      From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) DAILY TELEGRAM, March 9, 1936, pg. 6, co

      August Grotelueschen, 74, resident of Colfax county for 67 years, who lived on a farm six miles north of Richland, died at 8:10 p.m. Saturday at St. Mary's hospital. He had been in failing health for the last two years, and was critically ill for the last four weeks. He was in the hospital one week.

      Born on Dec. 23, 1861, in Mayrel, Wis., he went to Colfax county with his parents eight years later. His father homesteaded there, and on that farm he grew to manhood. On Dec. 8, 1890, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Voss at St. John's Lutheran church on Shell creek, and they made their home on a farm next to that of his father's.

      Throughout the ensuing years he resided there, and during that time he made many lasting friends and gained the high esteem of all who knew him. He was always a member of the Lutheran faith and was an active and devout member of St. John's church.

      He is survived by his wife; three sons, Douglas, of Archer, Neb., Allie, of Central City, and Herbert, at home; one daughter, Mrs. Viola Kyes, of Columbus; three grandchildren; one brother, Charles Grotelueschen, of Schuyler, and two sisters, Mrs. Louie Sander, of Creston, and Mrs. David Kluck, of Richland.

      Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the home, and at 2:30 p.m. at the St. John's church. Rev. J.N. Marxen, pastor, will officiate, and burial will be made in Calvary cemetery. The body will lie in state until tomorrow at the Gass Funeral home, and will be taken home late in the afternoon.
