Adolph Haas
Mr. Adolph Haas died last Thursday as a result of poisoning, self administered. He was in town that day and purchased a quantity of London purple and on the way home he took the portion mixed with fruit. On arriving at the gate at home, he was barely alive and expired shortly afterward. A doctor was called, but it was too late.
Mr. Haas was an invalid for about seven years as a result of a stroke of paralysis and could not walk. He was a familiar figure in town, always driving up to the stores and was waited on from his buggy.
His helpless condition is probably the reason for taking his life. He leaves a wife and several children. Interment took place in the City Cemetery here Friday.

DORIS JEAN HABERLEIN
Brazosport Facts, Clute, TX, June 27, 2006
Doris Jean Haberlein was born March 27, 1927, to Henry August Haberlein and Emma Olga Knebel Haberlein in Carmine, Fayette County, Texas. She was baptized and confirmed in the Martin Luther Lutheran Church in Carmine. She attended first grade through freshman year in high school at the Carmine School. As a sophomore, she entered La Grange High School since her parents moved to La Grange in 1941. She graduated from La Grange High School in 1944, third-highest in a class of '55. Immediately after graduation, she attended Durham's Business College in Houston as well as working part-time. Graduating from Durham's after a year, she went to work for Hartwell Iron Works in Houston, and after two years there, she went to work for the City of Houston in the Civil Service Department as a personnel assistant. In 1950, she moved back to La Grange, taking a job at Stolz Memorials. On March 25, 1951, she married Lloyd M. Bohot in La Grange, Texas, at the St. Paul Lutheran Church. They had two children, Barbara Elaine Bohot Langdon, born March 5, 1952, and Robert Glenn Bohot, born February 17, 1954. She continued working at Stoltz Memorials until October 1959, when the family moved to West Columbia, Texas, and very soon afterward to Angleton, Texas. After Hurricane Carla ravaged the area in September 1961, she went to work for Dow-Badische Company, jointly owned by Dow Chemical Co. and Badische Analin and Soda Fabrik of Germany, where she worked as executive secretary, purchasing agent and, finally, when the company became BASF, as computer programmer and analyst. She retired in 1980.
Lloyd died on July 18, 1965, when the children were 13 and 11, respectively, so it was up to her to keep the family together. She, together with the help of the children, remained in their home, took care of rent houses and paid all outstanding debts within three years. In 1968, she married William Bert Glover and helped him take care of his ranching work at Chenango in Brazoria County, as well as continuing to work at BASF. In 1974, they moved to West Columbia, as they had sold the Chenango ranch and bought 414 acres on the west side of the Brazos River on County Road 25. They maintained that ranch, together with their home on County Road 810 west of West Columbia. In 1992, they moved to Columbia Lakes Resort to be nearer their County Road 25 ranch. In 2001, she wrote and had published an American historical novel, "The Medallion," that told the story of three generations of Americans, the first of whom were immigrants, the second who were entrepreneurs of the Gilded Age in America and the third who lived during the Roaring '20s. She was a life-long member of the American Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, serving in various capacities. She was also a member of the Columbia Lakes Civic Association and the Columbia Lakes Retirees Club.
The funeral service will be on Thursday, June 29, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Angleton, Texas. Visitation will be held for one hour prior to the service. Interment will be in Columbia Cemetery in West Columbia, Texas. She is survived by her husband, William "Bill" Glover; son, Robert Glenn Bohot of Friendswood, Texas; daughter, Barbara Elaine Bohot Langdon of Tulsa, Oklahoma; five grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. John Lutheran Church.

CLEO MARIE HAGEMANN
Schulenburg Sticker, 29 Nov 1906
BABY CLEO MARIE.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hagemann was visited by the death angel during the midnight hour Friday, and Baby Cleo Marie, their little daughter, responded to the call of Him who had said: “Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven”. The illness of the beloved child was of short duration, as on Friday she was playful and of a happy disposition. During the evening she became violently ill and all that loving parents, friendly neighbors and medical skill could do, was futile.
Mr. and Mrs. Hagemann have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad affliction. The tendrils of love have so entwined their hearts that life without the dear baby almost seemed a blank. In their happy hours that were theirs, their hopes and their plans for the future happiness of the little one were unselfish, fostered upon the consoling thought that “blessed are the pure in heart.” Only a week previous to the interment Baby Cleo had received the rites of baptism, a comforting balm to a bleeding heart.
Sunday morning, in the presence of a number of sympathetic friends the little white casket, containing the mortal remains of what was one the pride of a happy home, was most tenderly committed to Mother Earth. In a voice, full of sympathy, and burdened with a sorrowing hear, Rev. Hese spoke consolingly and offered a prayer for the comfort of the bereaved. The confirmation class sang “Sweet Rest” and decorated the little mound with the beautiful foral [sic] offerings. To the family The Journal offers its sincere sympathy, and trusts that they will find comfort in the belief that the temporary parting is for the happy purpose of preparing for a future meeting in a tearless home. – La Grange Journal.

