DEATH OF A PIONEER
Henry Detloff Succumbs To Attack of Pneumonia
The Deceased Was a Native of Germany and Came to This Country When a Young
Man-Was a Successful Farmer
Henry J. Detloff, for nearly forty years a resident of Plymouth county and
Le Mars and one of the most widely known citizens of this community, died on
Sunday afternoon at half past three at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. M.
Myers, 210 Thirteenth street, in Sioux City, after an illness of three weeks
from pleural pneumonia. Mr. Detloff was taken sick with [unreadable]
rheumatism about six weeks ago and other complications arose, precluding his
recovery. He went to Sioux City to take treatments, staying at the home of
his daughter, where he died.
Henry J. Detloff was past sixty-nine years of age. He was born in Pomera,
Germany, on May 12, 1846, and was reared and educated in his native place,
arriving at young manhood. When a youth of nineteen he entered the army and
served in the artillery.
In 1869 he came to America to seek his fortune and shortly afterwards
settled near Bloomington, Ill. He was united in marriage at that place in
1872 with Miss Pauline Pech, who with nine children, mourn his death. The
children are; Mrs. Harry Reints, of Le Mars; Mrs. W.R. Henrich, of Seney;
Mrs. Sam Utehe, of Le Mars; Mrs. M. M. Myers, of Sioux City; Mrs. H.R.
Dealy, of P[rest unreadable]; Mrs. E.H. Riter, H. Detloff, E.F. Detloff and
Arthur Detloff of Le Mars. One girl died in infancy. He also leaves two
sisters, Mrs. J.C. Wood, of Colfax, Ill., and Mrs. Sue Belau, of Garretson,
S.D.
Mr. and Mrs. Detloff moved from Bloomington, Ill., to Plymouth county in
1877 and settled on a farm north of Le Mars, in Elgin township, where they
lived until eight years ago when they came to Le Mars to make their home.
Mr. Detloff was a most successful farmer. Assisted by his wife and
children, he tilled the land in good [line is unreadable] which were the lot
of very early settlers and later owned some of the best farms in the county.
He was noted as a stock raiser and coasssignments of fine cattle and hogs
were annually shipped from his place to the markets in Chicago and Sioux
City and commanded good prices and generally evoked comment as to their
quality.
He was a man who had many friends in the community whom he gained by his
sturdy uprightness and moral rectitude. He was a man of firm opinions, and
in his dealings with his fellowmen and a good citizen and neighbor. His
home life was ideal in its happiness. He was a devoted husband and father
and exerted himself to give his sons and daughters every advantage in life.
He was for many years a member of the United Evangelical church and later
affiliated with the German Methodist church. The funeral will be held at
the house on Eagle street at 1:30 on Wednesday afternoon and services will
be held at the German Methodist church at two o'clock. His six sons-in-law
will be the pallbearers.
More Corn Contest Judges
County leader Carl Marcue made a trip through the west part of the county
Wednesday and secured half a dozen more township leaders in the Boys Acre
Corn Contest and Grant and America are the only two townships now not
provided with a local leader. Most of the boys will pick their corn and
select their sample ears and seed corn the first of next week so it is
necessary that all township leaders be named this week. Following are those
secured in addition to the lists previously printed: Preston, L. Oloff;
Westfield, T. J. Martin; Sioux, C. L. Knapp; Hancock, T. W. Walsh; Perry,
Frank Butler; Liberty, S. Phillips.

