MATIAS KAMMERER LAID TO REST
The Herman Sons of Which He Was a Member Conduct Funeral Services 
in theUsual Manner
	Matias Kammerer, whose death was announced last week, was 
laid to rest in the public cemetery east of town Friday afternoon, 
Dec. 23rd midst a host of friends and fellow members of the Herman 
Sons lodge, of which he was a member in good standing.  Many here 
were from neighboring towns to bid a last farewell to their departed 
comrade.  The funeral services took place at the house at 12:30 p.m., 
Rev. Rabe of the M. E. church performing the services.  After this 
the Herman Sons took charge of the ceremonies, forming in a procession 
to the cemetery where they formed a circle around the grave and paid 
their last respects to the one whom death had called to rest.  Rev. 
Rabe conducted the ritual services at the grave after which the
Herman Sons marched to Fraternity Hall where they held services, 
presided over by R. L. Henschelt of St. Paul, state chaplain of the 
O.D.H.S.
	The decease was born at Burgberg, Baden, Germany, May 5, 1840, 
and died at his home here of asthma on Tuesday, Dec. 20th, he being 
therefore 64 years, 7 months and 22 days old at the time of his death.  
In 1869 he was married to Miss Mary Born Joos and the marriage was 
blessed with five children, three sons and two daughters.  Four of 
these died in their childhood, Mrs. A. C. Spannaus being the only 
daughter living.
	They came to America in 1880 and settled in Minneapolis, 
remaining there for three years, when they came to this village 
and made their home here.  Three years ago his wife died.
	He had been afflicted with asthma for a long time but the 
serious attack, which hastened his demise, came about two weeks 
before his death.  He leaves to mourn his loss, one daughter, two 
brothers, a sister and a large circle of friends, who join in 
extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
