We understand that the Methodist church in Ireton is making an effort to

right to it.

DEATH OF OCTOGENERIAN
MRS. CATHERINE MORRISON DIES SUDDENLY
And Old Pioneer of Northwestern Iowa Died Near Ireton
Mrs. Catherine Morrison passed away at the home of her son, Alex Morrison
near Crathorne, on Thursday morning having attained an advanced age of 83
years. She had been in low health for some time and the ravages of age had
grown gradually upon her. On Tuesday she was up and around apparently
feeling as well as usual. During the day she was taken sick and slowly sank
into eternal sleep, passing from this earth at an early hour on Thursday
morning.
Mrs. Morrison came with her husband to this vicinity in 1894. Two years
later Mr. Morrison died and since the aged mother had lived with her son.
Catherine Ross came of a sturdy Scotch race and was born at West Bay, Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia, on August 17 1827. She was married when a girl of
eighteen in 1845 to Alex Morrison, who was a blacksmith and a farmer by
occupation and they spent their lives in Nova Scotia until coming here to
spend their declining days with their son, who with his family faithfully
cared for them and made happy their closing days.
She leaves a number of grown up sons and daughters to mourn the loss of a
good mother. They are Alex Morrison, Crathorne; Robert, Cape Breton; Mrs.
Getschell, Mammen; Mrs. A. G. McRederick, Coldfoot, Alaska; Mrs. Lean,
Sidney, Cape Breton; Mrs. C. Thompson, Butte, Montana.
Deceased was a good Christian woman, a devoted mother and friend and held in
high esteem by all who knew her.
Rev. W. G. Moore, of this city officiated at the funeral ceremony which was
held Saturday from the Morrison home and services conducted in the church.
----------
Henry B. A. Van der Hamm, a prominent pioneer of Iowa, passed to his eternal
reward at his home five miles northwest of Struble on Monday, May 30, 1910,
at 3:10 o’clock in the morning at the age of seventy-eight years and eleven
days, death due from old age and weakness of digestive organs.
The deceased was born at Astode, Oldenburg, Hanover, Germany on May 19,
1832, and immigrated to America in 1857, living at Dixon, Ill., for seven
years at the end of which period he moved to Monticello, Iowa, residing
there eight years. In 1872, he moved his family to Sioux county where he
resided ever since. He was married at the age of twenty-three years to Miss
Christine Julfs at Bockhorn, Germany. To this wedlock was given a family of
eight children, seven sons and one daughter. The daughter and a son died in
infancy.
Besides an amiable and loving wife, six sons, August, John, William, Herman
and Louis, all of Ireton, and Carl of Belmond, Iowa, one brother, John Van
der Hamm of Akron, Iowa, twenty-six grandchildren and one great grand child
are left to mourn his demise.
Henry Van der Hamm was a very highly esteemed and exemplary citizen. He
possessed high ideals or honesty, temperance and Christian character. He
was strictly conscientious in all of his dealings and his good name for
integrity was above reproach. He was an industrious farmer, a kind helpful
neighbor, a provident father and a loving husband. He was one of the members
who in 1875 established the organization of the St. John’s Lutheran Church
of which he was an ardent member until his demise.
The funeral services were held on Thursday at one o’clock at the St. John’s
Lutheran Church and interment at the St. John’s Lutheran cemetery, the last
sad rites being conducted by Rev. C. D. Nuoffer.
CAUGHT IN CORN SHELLER
Arm Is Terribly Lacerated But Will Be Saved
Ed Hentgent, a young man working for Mr. Klemmer, a farmer of Liberty
township, was very seriously and painfully injured while helping around a
corn sheller at the home of John Bauerly on Friday afternoon. The Merrill
Record gives the following account of the accident:
Some husk had clogged around one of the carriers and in reaching over the
sheller to free it, Ed miscalculated and allowed his arm to come in too
close contact with the gearing and almost before he realized it his arm was
caught. The cog wheels got hold of his right arm just above the elbow and
ground it almost to a pulp before the machine could be stopped. After the
machine was stopped it had to be turned backwards before he could be
released. The muscles were torn from the arm laying bare the bone for a
distance of three or four inches. It seems that none of the tendons were
injured and if blood poisoning does not take place, the young man’s life
will be saved and the use of the arm will not be permanently impaired.

