Married: 30 Jul 1895, Dodge County, Wisconsin
This community was shocked Sunday morning, when it became known that George Janssen had passed away quietly in death at 10 o'clock, after being ill for only two days.
Mr. Janssen sustained a fractured shoulder during the Christmas holidays, and spent several weeks in the Fond du Lac hospital. He returned apparently fully recovered, but he suffered a physical breakdown, which was aggravated by pneumonia and heart disease, causing his unexpected death.
The deceased was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on Jan. 22, 1870. When he was 16 years of age, he came to this country, coming directly to Mayville, where he entered the employ of Charles Ruedebusch, sr., pioneer merchant here.
He was married on July 30, 1895, to Miss Lima Ruedebusch. Some time later they went to Oakfield, where he conducted a store together with Carl H. Ruedebusch for several years. He then returned to this city and entered the furniture business.
In 1899 he started in the insurance business in which he was inteested until death. The Mayville Limited Mutual Fire Insurance company was formed in 1901, and he had held the office of secretary since organization. He was also secretary of the Eastern Wisconsin Mutual Insurance company, assistant secretary of the Mayville Building and Loan company, secretary of the Wisconsin State Association of Mutual Insurance companies for several years.
Mr. Janssen was a life-long member of the Turnverein, holding the office of president for some years. He also was a member of the Maennerchor and the Association of Commerce.
Surviving Mr. Janssen are his widow and two sons, Victor Janssen, Kansas City, Mo., and Carl Janssen, of this city. Two brothers, Carl, of Bremen, Germany, and Ernst, of Milwaukee; three grandsons, James and Robert Janssen, Kansas City, and George William Janssen of this city also survive.
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the late home. Judge E. H. Naber and John A. Thiel were the speakers and the remains are to be interred in Graceland cemetery.