ARTHUR HAHNKE DEAD.
Relatives and friends of Mr. Arthur Hahnke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ad Hahnke of Victoria and nephew of Mrs. Alwina Herder, were shocked and grieved to learn of his death which occurred early Thursday morning, the result of an accident which happened to him the evening before.
He came home about 10 o’clock and had placed his gun on a table in the room and it is thought while pulling off his coat he brushed the gun from the table and when it struck the floor it fired and the bullet lodged in the unfortunate young man’s ankle, shattering the bone so that amputation was deemed necessary by the attending physicians. The operation was performed about 2 o’clock that morning, but he was unable to rally from the shock and the great loss of blood and passed away at 8 o’clock Friday a. m.
His remains were conveyed to this city and laid to rest in the family burying grounds in the Old High Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok performing the last sad rites at the grave.
Arthur was born in Shiner January 30, 1884, and removed to Victoria in 1902. He was a frequent visitor in this city and had many friends here. He was a young man who was well thought of by all who knew him.
Friends and relatives who attended the funeral from a distance were: Mrs. Davis, Miss Lucy Fiek, and Messrs. Albert and Ad. Schawe of Victoria; Mr. G. W. Eschenburg and children and Mr. Ed. Busch of Shiner; Mr. and Mrs. Hester Strecht of Hallettsville; Mr. Albert Herder of Floresville; Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Nitschmann and family, Mr. Wm. Hillje and family; Mesdames Chas.

Wilhelm Hahnke, of Schulenburg.
The Mercury is pained to chronicle the death of Wm. Hahnke, which occurred at 4 p.m. at his residence at Schulenburg, August 24. The funeral will take place at 4 p.m. Friday, interment following at the High Hill cemetery.
Wm. Hahnke was in his 69th year and is one of the pioneer settlers of this section, having first settled down on Middle creek about 4 miles north of Schulenburg, where he successfully farmed up to about 1888 when he moved to Schulenburg and built his home where he now lived.
He was well known here and had many friends, who were all heard to remark, "well a good man has gone." And no one can doubt but these expressions came from people who were sincere. In life, in deed and in thought he was a good man, always treating his fellow man as he would like to be done by.
He leaves a wife and four children; Mrs. Aug. Herder, of Schulenburg; Mrs. F. J. Nitschmann, of Weimar; Mrs. Ad. Hahnke, of Victoria, and Edw. Luedke, of Shiner. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved.

WILLIAM HAHNKE
Another name is stricken from our ever lessening roll of old settlers.
Mr. Hahnke in his 68th year, passed away, Wednesday afternoon of the 24, 1910, after a brief illness. At his bedside when the end came were his wife, children, grandchildren and many relatives and life-time friends to bid him that last farewell.
Interment took place in the family buring [sic] grounds in the High Hill cemetery, by the side of loved ones gone before. Impressive and solemn services were held at the residence and the grave, Rev. F. Piepenbrok, the Lutheran minister, officiating. The funeral procession was the longest we have witnessed in the city and the floral offerings surpassed in profussion [sic] and beauty anything ever seen here before.
Mr. Wm. Hahnke was born in Wittelbresse, Province, Brandenburg, Germany and came to Texas, when only eleven years of age. with his parents, first settling at Brenham, afterwards removing to Schulenburg in 1866, making this place his home ever since.
Deceased was a gallant Confederate soldier and was in Walker’s division which was attached to Greene’s Brigade. He fought in several battles. He attended the reunion at Beeville of the boys only a few months ago. The old fellows are rapidly passing to their last reward.
He was a man of excellent habits, fine moral character, and sturdy constitution, and he continued to be active in the pursuits of business life till the last. To this end there is no doubt that his sunshiny disposition largely contributed. He met most of the conditions of life with a joke. He was a practical, matter-of fact man, but had his own peculiar way of extracting merriment from life as it went a long. To the outside world he did not show that he worried about matters that could be bettered in other ways. This cheerful spirit remained with him to the last. He was invariably a good neighbor. When he died full of years, and ready to be gathered to his fathers, the grief that was felt over the close of his long career was widespread and sincere. His best monument will be the good part that he has left behind him in the community in which he lived for the past forty-four years.
Deceased leaves an aged wife, four daughters, Mesdames Edward Luedtke of Shiner, Adolph Hahnke, Victoria, Alvina Herder, city Frank Nitchmann, Weimar; fourteen grand-children and eight great-grand-children to mourn his demise, to whom the Sticker joins the many friends in extending sincere sympathy.
Those from a distance who attended the funeral were:
J. F. Nitschmann and family, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hillje, Mrs. C. Fahrenhold, H. Shawe, Mrs. E. Potthast, Mrs. A. Richter, W. A. Kunz, Chris Dahse of Weimar.

