organized as a county, passed  away at his farm home in Pembina township on 
Sunday, May 17, at the age of 85  years, 10 months, and 24 days. Mr. Hoss had been 
in good health up until about a  week before his death, when he suffered a 
heart attack, which forced him to bed  for the last two days. 

Funeral services were held on Wednesday at 9  o'clock from St. Michael's 
church, with Rev. Fr. Hyaclinth officiating.  Pallbearers were Frank Obermiller, 
John K. Rumreich, Fred Cloutier, Matt Tupa,  Matt Chioupek and Louis Novak. He 
was interred in the Catholic cemetery.  

John Hoss was born in Germany, June 22, 1850. His marriage to Miss Susie  
Laush occurred there in 1880. They came to the United States in 1893 and settled  
on a farm in Perham, Minn. His wife passed away here in 1896, leaving her  
husband and two sons, Joe and Tom. In 1898 he was married to Miss Emma Seipel,  
at Perham, and to this union, eight children were born, namely, Mrs. Nick 
Miller  (Annie), Mahnomen; Mrs. Pete Blaeser (Josie), Mahnomen; Gustie, at home; 
John  Hoss Jr., Fosston, Leo, Merrill, Wis.; Ben, Frank and Milo at home, all 
of whom  survive him. 

In the spring of 1905, they moved to Mahomen county in  Popple Grove 
township. They resided here until 1917, at which time they came to  Pembina township, 
where they have since resided, and where his death occurred.  

Mr. Hoss was an old war veteran, having served in the Prussian War  between 
France and Germany in 1870 - 1871. 

Out-of-town relatives here  for the funeral were Joe of Fertile; Mr. and Mrs. 
Tom Hoss and a nephew, Nick  Hoss, of Minneapolis, and Mr. and Mrs. John Hoss 
Jr., of Fosston. 

The  survivors have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their 
loved  one. His body was interred 20 May 1936 Mahnomen, Mahnomen Co., MN, St. 
Michael's  Catholic Cemetery.
