John Waltermann, a former resident of' this township, passed away at the 
home of Louis Buck, at New Rome, on Sunday, June 10th, after an illness 
of about three months, from a complication of diseases. The deceased 
had been ailing for some time and for the past ten weeks was confined 
to his bed. He rallied for a time and it was thought he would fully 
recover but he suffered a relapse and gradually grew weaker and finally 
succumbed to the inevitable. All that medical skills and the best of
nursing by experienced and loving hands could do for him was resorted to 
but all proved to no avail, and he passed quietly away, at the age of 59 
years, 8 months and 1 day.

He left home at an early age are found employment as a farm hand in 
different sections of the county. For the past eleven years he was 
employed by Louis Buck of New Rome, where he gained a host of friends. 
He was a hard working man, always attending strictly to his farm duties 
and was well liked by all who knew him for his genial personality. Two 
sisters survive him, Mrs. Henry Wigand of this city and Mrs. Ed. Wegge of 
Perham; one sister-in-law, Mrs. H. Waltermann, this city, eight nephews 
and four nieces.

The remains were brought to this city on Monday and taken to the home of 
his sister, Mrs. Wigand, where they laid in state until Wednesday at 
eleven a. m., when the funeral was held. Services were held at St. Paul's 
Ev. Church Rev. Buck of New Rome, who was the deceased's spiritual advisor