LITTLE GIRL DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION
Mention was made in our last issue of Miss Agnes, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hajovsky of Holman, being taken to San Antonio for operation for abscessed or ruptured appendix. The ink on the paper was hardly dry ere word was received that the little girl had succumbed and was no more.
The deeply bereaved father returned home Thursday night with the body of his beloved daughter and the funeral took place the following day, same being attended by a very large crowd of sympathizing relatives and friends, many from this city going out to pay the last sad tribute to the bright and pretty little girl.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved ones.

3 BFH Students Killed As Car Skids Into Bridge
Three 16-year-old Bishop Forest High School students, two of them from Weimar, were killed and two others injured when their car skidded on wet pavement and hit a culvert on Highway 90 at the western edge of Schulenburg Wednesday night.
Dead are:
Lawrence (Larry) Bartosh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Kunz of Weimar.
Herbert Zimmermann Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Zimmermann sr. of Weimar
Jimmy Hajovsky, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. V. Hajovsky of Schulenburg.
Another Weimar youth, Freddie Berger, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Berger, was brought to Youens Hospital.
Least hurt was the driver of the car, Richard Lee Pavlas, 16, of Schulenburg. He received cuts and bruises but was not hospitalized.
The tragic accident [occurred] at about 10 p.m. at the culvert just this side of Lakeside Cafe. Highway Patrolman Charles Polansky said the boys had been cleaning up the Knights of Columbus Hall, where their junior class had sponsored a prom for the seniors two nights earlier, and were on their way to Bob Adamcik’s Cafe, west of Schulenburg.
Young Pavlas told Patrolman Polansky that as he was passing a car in front of him his car went into a skid and as he applied his brakes it began to skid broadside toward the culvert railing on the south side of the highway.
The car had almost straightened out again when it hit the culvert. The back part of the car on the right side was crushed in, killing the three occupants in the back seat, probably instantly.
Pavlas and Berger were thrown out of the front seat by the impact. Pavlas told the patrolman he got Bartosh out. The other two boys were pinned in the back seat and it was sometime before officers were able to extricate them.
The car, a 1951 Ford sedan owned by Pavlas’ parents, was demolished.
Patrolman Leonard A. Swann and Schulenburg Police Chief Fritz Prilop collaborated with Patrolman Polansky in the investigation.

