John Langenbach peacfully passed away Tuesday evening.
John Langenbach was born in the province Colbence, Prussia, Sept. 26, 1830. He came to this country in 1849, coming directly to Theresa. His voyage upon the ocean covered ninety six days.
He was married at Theresa in 1854 to Mary Husting. To them were born thirteen children, five of whom preceded him in death. These are surviving him: his widow, Mary Langenbach and his children, Mrs. Aug. Ruedebusch, Mrs. E. Sauerhering, Robt. Langenbach and Mrs. L. S. Keeley of this city, Alfred and Carl of La Crosse, Mrs. Mathilda Kuechenberg of Waupun and Armond of West Bend, and one sister, Mrs. M. Hombach of Fond du Lac.
During his early years in Theresa he used to team between Theresa and Milwaukee. It took three days to make the trip with a load. In the depth of winter he suffered severely from the cold. It was upon those trips that he contracted rheumatism which caused him so much suffering in later life. When the epidemic of cholera swept over this country in the early 50's he rendered valuable assistance in caring for the sick.
He was the proprietor of the Rock River House in Theresa for fourteen years. This house under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Langenbach became famous throughout Wisconsin and is mentioned in the records of the State Historical Society as one of the best hotels of its time.
Mr. Langenbach came to Mayville in 1884 taking up his residence in the Second Ward where he has since resided.
He was a good citizen, always taking an interest in the affairs of the state and the nation. He did not impose his views upon others, but he never failed when his health permitted, to go to the polls and cast his vote upon election day.
He was an ideal husband and father and few persons cultivated the home virtue more than he did. He was the idol of his family, and the reunions of the parents and children of the Langenbach family during the Christmas holidays for many years past evince the strongest love of kindred, and of never failing devotion. No children were ever happier in the companionship of a father, and no father ever enjoyed their companionship more than did Mr. Langenbach on his excursions and hunting trips.
John Langenbach was a pious, Christian man. For many years, regardless of weather, this venerable man went daily to church to perform his duties to his maker. The daily pilgrimages of him and Mrs. Langenbach to and from church have been silent though potent examples of Christian piety and practice for young and old during these many years. As the end drew near, his devotion to the beloved of his heart asserted itself strong in the hope of immortality. He whispered in his last audible breath: "Why can we both not die together. There is a place for us two in Heaven, I have seen it," and thus he died.
The funeral will take place Friday morning at 10 o'clock from St. Mary's church with interment at St. Mary's cemetery, Rev. Jos. Ritger officiating.

On Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock at his beautiful home in the second ward, Mayville, our fellow citizen John Langenbach, beloved and esteemed by all, died at the advanced age of 85 years, six months and 28 days.
Mr. Langenbach was born September 26, 1830 in the province of Cologne, Prussia and in 1849, as a young man, came to America, directly to Theresa.
In 1854 he married Miss Maria Husting in Theresa and in the course of the years, the couple was blessed with 13 children, five of whom preceded him in death.
The eight surviving children are as follows: Mrs. August Ruedebusch, Mrs. Eduard Sauerhering, Robert Langenbach and Mrs. L. S. Keeley, all of Mayville, Alfred and Carl Langenbach of La Crosse, Mrs. Mathilde Kuechenberg of Waupun, and Armand Langenbach of West Bend.
In addition to these children and his faithful wife, he also leaves behind a good number of grandchildren and some great grandchildren.
In the first few years in Theresa he was a carter between Theresa and Milwaukee, which journey, with cargo, took three days. In the cold winter time this was arduous, whereby he contracted rheumatism, which he still suffered from years later.
Later he became owner of the Rock River House in Theresa, which he and his wife ran for 14 years in such an excellent manner that it enjoyed the best reputation far and wide.
In 1884 he bought a large lot and house in the second ward, Mayville, which he moved into with his family and remained until his death.
In 1914 he was allowed to celebrate the rare feast of his diamond wedding with his surviving wife in good health with his children, grandchildren, relatives and friends.
His funeral took place today, Friday morning, at 10 a.m. from the house of mourning to St. Mary's Catholic Church, Rev. Josef Ritger presiding, with many in attendance and burial in the parish cemetery.
Honor his memory and may he rest in peace.
We extend our deepest condolences to the grieving widow, the children, grandchildren and relatives.
