John F. Gatzemeier
John F. Gatzemeier was born October 14, 1883, at Wein, Missouri, where he spent his boyhood days. Prior to his coming to Montana, he spent several years at points in the west coast states, Alaska, and Canada. In the spring of 1911 he filed on a 320-acre farm 11 miles southeast of Hingham. He was united in marriage to Mrs. Aafedt, nee Carrie Alme, in December 1918, to which union were born three children.
After spending the day helping his brother Edward, who lives south of Rudyard, the deceased returned to his home late that night and attended to all the chores, then he attempted to remove the battery from the truck. A sudden, severe pain over his heart, an ailment suffered from time to time during the past year or so, is believed to have halted the removal of the battery and hastened his retreat to the house when after removing his overcoat and mittens, he was suddenly stricken with heart failure and fell lifeless to the floor. At about noon on the following day, John Ostness, our rural mail man, found the prostrated form which discovery shocked the entire community.
He is survived by his wife and four children, Katherine, age 13; Cecelia, 10; Richard 12, and Henry Aafedt, a stepson. Five brothers and four sisters, who are: Fr. Arsenius of Washington, Missouri, August Gatzemeier, Kansas City, Missouri, Albert Gatzemeier, Canada; and Edward Gatzemeier of Rudyard, Mrs. Ben Vennemann, of Waldorf, Maryland, Mrs. Ed Warnken of Kansas City, Missouri, Mrs. C. P, Stotko, Hermann, Missouri, Sister Johanilla of New Orleans of Louisiana.