WOUNDED IN ACCIDENT, HOLMAN RESIDENT DIES
Mr. J. J. Hajovsky Receives Fatal Injury; Funeral Monday.
News of the distressing accident which befell our good friend, Mr. J. J. Hajovsky of Holman, last Friday afternoon at about 6 o'clock caused much uneasiness and regret among the citizenship of this section, among whom no man stood higher.
From particulars at hand, it seems that Mr. and Mrs. Hajovsky spent most of the day in Weimar. Returning home late in the evening, they decided to move several pieces of furniture in antipation of the coming wedding of one of their daughters. In moving a large safe a single barrel shotgun hung on the wall became dislodged and fell to the floor, was discharged and the full contents of the load of No. 2 shot struck Mr. Hajovsky in the legs just above the ankle. One leg was almost severed, the foot hanging by a few shreds of skin and one of the tendons. A large hole was shot in the other leg. He fell to the floor, bleeding at an alarming rate.
As quickly as possible Dr. A. H. Potthast was summoned. He did everything humanly possible, but realizing the seriousness of the injury summoned Hubbard's ambulance and made hurried preparations to take the wounded man to Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio.
Mr. Hajovsky evidently understood the seriousness of his injuries, but was the coolest person in the home. He talked to members of the family, told them what he wished done in case the injury proved fatal, chided them for grieving over the accident, and in every way tried to cheer up his grief-stricken family.
The run to San Antonio was made as quickly as possible. On arrival at the hospital amputation of one leg between the knee and ankle was resorted to at once. The wounded man's conditions was such that it was deemed necessary to give him a blood transfusion at once, and Dr. Potthast, who accompanied Mr. Hajovsky to San Antonio, gave his blood in an effort to save the patient. Everything known to medical science was resorted to in an effort to save the injured man, but it was without avail, and soon after the noon hour Saturday, conscious almost up to the last moment, he bade his beloved ones goodbye, and quietly passed into "that bourne from which no traveler returns."
The body was prepared for burial and brought home by the Hubbard Undertaking Company, being taken to the family residence in the Holman section, from which point it was transported Monday morning at 9:30 to the Catholic Cemetery at Holman, where it was tenderly laid to rest. It was the largest funeral procession ever seen in this section, attesting the immense popularity of Mr. Hajovsky among his fellowmen. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful.
At the funeral services, Rev. A. Raska of Ammannsville sang the solemn requiem; Rev. C. J. Benes of Nada who had twenty-eight years before performed the wedding ceremony for Mr. and Mrs. Hajovsky delivered an address in Czech; Very Rev. Szymanski addressed those present in English, and Rev. J. J. Holdebrand represented the Knights of Columbus of the local council, for the deceased had been a member for many years, and his son, Mr. John Hajovsky, is the present grand knight. The funeral was held under auspices of the Knights of Columbus.
Active pall bearers at the funeral were Edmund Hajovsky, Silvian Vacek, Frankie Cernosek, Eddie Vacek, Adolf Vacek and Fred Kana. Honorary pall bearers named by the family were as follows: F. F. Anders, C. A. Lidiak, C. J. Adamcik, E. J. Watzslavick, E. R. Hluchanek, Roman Bartosh, Jr., Henry J. Laas, Ed Neiser, E. F. Gold, Jno. C. Hubbard, Frank Hluchanek, Frank Mazoch, Fred Cernosek, Frank Hluchanek, Jr., Willie Mazoch, Louis Hluchanek.
Mr. Hajovsky was born at Holman, Fayette county, April 30, 1894, and was 49 years and 5 months old at time of death. His father died when he was 6 years old, and he then moved to Hostyn to make his home with his grandparents. Here he lived until about 17 years old. Then he moved to Dubina, and when about 21 years of age was united in marriage to Miss Mary Vacek. The young couple lived in the Dubina community two years, when they moved to Holman, where Mr. Hajovsky purchased the Paul Benedict farm property, which he greatly improved and made one of the most valuable pieces of farm property in Fayette county. Here he resided up to the time of his death.
Mr. Hajovsky was a consistent and faithful member of the Catholic Church, a zealous member of the K.J.T. and Knights of Columbus order, and for many years an active director of the Hill Bank & Trust Company.
Mr. Hajovsky is survived by his widow, five daughters, Mrs. John Harrie [as printed] of San Antonio, Mrs. John Hluchanek, Misses Annie, Lillie and Georgie Hajovsky of Holman; five sons, Messrs. John and Joe Hajovsky of this city, Henry, Steve and Jerome of Holman; his stepfather and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Hluchanek of Holman; three sisters, Mrs. Frank Cernosek, Mrs. Henry Kana and Mrs. Frank Stavinoha of the Holman-Ammannsville section; one brother, Mr. Adolf Hajovsky; two half-sisters, Miss Cecelia Hluchanek and Mrs. Emil Jalufka; and one little grandson, Steven Hluchanek, to whom Mr. Hajovsky was very much devoted.
No man has ever lived in this section who stood higher among his fellowmen than did Mr. Hajovsky. He was a man of integrity, honesty and uprightness of character, a man who had few equals and no superiors. He was true to his friends and convictions, a man of whom it could be truly said, "His word was as good as his bond". Seeing him in town Friday morning the writer could not help but admire him as a fine looking man, the very picture of health and vigor, yet in a few short hours, the accident had happened which soon removed him from among us forever. How true it is that Life is the most uncertain thing on earth! This good man, the very picture of health and vigor, and in a few hours cold in death! Yet such an ending may come to any one of us. It is but proper to say we all should be prepared for it as was our good friend, Mr. Hajovsky. He regretted leaving his family, it is true, but so far as meeting his Creator he was unafraid, for he had never harmed his fellowman, and had lived a life above fear or reproach. Truly it may be said of him, "A good man has gone from among us".
To the grief-stricken family the heartfelt sympathy of all is extended. We all loved this good man, and in his passing we all mourn with those who feel it most keenly. May God be with and comfort you is the sincere wish of all.

MRS. W. S. HALSEY DEAD.
Mrs. W. S. Halsey, aged 70 years, 7 months and 21 days, died at 1:50 o’clock Monday morning surrounded by loved ones, after an illness of only a few days. She was conscious to the last and although knowing that her life was near its close, she maintained no dread but bravely awaited the termination of the struggle. She called her husband, who has been her life companion for forty years, and bade him good bye and said she was ready to die and that she had prepared to meet her God. Then she passed away as if she was going to sleep. She willawake [sic] in the arms of Jesus.
Her life was gentle. In her heart of hearts she carried those she loved, and her hand was never weary, her step never failed in ministering unto, caring for, waiting upon those who were dependent upon her.
“Then fell upon the house a sudden gloom,
A shadow on those features fair and thin;
And softly, from that hushed and darkened room,
Two angels issued where but one went in.”
Mrs. Halsey was born in Pulaski Co., Va., and with her husband and daughter came to Texas in 1872, settling in Fayette County a few miles east of Schulenburg, afterwards moving to town when it was first built. They made this their home ever since until last year they wanted to see the country of their childhood and removed to Virginia, remaining there only a short time and again removed to Texas, settling at Beaumont and afterwards returning to Schulenburg.
Deceased leaves a husband, one daughter, Mrs. Jennie Rose and two sisters, Mrs. Gill of Stockdale Texas and Mrs. Gott of parisburg [sic], Va., and a number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn her demise.
Interment took place at the City Cemetery Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Rev. Worrel of Weimar, officiating. The floral offering was beautiful indeed.
The Sticker extends its sincerest sympathy to the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow and may they be consoled by the fact that their dear wife and mother is now in that home above not prepared with hands.

