Gust Bethke Dead
Dies Suddenly at Loveland, Col. After Few Days’ Illness with 
Inflammatory Rheumatism.
	Gust Bethke, whose illness we mentioned last week, passed 
away before our paper left the press.  He was taken ill the Saturday 
before with inflammatory rheumatism and lingered until March 1st at 
5 P.M.  His parents were notified of his critical condition and his 
father and mother and sister Minnie left for his bedside Monday evening 
on the Omaha and presume they reached him before the final summons came.
	Deceased was the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bethke of Kelso, 
and was born and raised there.  About three years ago he left for Colorado 
and at the time of his demise was a partner in a buggy top manufacturing 
concern at Loveland.  He was about 28 years of age, and on Dec. 21 last 
was married to Miss Alta Leppla of Wisconsin.
	The remains were taken to Appleton, Wis., his wife’s home, and 
the burial took place Monday.  Paul Bethke and wife and their daughter 
Minnie, accompanied the remains from Colorado, while Sophia, Richard 
and Fred Bethke and Mrs. Richard Kistner went there from here.
