GEORGE H. G. BUTENHOFF OBIT, #671T

Name and date of newspaper unknown



The community of Baker was shocked and deeply saddened on Thursday when 

it was learned that George Butenhoff had died suddenly at his home that 

morning.



George was apparently in good health although it was known that he had 

suffered several heart attacks, his death was entirely unexpected.



Deceased was a young man who possessed a fine character, and his kind, 

cheerful disposition won for him many warm friends who mourn his untimely 

departure.



George H. G. Butenhoff was born at Dows, Iowa, Dec. 30, 1898. A few years 

later the family moved onto a farm near Baker which has since been their 

home.



He leaves to mourn his death his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Butenhoff; 

two sisters, Luella and Evelyn; eight brothers, Carl, Albert, Theodore, 

Edwin, William, Clarence and Leonard, all of Baker and Fred of Hampton, 

Iowa, and numerous other relatives.



Funeral services, conducted	by Rev. Paul Schumm, were held Sunday 

afternoon at the home and Trinity Lutheran church at Sabin at which the 

deceased was confirmed and remained a faithful member. The remains were 

interred in the church cemetery. The pallbearers were Hartwell Carr, Fred 

Miller, Herman Possehl Jr., Walter and Clarence Altenberndt and Irwin 

Johnk.



Those who attended the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Fred 

Butenhoff, Orville and Helen, and Mrs. Geo. Rohde of Hampton, Ia.; Mr. 

and Mrs. Wm. Tegtmeyer and son Clarence of Britt, Iowa; Leo Butenhoff of 

Earl, Wis., and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Kaus of Fergus Falls.



The funeral was one of the largest ever held in this community and floral 

offerings were beautiful.



The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community goes to the grief stricken 

parents, sisters and brothers in one of the greatest sorrows of their 

lives.