Monsignor John J. Hanacek
Hanacek served Texas Catholics
Monsignor John J. Hanacek attended to the spiritual needs of countless Catholic parishioners across Texas as a priest in the Archdiocese of San Antonio and the diocese of Victoria for 57 years.
Hanacek, 87, died Wednesday in La Grange.
Born July 26, 1907, in Ruzombrk, Czechoslovakia, Hanacek and his family immigrated to the United States on March 19, 1920.
Hanacek entered St. Procopius College in Lisle, Ill., in 1924. Four years later, he entered St. Mary's Seminary in San Antonio to study the priesthood.
He remained at the seminary until ordained a priest March 19, 1936 - exactly 16 years to the day after he came to Texas.
In July 1936, Hanacek was appointed assistant pastor at St. Phillip's Catholic Church in El Campo, where he remained until 1939.
That year, he became pastor of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Blessing and of the St. Anthony mission in Palacios until 1942.
From there, Hanacek served as the pastor of Holy Cross Catholic Church in D'Hanis until 1945 before leaving for St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Ammansville. There, he also served as head of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Holman until 1947.
From 1947 to 1974, Hanacek served as the pastor of St. Cyril and Methodius Church in Shiner. He was appointed Domestic Prelate by Pope Paul XI in 1971 and received the title of monsignor.
"It was honor he deserved," said Hanacek's brother, Frank Hanacek of La Grange.
Hanacek retired briefly from 1975 to 1978, but was asked to resume his pastoral duties in Holman, Ammansville and High Hill.
He continued to faithfully serve as pastor until last year when an illness forced him to become inactive, his brother said.
"He loved to hunt and fish in his spare time," the brother said. "He had a workshop where he did a lot of lathe and carpentry work."
Hanacek said his brother was also a well-respected man who was an eloquent speaker.
Hanacek was preceded in death by his sisters, Viasta and Beatriz Hanacek and brother, Lad Hanacek.

La Grange Journal, Thursday, January 29, 1929
John Hanusch, an old citizen, if not the oldest citizen in this community, pass to his reward Saturday morning, reaching the age of 98 years, 10 months and 16 days.
The deceased was born February 20, 1835, in Gleunau, Saxony, Germany. Here he was also baptised and later confirmed his baptismal vow through act of confirmation. On the 1st of September, 1867, he became married to Miss Marie Zuschke. This union was blessed with eight children; of these four preceded him to their heavenly reward. In the year 1883, he with his family emmigrated to America, locating in the Ward community. He chose farming as his vocation. Facing the hardships ---- severe blow became his lot when in the year 1892 his devoted wife was taken from him by death. He continued his vocation with his children until about twenty years ago when his strength became impaired on account of age. His children having established their own households by this time, he spent the remainder of his declining years with his son-in-law, Richard Walther. Here he was cared for with loving hands until the end. The surviving children are: His son, August of Warda, and three daughters, namely, Mrs. Rich. Walther of Warda, Mrs. John Booth of Jacksonville, Texas, and Martha, whose location the writer failed to get; besides seventeen grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and one brother, Andrew Hanusch of The Grove, Texas.
The deceased was a devoted Christian at heart. He became a member of the Warda Lutheran church shortly after he located here with his family in 1883, and remained as such until his death. Although feeble and his vision and hearing greatly impaired during the last years so that he was in need of a guide, he attended divine services as regularly as his strength would permit him, and strengthened his faith by regularly partaking of holy communion. In his devotedness and faithfulness to his church, he was an example to the flock.
Burial took place Monday morning at ten o’clock in the Warda cemetery; Rev. G. Buchschacher officiating. NEWS GATHERER.

