12 JAN 1917 - LATE MRS.
JOHN NEUMAN LAID TO REST IN CEMETERY
* Funeral Services Were Held from German Lutheran Church Monday Afternoon
- The remains
of the late Mrs. John Neuman were placed in their final resting place in
the Gackle cemetery Monday afternoon, following services held at the German
Lutheran church, at 1:30 p.m., at which time were words of pathos spoken by
Rev. H. M. Baumann, which did much to remove for a time the burden of grief
resting on the hearts of the relatives.
In the death of Mrs. Neuman the community loses one of its most highly respected and loved women. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother of three small children, from whom she has been taken by the angel of death at a time when her attention and duties were most necessary, but God is supreme in His wisdom and we must all abide by the rules of the upper world.
Louise Petre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Petre, was born on the 5th day of December, at Hebron, North Dakota, where she grew to womanhood. During the year of 1910, she came to Gackle to accept a position as clerk for the firm of Jacob and Chris. Neuman. During her services in this store she became acquainted with John Neuman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Neuman, to whom she was married June 14, 1911.
A year and a half later they moved to Watkins, Mont., to reside on a homestead. During the winter of 1915, Mrs. Neuman contracted a bad cold from which she was unable to recover, and in January, 1916, they returned to Gackle feeling optimistic in her recovery. Physicians soon after pronounced her case as tuberculosis and as the time passed her illness gradually grew worst.
On Monday, January 1, 1917, she was taken to Jamestown to the Kemp hospital where every effort known to medical science was used to prolong her life, but to no avail and Thursday January 4th, 1917, she breathed her last.
To this union were born three children, Alvin, Leslie and Bernherd, five and three years, old and the youngest child one year and four months old. Besides her husband the deceased is also survived by her parents, four sisters, who are Mrs. C. M. Baumgartner, of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. John Talbot, of Illinois; Mrs. Chris Neuman, of Sheilds, N.D.; Miss Martha Petri of Hebron, N.D., and four brothers as follows Henry, Martin, and Fred of Hebron, N.D., and Willie of Sheilds, N.D.
The Republican joins with the community in extending heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.

10 AUG 1917 - MRS.
SCHLITTENHART ANSWERS FINAL CALL
*
Died Sunday from Injuries Received While Working in the Field
- One of the
saddest events it has fallen to the Republican to chronicle is the death of
Mrs. Schlittenhart.
Jacob Schlittenhart has been the victim of nearly every drouth and hailstorm that has come near Gackle. But like true workers that they were, he and his wife have worked untireingly, always hoping that the next year would be better. This year the hailstorm cleaned out every acre of Mr. Schlittenhart's farm, but undauntingly he accepted a position on the Durnier farm while his wife stayed at home and did the farm work.
While pitching hay in the strong wind last Thursday Mrs. Schlittenhart injured herself internally. She became weaker very fast and Thursday night at 2 o'clock George Hummel was called to get Mr. Schlittenhart. The doctor said at once that she would need an operation but she was so weak to be moved until Sunday, when she with her brother, Ludwig and her husband went to Jamestown.
Mrs. Schlittenhart never recovered from the operation. The operation was performed at 3 o'clock and at 6 o'clock she had passed to The Great Beyond.
The husband and the family of the departed have the sympathy of the entire community it was shown by the number who attended the funeral.
OBITUARY

Elizabeth Hust was born in Russia in 1870. In 1894 she was married to Jacob

The hearts of the
people go out to the father and children and the Republican joins the
