Funeral For Henry Carstens Will Be Held Here Friday

After an illness of several months Henry Carstens, a pioneer of this vicinity, 
passed away at his home Monday evening at 11:50.  Funeral services will be 
conducted at the St. John’s Evangelical church by Rev. N. H. Farnham Friday 
morning at 10 o’clock.

Henry Carstens was born in Schleswig Holstein, German, June 14th, 1860.  He 
came to America at the age of 13 with his parents and the family settled in 
Davenport, Iowa, in 1873.  From there, while still a young man, he went to 
Crawford county, and from there to Plainview, Nebraska, where he met his wife, 
Anna Dau.  They were united in marriage on the 15th of July, 1886 and to this 
union nine children were born, eight now living.  A son, John, passed away 
several years ago.  The children are William N. and Herman of Boise; Emma 
Ferber, August D. Mrs. J. T. Hanigan and Edward D. of Payette; Henry T. of 
Seattle, Wash.; and Mrs. Frank Browning of Gypsum, Colorado, who survive him, 
besides his wife and one brother William Carstens of Bud Grove, Iowa, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Henry Hansen, Morgan, Minn.; and Mrs. Henry LaFrance, Schleswig, 
Iowa and nine grandchildren.  

Mr. and Mrs. Carstens came to Falk Store in 1893 to make their home in the far 
west.  In Falk Store they lived for six years, then moving to Payette, where 
they have resided for the past 34 years. 

Mr. Carstens ran a stage route from Payette to Falk Store and later had the 
distinction of being the first rural carrier out of Payette, taking the mail to 
New Plymouth with a team and buggy.  He has been on the board of directors for 
the Payette Irrigation Company for the past 20 years, serving in that capacity 
faithfully.  He is a member of the Grange for which he served as treasurer, and 
was a faithful member of the St. John’s Evangelical church until the time of 
his death.  He has made many friends in this city by whom he will be greatly 
missed.