Mrs. Bertha Harigel
Mrs. Bertha Harigel, aged 98 years, died at her home in Bellville last Friday, Jan. 14. She had been in ill health for several weeks.
Bereft of her husband more than 50 years ago, she gathered together the tangled and broken threads of life, fastened them again, reared her four children to manhood and womanhood, only to witness the invasion twice again, and mourn the loss of her two daughters, Hedwig and Norma, the later to pass on in August, 1947, at the age of 73 years.
Born January 20, 1851, she grew to young womanhood in Germany and became the wife of Wm. Harigel, an immigrant from Germany, in Oct. 13, 1868. The couple made their home in Bellville.
Judge and Mrs. F. L. Harigel of Robstown, arrive in La Grange Saturday afternoon and on Sunday afternoon, accompanied by Miss Otilie Harigel and Mrs. B. F. Harigel were at Bellville to attend the funeral of their aunt.
Mrs. Bertha Harigel was, in truest sense, a Christian woman, she bore her cross with a fortitude most commendable, always cheerful and willing, and ever ready when sorrow came to the home of a neighbor, to assist in lessening the burden and directing afflicted to the brighter lights that shine beyond. Her advanced age was not a detriment to her wish to come to La Grange last September, and witness the last rites courtesied to her nephew. (Uncle Buck) Alfred Harigel. May she sleep peacefully.

G. HARMON/HERMANN
Weimar Mercury, 10 Jun 1899
LaGrange, Texas, May 30.—G. Harmon or Hermann (believed to be an assumed name), an old man about 71 years, committed suicide yesterday via the morphine route.
The deceased has been here several weeks, working at the carpenter trade; he was a good worker and had been sober and steady until a few days ago.
Nothing was known about the deceased except a few remarks he had let fall among his fellow-workmen and acquaintances to the effect that he was a German and had came to this country in 1846; that he had a wife, a son and a daughter; that his son had ccrossed him in some matter and he had disowned him and that his wife sided with the boy, on account of which he had turned over to her all his property, amounting to about $20,000, except $300, and had left home; when and where this happene he would not say; he also stated that his son was now a celebrated lawyer. The deceased evidently desired to keep his identify [sic.] concealed and his whereabout unknown to his relatives and friends, for after taking the poison, he walked out into the yard of the house at which he was rooming and burned all his private papers and letters, after which he called to a man who was working nearby and told him he had taken poison. These were the last words he ever uttered, and though the doctors and several citizens worked with him all night, they could not get him out of the [stupor] into which he had fallen, and early in the morning he died.
Deceased claimed to be both a Mason and an Odd Fellow, but never tied to prove this to the lodges of the above orders here.

A ladder was placed into the tank thru the manhole and Harris went in. When he reached the bottom he is said to have told the superintendent, who was present looking in, that the odor in the tank was bad and the superintendent immediately requested him to comeon out, which he started to do.
When he climbed the ladder to where he could cathch the top of the tank his head fell to the side. He was caught by the superintendent, and two other employes of the mill were asked to help. As the superintendent loosend his grip to straighten the man's head so he could be drawn up into the manhole, thte other parties dropped hiim and he fell to the bottom of the tank lifeless.
In speaking to Mr. M. F. Granville, manager of the mill, he stated that he did not know if the negro's death resulted from gas or from the fall into the tank.

BESSIE HARRISON
Weimar Mercury, 21 Mar 1891, page 1
After the Democrat was off the press, we learned of this most tragic and heartrending accident, the particulars of which, so far as we can learn are as follows:
Miss Harrison, in company with her sister Miss Edna and Mr. Phil Saunders had started for a walk to the cemetery. As they reached the M., K. & T. track, they noticed a freight train coming along. Mr. Saunders crossed in safety and Miss Bessie Harrison made the attempt when the engine struck her, carrying her a distance of probably 50 feet, when she fell off and rolled under the wheels of the locomotive, her head being completely severed from the body. This affair is a particularly sad one. Miss Harrison was but embarking on the voyage of life. She was but standing in the threshold of womanhood, with all the grand expectations of a noble and glorious future opening before her. Struck down by the fell hand of Death just as the roseate dawn of unlimited possibilities was making its presence known—it is indeed sad; it seem cruel.—LaGrange Democrat.
C. W. HARRISON
Colorado Citizen, 8 May 1890, page 3
Last Saturday Dr. John H. Bowers, Hon. I. W. Middlebrook, Wells Thompson, S. L. Green and C. W. Harrison, Esqs., and Mr. Henry Ilse visited Eagle Lake on a fishing expedition. They left the city in high spirits, bent only on amusement and the capture and enjoyment of the fish of the lake. Late in the afternoon Gov. Thompson and C. W. Harrison, Esq., determined to take a sail on the lake, procured a boat and went out. A short time after going out by some means the boat capsized, and Mr. Harrison was drowned. With the aid of an oar of the boat Gov. Thompson succeeded in swimming to where he could touch bottom, and hold on to some lake weeds where he was rescued. Although search was made for Mr. Harrison's body that evening and night, it was not discovered until next morning. The contraction of the limbs revealed the fact that he had taken cramp while swimming, causing his drowning. He was a young attorney of fine mind, well versed in the law, and numbering many friends in this section. His body was brought to Alleyton by private conveyance, and thence conveyed by rail to Flatonia last Sunday for interment. The party on the trip greatly regret the sad occurrence.
. . .
Much credit is due the Southern Pacific railroad company for their action in getting the remains of C. W. Harrison, Esq., to the home of his relatives in Flatonia last Sunday. Because of the high water they were unable to run their trains to Eagle Lake, the scene of the unfortunate accident, and the friends of Mr. Harrison brought his body to Alleyton. Without extra charge, the company ran a special to Alleyton and conveyed the body to relatives and friends in Flatonia, that the last sad rites might be performed at his old home. Mr. Harrison was not a rich man, and no motive other than the kindliest actuated the company in "their labor of love." To Mr. J. T. McQueeny, division superintendent of the company at San Antonio, especial credit is due for his efficient and heart-whole services in the premises. Let the railroad company and employes have full credit for their good deed.

