NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 25 Dec 1908, Vol. 22 - No. 22 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1908/08dec25.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin June 07, 2002 =================================================================================== THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. Painter, Editor and Publisher 25 Dec 1908, Friday, Vol. 22 - No. 22 Page One Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fiedler returned the first of the week from a visit with relatives in Iowa. HENRY TSCHAUNER Henry Tschauner was born June 10, 1877 in Austria across the sea. About 1880 his parents came to this country and landed in New York. About one year later the family moved to Keya Paha County, Nebraska. His mother died about 15 years ago. Mr. Tschauner came to Phillips County and took up a homestead near Amherst. It was in the house on this homestead where he lived alone that he was found dead in bed on Friday. From all appearances he must have died sometime Wednesday night. The live stock and other appearances about the place all indicated that he had been dead more than 24 hours. Other matters requiring the time and consideration of the coroner made it necessary that the inquest be postponed till Sunday. This worked considerable inconvenience but it could not be helped. Among other things it made it impossible to announce the hour of the funeral. Consequently many of our people who would always show respect on such an occasion as this by attending the funeral service were not privileged to attend. Rev. Ledrew Rulison preached a sermon on immortality from the “Question of the ages” in Job 14, 14. The deceased leaves two brothers and four sisters to mourn the loss of a brother. Only one brother, Louis, was present at the funeral. His sister, Mrs. Kimmel at Amherst was unable to be present. The deceased had been a member of the Catholic church. May he rest in peace. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved. Page Four Miss Bertha Johnson is visiting at York, Nebraska. W.M. Kaskey is visiting friends in Iowa this week. R.E.
