From the Adams County Press, Saturday Feb 9, 1907, Page 1

Away from wife and child, and in a foreign land, whither he had gone in
search of health, Joseph William NEMETZ was forced to lay down the burden
of life and bid farewell to all earthly sights on January 14, 1907, and his
remains were brought to Spearfish, S. D., for interment on Friday, January
18, 1907.

Joseph NEMETZ was born in Chicago, January 12, 1876. His death was due to
catarrh of the stomach from which he had been a sufferer for some time.

In 1902 he was united in marriage to Miss Ruth BECKER, at Sioux Falls,
South Dakota and soon afterwards went to Spearfish and engaged in truck
farming in Spearfish Valley. In July of last year, he went to Corpus
Christi, Texas, thinking the change in climate might prove beneficial, but
to no avail.

The result of this marriage was one bright baby daughter, who came into the
family three years ago. Aside from the wife and child, there still survive
the deceased, his aged parents who reside at Hadlock, seven brothers,
Albert, Wintie, Edward and George of Hadlock, F. G. NEMETZ of Milwaukee, J.
A. of Pine River, Wis., and Chas. A. of Spearfish South Dakota, four
sisters, Mrs. Rose McBRIDE and Mrs. Anna WIDEN of La Crosse, Mrs. A. J.
POLIVKA of Friendship and Mrs. Jens A. JENSEN of Sonoma, California.

Deceased was a member of the M. W. A. order, and carried an insurance of
$1,000 which will be paid to his wife and child. Though not a member of the
local order, the body was taken charge of by the local members and laid to
rest by them. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. R. Jeffrey of
the Methodist Episcopal church.

To the bereaved relatives the Press extends the warmest sympathy of the
Hadlock people, and trusts that God in his all-wise providence, will deal
compassionately with the parents and relatives in their great loss.