MRS. HENRY H. HARRISON
Weimar Mercury, 29 Jun 1917
Woman Burns to Death In Her Home at Flatonia.
Flatonia; Texas, June 25.—Mrs. Henry. H. Harrison, wife of a prominent stockman and former merchant of this place, was burned to death in the flames when their home in the northeastern part of the city was consumed by fire at an early hour this morning.
How the fire originated has not been determined. When it was discovered in a closet, at about 3 o'clock, both Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, who were the only members of the family at home, attempted unsuccessfully to extinguish the incipient blaze, and while her husband was occupied in giving the alarm over the telephone, Mrs. Harrison ran upstairs, presumably to save some valued article, and her absence was not noticed for some minutes, Mr. Harrison supposing that she had then left the house. When he came out and looked about for her she was not to be seen, and by this time the flames had made such headway that there was no possibility of a search in the house being made nor of the fire being extinguished, although the alarm had been made general all through the town by ringing bells, blowing whistles and firing pistol shots, and a large crowd had gathered to see the fire, which was spectacular in the extreme.
It was two and one-half hours before the flames died down sufficiently to allow any search to be made for the body. Until this time it had not been certain whether Mrs. Harrison had perished in the burning house, or had wandered away while overcome by excitement; but she could not be found elsewhere, and immediately after the search in the burning embers was begun some charred remains were found, and later other parts, shrunken and distorted out of all human resemblence, setting at rest all doubt as to her horrible death.
Mrs. Harrison, previous to her marriage, was Miss Ellen Douglas Mitchell of Cold spring, San Jacinto county, and taught several terms of school here. During her long residence in this city after marriage she had entered energetically into the social life of the community and was known as a leading spirit in intellectual and philanthropic work.
The family consisted of three daughters, one of whom, Miss Helen, has recently been instrumental in the formation of a Red Cross chapter here and is now at Wichita Falls, attending the National Honor Guard Girls' encampment. Another, Miss Marie, is visiting in Houston at the home of her aunt, Mrs. John Lane, a sister of Mr. Harrison. Both were immediately notified by
wire. The remaining daughter, Miss Alma, was spending the night with her grandmother, Mrs. -J. M. Harrison, in another part of the town at the time of the tragedy.
The house w a handsome two-story frame residence. Nothing, was left standing above the foundation except two tall brick chimneys, built up from the ground, which after the fire loomed from a square of glowing embers like ghastly monuments to the destruction they had witnessed. The contents of the house,inciuding many rich furhishings and elaborate furniture, represented a total loss of well over $10,000, partially covered by insurance. This fire was
the first in Flatonia for some fifteen months.
Mr. Harrison was nearly crazed at the loss of his wife, and the tragedy has had a depressing effect upon the entire community, coming as a climax upon the heels of several violent deaths by accident here within the past two weeks.

Weimar Mercury, 17 Sep 1898, page 8
Flatonia Argus: The community of Muldoon was suddenly stricken with dread surprise last Sunday evening, by the death of Miss Lizzie Hatch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Hatch, living near the Presbyterian church, five miles west of Muldoon. The young lady was in usual good health, and attended services at Muldoon at 11 a. m., returning home late in the afternoon. Soon after her return home she remarked to her father that she would die in a short time, which proved sadly true in a few minutes. A note was found in her trunk containing instructions as to her burial. No indications of suicide, as she was peaceful and conscious to the moment of her death. Her friends remember remarks of her's recently made that she would not live long. Whatever may have been the cause for such an untimely ending of her life is clothed in the mysteries of her silent grave. She was 18 years of age, an affectionate daughter and sister, and a devoted christian, and a member of the Baptist church at Muldoon. She had participated in the communion services the day of her death. A large concourse of people attended her burial Monday afternoon; [services] conducted by her pastor, Rev. T. E. Muse.

