The Okawville Times July 15, 1910
The funeral of Dr. Jacob Randoll, an account of whose death appeared in last 
week’s issue of the TIMES, occurred Sunday afternoon with services at the 
home, where an unusually large number of neighbors and friends gathered to pay 
a last tribute of respect to one who has lived so long and so honorably among 
us.
	Following this service a long procession of carriages and buggies 
proceeded to St. Paul’s Church south west of town where the funeral sermon was 
preached by Rev. Wm. Schuessler.
	The audience was so large that only a small part would have been able 
to get into the church, and the services were conducted in the church yard.
	The interment was made in the cemetery of St. Paul’s Church.  The 
floral offerings were very extensive and beautiful.
John F. Frank, William Schenmetzler, Phillip Schumacher, H. F. Koch, John H. 
Hohlt and Henry Klauke served as pall bearers.


	Jacob Randoll was born May 25, 1826, in Weinheim, Baden, Germany.  He 
came to America in 1848 and landed at Chillicothe, Ohio, where he studied 
medicine with Dr. Zanders.
	He came to this county about the year 1852, and settled in this 
vicinity, and at once began the practice of medicine.  His practice soon 
extended over a large territory and continued until 1905 when he built a 
residence in town and retired from practice.
	During the years of his practice he maintained his office at his 
residence on the farm southwest of town.  This farm was conducted by members 
of his family under his supervision.
	Dr. Randoll’s acquaintance was extended and among all his friends he 
was known as a man of sterling qualities, an excellent citizen and a kind and 
loving husband and father and a good neighbor.  In his professional work he 
was ever ready to respond to the call of duty, and many an inclement spell of 
weather has found him journeying in the darkness to the bedside of some 
sufferer.
	And he always carried a cheerful disposition and worked among his 
patients with a personal and home-like interest that made him a warm place in 
their affections.
	The Doctor was married three times and leaves surviving him his widow, 
six sons, George, of Venedy, Henry, Edward, Albert and Theodore, of St. Louis, 
and William, on the old home place, two daughters, Mrs. August Huelskoetter, 
of Venedy township, and Miss Annie Randoll, of St. Louis, a number of 
grandchildren, besides a number of other relatives and a large circle of 
friends to mourn his departure.
	Those who attended the funeral from a distance were:  Mr. and Mrs. 
Henry Randoll, Miss Annie, Edward, Albert and Theodore Randoll, Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Moehle and daughter, Flossie, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Chesney, Mr. and 
Mrs. Henry Moehle, E. Erdmann, William Moehle and Mrs. Schulte, of St. Louis, 
Mr. and Mrs. Julius Neubauer, and Mrs. Salter, of St. Peter, Phillip Karch, of 
Mt. Vernon, Capt. Fred Dilg and Jacob Eisenmeyer, of Mascoutah, Dr. and Mrs. 
G. Bock, of Smithton, Dr. S. F. Wehr, of Belleville, Mrs. Marie Wolff and son, 
Anton, of Du Quoin, J. M. Winfree, J. K. May, H. F. Vogelpohl and Mr. and Mrs. 
E. H. Wehmeyer and A. H. Cohlmeyer of Nashville.
