LOSEKE--March 18th, at 10:30 a.m., of kidney trouble, after three weeks' illness John Henry Loseke, aged 81 years and 3 months.
Mr. Loseke was born in Oldenburg, Germany. In 1858, he removed with all his family to this county, settling in the valley whose creek now bears his name.
He has been, all these years, a good citizen, beloved by all who knew him, and his departure to the Summer Land will be sincerely mourned; we all lost a kind-hearted friend here, and may we hope to greet him there.
Mr. Loseke leaves four children: Henry, Herman, Gerhard, Mrs. Annie Ahrens, wife of Edwin Ahrens.
The funeral took place Saturday from Loseke creek church.