THIEVES AT WORK
Hogs and Tools Are Stolen From Two Farm Yards
One night last week thieves stole five hogs from the farm of H.V.
Seppings near Dalton. Two fat hogs and three shoats were taken. Wheel
tracks showed that the thieves had entered the premises from the lower
end of the hog pasture. Some saws and a spade were also taken. At the
home of E.R. Schutt, at Dalton, presumably the same night, some tools
and implements were stolen. A number of cases of petty thievery have
recently been reported in different parts of the county. Several hen
roosts have been depleted. A dose of shot is coming to these light
fingered gentry some of these nights.
IS PINNED UNDER CAR
MACHINE WITH FOUR TOPPLES INTO DITCH AT WEST BRANCH
TWO AUTOS IN COLLISION
Woman Has Her Arm Broken and Little Boy is Badly Cut and Bruised-Six
Months Babe Pitched in Air and Escapes Unhurt
A head on collision between two automobiles on the road north of town
near the Groetken place on Sunday morning about half past eleven
resulted in injuries to several people. A car driven by William
Randolph, of Garretson, S.D., was run into by a car driven by Glace
Collman, of George, Iowa. It is claimed that the Randolph car was on
the right side of the road while the car driven by Collman was on the
left hand side of the road. The cars met at the crest of a hill and
both drivers made futile attempt to get out of each other's way when
they realized too late that a crash was inevitable. In the car with Mr.
Collman was his brother, Arnold, and his mother, Mrs. O.C. Collman, who
had been visiting in LeMars, and were on their way home. In the car
with Mr. Randolph were his wife and her sister, Mrs. Will Jackson, of
this city, a daughter Mrs. McHone of Garretson, Mrs. Britton, of Seney,
and Mrs. Harry Britton of Spencer, and two McHone children. In the
smashup Mrs. Randolph had her left arm broken at the elbow and her chest
and body were badly bruised. William McHone, aged four years, had his
head badly cut and his leg injured. A six months old baby of Mrs.
McHone, who was being held in the arms of Mrs. Jackson, was thrown out
of the car, landing ten feet away, but apparently sustained no injuries.
Mrs. Collman was badly cut and bruised. The other people in the car
escaped with minor bruises. Mrs. Jackson was prostrated by nervous
shock. Both cars were considerably damaged in the collision.
_______________
A bad automobile accident occurred on Saturday night near Dalton when a
party of young people were on their way to a dance at Brunsville. In
the car were Minnie Witt and Amelia Meyers, of this city, and C.
Mullenkamp and Henry Hammann, of Remsen. They were speeding along at a
fast gait, Miss Witt driving the car, going down the hill to the West
Branch. Another car was coming along and Miss Witt, it is said, looked
back and in so doing momentarily lost control of the steering wheel and
the machine swerved and toppled down the embankment into the ditch. The
car turned over twice. Hammann was caught under the car and it required
the strength of several men to lift the car off his body. Miss Meyers
had her arm injured and the others escaped with a few bruises. Hamann
was brought to the city hospital and Dr. Larsen attended him. He was
seriously injured internally and across the thighs. A physician came up
on Sunday and operated upon him for relief and yesterday he was reported
a little better. The car was badly wrecked. A large number of people
went out from town on Sunday morning to view the place of the accident
and the wrecked car. The car belonged to a livery at Remsen.
REBUILDING TELEPHONE LINE
Bell Company Has Big Force Reconstructing Toll Lines
The Bell Telephone company has a crew of fifty men at work rebuilding
its line between Sioux City and LeMars. The men live in camps along
their line of work and are installing complete new lines. Poles are
being unloaded in Hinton, Merrill and LeMars and the entire equipment
will be replaced and additional wires be strung to relieve the congested
condition of the system between here and Sioux City.
One change that will be appreciated by the people of LeMars is that the
new line will be run through the outskirts of town with a connection
running into the local exchange. The old system paralleled Main street
clear through the town and the removal of the heavy poles from this
section will meet with general approval.

On Thursday night Gerald Bauerly, riding on a motorcycle, collided with
Frank Schultz, who was driving a horse and buggy on the road between

DEATH CALLS AGED MAN.
Jacob Aeschelmann Succumbs to Lingering Illness Monday at Home of Sister
Here.
Jacob Aeschlemann, father of Mrs. Hans P. Schmidt, died at the home of his
daughter in Remsen Monday night at eight o’clock at the age of eighty-five.
His death was due to old age and the end was hastened on by an apoplectic
stroke which he suffered about four months ago. Since that time he was
bedridden, but loving hands attended the old gentleman constantly.
Jacob Aeschlemann was born in Bern, Switzerland and was united in marriage
to Miss Elizabeth Kunst in his native land. His wife died many years ago and
Mr. Aeschlemann came to this country in 1884, and spent a number of years in
Eastern Iowa with a brother and sister. From there he came to Plymouth
county and spent his remaining days in the home of his daughter, where he
died.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon with services in St. Paul’s church
conducted by Rev. E. H. Eilers.
Jacob Aeschlemann had many warm friends in and around Remsen, who thought
highly of him and who deeply mourn his departure and sympathize with the
bereaved relatives. He was a man of excellent character, always kind,
affectionate and obliging, and his death is a source of regret throughout
his acquaintanceship.