FRANK HAUSER, Sr.
La Grange Journal, 23 Jun 1932
FOUND DEAD IN PASTURE
The body of Frank Hauser, Sr. was found in a pasture near his farm home several miles west from La Grange, about 9 o'clock last Sunday morning. Death came to him from a gunshot wound. Whether the shot was fired on Saturday night early, or later the next morning, is a matter of conjecture. Squire Schleier was called to the scene Sunday morning and held an inquest, rendering his verdict that death came to Frank Hauser, Sr. as the result of a gunshot wound, self-inflicted 18 Jun 1932. Frank Hauser was an industrious farmer, and a man of strong physique; he must have left his home in the early evening carrying his shotgun. In his pasture, he rested the gun—after removing the trigger guard, on a strand of wire, then sat down and pulled the gun toward his body. Death evidently came quickly according to our informant, as he still clutched the pipe he was in the habit of smoking, in his left hand. He was born 18 December 1861.
The funeral was held Monday. He is survived by the widow and three children, all grown, two sons and one daughter.

AUGUST J. HAUSMANN
Prominent Farmer Passes
Not withstanding the fact that he had been in good humor and apparently healthy the day previous, August J. Hausmann of the Bluff section, died at his farm home last Thursday morning, death coming quickly. He was 68 years, 2 months and 19 days old at the hour of his demise.
Mr, Hausmann can be properly referred to as a native citizen of Fayette County, who by his honorable dealings with his fellow man won the respect and good will of those with whom he came in contact. Such citizens are to be encouraged and their passing on to yonder shores creates ever, a regret. May he rest peacefully and be called when the judgment of all creatures are enforced.
Mr. Hausmann was born in the Bluff neighborhood and grew to manhood there, and after acquiring his majority was united in marriage with Miss Lena Hensel, the marriage occurring in the year 1891. To this union there were born two children, H.A. (Hank) Hausmann, automobile mechanic of La Grange and Mrs. Paul Lueders of near La Grange, or what we have termed, Bluff. The widow, the two children and one grandchild and other relatives survive. Friday morning the body was taken to the Williams Creek Cemetery and interred there, with Rev. R. Heise conducting the religious ceremonies. In attendance were many who sympathy was real and who regretted that this friend had been called, yet were willing to submit to the decree as issued by Him who hath said, "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give thee rest." Another good farmer passes.

Death Claims Wife Following Surgical Operation—Saturd.
The shadow fell Saturday across the doorstep of a home where happiness had reigned for the past nineteen years; Mrs. Giralda Hausmann, nee Tiemann, wife of Gus. Hausmann, died at the La Grange Hospital, Saturday at noon, after the surgeons has exercised all diligent efforts and attention to restore her to temporary health.
Braving the approach of the reaper Mrs. Hausmann, a patient sufferer for several months, sought relief at the hands of the skilled surgeon; violating as we do, the privacy of what transpires, we do mention the fortitude and the fail encouraged by theis God-fearing woman. Resigned, yet because of home ties and sincere affection, essaying to keep; the threads of life intact; singing low while her pastor offered a prayer. And then oblivion, merciful in its effect and stay of pain. He who doeth all things for the best, willed it that the pilgrimage on earth should end.
Mrs. Hausmann was a daughter of late Albert Tiemann, and his widow, who survives. She was born at the farm home several miles East from La Grange, and was united in marriage with Gus. Hausmann, of the Bluff section, April 15, 1917. No children blessed the union, the two were real pals, and happiness was there lot until invaded by illness. Dissolution, in this instance, has its painful hurts.
Services were held at the home south of the city, Sunday afternoon, which the body was taken to the St. Paul Lutheran Church; Rev. Heise, in his effort to be calm, found it difficult to outlaw his heartfelt interest; he paid to the departed a merited tribute. “Whenever her kind services were needed, she responded, sacrificing herself for those she believed she could aid.” Interment was made in the new cemetery, in the presence of a very large number of relatives and sympathizing friends.
Flowers, blanked high at the cemetery, were sent by friends and neighbors ; she had endeared herself to the people of that Bluff neighborhood, and being at all times active in the club work, both for the school of that community and the Home Demonstration Club, the lass to her fellow workers is recognized. She was president of the Club at the time of her death.
The Journal offers its sincere sympathy to the bereaved husband, and to the mother, Mrs. Louise Tiemann, also to her surviving brothers, Guy and Aaron Tiemann of La Grange, and sister, Mrs. Reinhard Weishuhn of Nechanitz.
