OBITUARY
Nitsche — Alexander Nitsche, after suffering for years, for many weeks entirely helpless, with his hearing impaired, sight gone, suffering intensely, but complaining very little, never finding fault with anything or anybody, always patient, his mind never failing, Feb. 28, 1922, dictated the following, remarking that that day was his sister Maries 78th birthday: Born in Guhren, Sillcia, State of Breslau, Germany, Jan. 11, 1837. Had 5 brothers, 2 sisters. Both sisters were living a year ago in Berlin. The father passed away at age of 84; mother died in childbirth many years before. He united with the Lutheran church in his youth, but attended all of the different churches believing that none had a monopoly of doing good. He learned the blacksmith trade under his father, traveled extensively as a journeyman as required by law. After receiving his diploma he opened a business of his own in the city of Berlin where he was married to Amalia Bunke in St. Louisa church in 1863. He lived there (where daughter Anna was born) until coming to America. He landed in Wisconsin in May, 1869; worked on a farm until near Christmas, moving to Beloit to work at his trade. Here his son Louis was born. He moved to Chicago immediately after the great fire in October, 1871, and taking Horace Greeleys advice to "go west, young man" he landed in Hamlin, Kans., in October, 1873, where his home has been ever since. He worked at the forge until past the age of 70 without a vacation, scarcely missing a day. He closed his dictation with these words: "My work is done, I am not perfect, Oh no I have nothing to regret, I have no malice in my heart, only the best of wishes for all. Poor mamma, went to rest Aug. 16, 1914, at the age of 81, I too am ready for that long rest by her side until the judgement day, of which I have no fear. Rest, rest, sweet rest; may the Great God of all bless you."
He did not die in bed. He was fully dressed and actually did in every sense of the word, "Lie down on his couch to pleasant dreams." He died Sunday, March 12, at 5 o'clock, at the home of his son, L. A. Nitsche, Tulsa, Okla., aged 85 years, 2 months. Funeral service was held in Hamlin Baptist church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Roy N. Hillyer assisted by Rev. Claude Studebaker. Hamlin Masons attended in a body, had charge of service at the grave.
