OBITUARY
The old settlers are gradually passing away, and this week it becomes our
duty to chronicle the demise of Mr. Frederick Pioske, one of the early
settlers of Kelso township.  Death claimed him at the advanced age of 91
years, 5 months and 7 days.  He was born August 15th, 1820, in Province
Pommern, Germany.  Mr. Pioske and family came to this country in 1867,
settling on the farm in Kelso township, which has every since been his
home.  His wife preceded him to the grave about twenty-five years ago, and
his son, August, with whom he was living, passed to His Maker about 18
years ago.  The surviving members of his family are Mrs. H. D. Deterling of
this place, and Mrs. Wm. Jentz, of Henderson, Mr. Pioske was honored and
respected by his old associates of pioneer days and well thought of by all
who knew him.  The funeral was held from the Sibley Lutheran church
yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, Rev. Schreiner conducting the service, and
interment of the remains made at the cemetery adjoining the church grounds.
