollander garage to get some oil and fill the tires, as he and his wife were going to Ida Grove for a visit that morning. He was busily engaged in filling the tires and had them all filled with the exception of one, and it was while he was taking the cap off the tube, that he was stricken, and death came before anyone could reach his side. He was conversing jovially with several of his friends and telling them where he and his wife were going for the day, only a few minutes before.
Friends rushed to his aid as they saw him reel and fall to the ground, but they could do nothing, as death had stepped in to claim him. He was tenderly removed to the garage and from there taken to his home. It was a terrific shock for Mrs. Andresen, for it was but a few minutes before that he had left the house telling her he would be back in a short time. He was feeling fine and none dreamed that in the space of only a few minutes a home of happiness could be plunged into one of deepest sorrow. But such is the way of life, none know the day or hour when the angel of death will call and take from us those whom we love, honor and esteem.
Mr. Andresen was a man of fine character and habits, a hearty friend well met. His daily life was like an open book, he was a man of quiet, unassuming ways, an honest workman in every respect, and one in whom all could place every confidence. Always pleasant, he had a kind word for all, and was ever ready to help his fellow men in times of need and distress. In the passing of this good man the wife will be bereft of the friendship and companionship of a true, kind and loving husband, the children an indulgent father, and the community an upright, honest and exemplary citizen. His death will be deeply mourned by all.
Henry Andresen was born at Detsbrill, Schleswig, Holstein, on the 3rd day of March, 1850. He remained there till 1868, when he sailed across the big pond and came to Clinton, Ia. Here he worked as a mason, and in November, 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Bock at Lyons, Iowa. A few years later he moved to Tama county, where he farmed. In 1881 he came westward and settled in Odebolt, where he followed his trade for one year. He then moved onto a farm in Hayes township, Ida county, where he remained till 1894, when he came to Schleswig and has lived here until death claimed him at the age of 72 years, 5 months and 29 days.
He is survived by a kind and loving wife and seven children, five sons Ernest, Albert, Herman, Bernhard, Julius, two daughters, Dora, now Mrs Henry Bielenberg, and Ella, now Mrs Fred Bielenberg, two children having preceded the father to the great beyond. He also leaves 26 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, one brother and two sisters.
Funeral services were held Monday, September 4, at 1:30 in the home and at 2 o'clock in Friedens church, Rev. Wetzeler officiating, and the remains laid to rest in the Morgan township cemetery.