A SAD DEATH
MRS. HENRY FRERICHS DIES IN PRESTON TOWNSHIP
Her Untimely Death is Mourned by a Large Circle of Friends
Mrs. Henry Frerichs died at the home of Geo. Frerichs in Preston township
after a brief illness at 4 o'clock on Thursday morning. Her untimely death
is
a great shock to a large circle of her relatives and friends.
She is a daughter of W. Weyan of Grant township and a niece of John Weyan.
Mrs. Frerichs was born on the 11th of February, 1896 (sic) and died of
childbirth
at
the age of twenty-two years. Her parents then resided in Platte county,
Nebraska, where a large family of eleven children were reared. Mr. Weyan
came
to Plymouth county two years ago and has lived in grant township since.
Deceased was united in marriage, April 8, 1907 to Mr. Henry Frerichs of
Mammen
and a one year old son survives this union. Besides the parents and the
grieved husband, eight sisters and one son mourn the sad death. They are
Mrs.
Lena Keppe, Mrs. Anna and Mrs. Sophia Marx, all of Platte county, Neb., Mrs.
Katie Frerichs, of Crathorne, Mrs. Mary Crouch of Heppingham, Ill., and
Lizzie, Etta, Herman and Martha Weyan at home.
The deceased was a most worthy woman and her many friends will be grieved to
learn of her suffering. She was gentle, kind and loving and all of these
qualities were borne out by the beauties of her character.
The funeral was held from the home at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
The
services were conducted by Rev. Kreace of Akron and interment made in the
Grant township cemetery.
[Transcriber Note: The year of birth in this obituary is quite likely
incorrect.
In this 1910 obituary it states the deceased was 22 years of age, married
with one surviving child.
This calculates her year of birth as 1888, not 1896 as stated in this
article.]

DEATH OF OLD SOLDIER
HENRY KUNDERT SUCCUMBED YESTERDAY TO LONG ILLNESS
One of the Early Settlers of Plymouth County and Survivor of the Civil War
Henry Kundert an old and long time resident of Le Mars and Plymouth county
passed away at 10 o'clock at his homes on South Madison street yesterday
morning. For the past year he had been failing and his gradual weakening had
held out a warning to friends and relatives that the end might be near at
any time. He had not left the home during the past eight months and most of
the time he had been confined to his bed. Mr. Kundert was a Civil war
veteran and took an active part in many notable engagements. At the battle
of Antietam in 1863, he was .severely wounded by rifle bullets during the
thickest of the contest. The wounds which followed him to his grave greatly
aggravated him in his old age and eventually resulted in his death.
Henry Kundert was a native of Switzerland, where he was born at Rusty,
Canton Glarus on the 30th of November, 1834, He came to America in 1859 and
first located In Pennsylvania. At the outbreak of the Civil war when the
Union forces were at strife he nobly joined the ranks of the northern army,
enlisting in the 56th volunteer regiment infantry of Pennsylvania. He
remained in the service until wounded in the battle of Antietam. He was
discharged from the hospital through honorable service In 1863 and went to
New Glarus, Green county, Wis.
He was united in marriage at that place to Miss Margaret Wichfer, on August
4, 1864. In 1871, they moved to Webster City, la., where they remained two
years. Mr. Kundert homesteaded on a claim near Sibley in 1873 remaining
there until coming to Le Mars in 1876. The family remained here two years,
until going to Akron in 1878 where they lived for a number of years. In
1893 they again moved to Le Mars where they have resided since.
The deceased is survived by five children and three children preceded their
father in death. The living are Mrs. Lizzie Smith, of Marion, Ia., Miss
Margaret Kundert. who is expected home from the normal school at Cedar
Falls, this morning, Adam, of Blackfoot, Idaho, Mrs. Geo. N. Hicherson of
Brooklyn. .N. Y. The grieved wife and mother, who has been a constant
companion for nearly a half century is also left to mourn the loss of a good
and just husband
The relatives from abroad were notified of the death yesterday and the
funeral arraignments will be made when. they arrive. The services will be
conducted by members of Mower Post G. A. R. of which he was a valiant
member.
Mr. Kundert had a wide acquaintance in this county where he had lived so
long and had a great many friends. He was highly respected by his neighbors
being esteemed a true friend, a just man and an honorable citizen.
