Obituary

Another Old Timer Called Unto His Last Reward

People of this section were deeply saddened Thursday morning of last week when the news flashed over the community that Mr. August Dahse,one of the oldest and most prominent of our citizens, had been called to his last reward.

It was generally known that Mr. Dahse was in a precarious condition and had been so for a number of weeks, but being a man of much vigor it was hoped he would be able to over come his physical ills and be spared to family and friends for a long time to come. This, however, proved a vain hope. A sinking spell early Thursday brought on Death very quickly.

Funeral arrangements were made and at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon the remains of this good man and citizen were committed to rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, this city, from the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Emil Brunkenhoefer, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok, local Lutheran minister, officiating. The funeral was largely attended, attesting the high esteem in which decedent was held by his fellow-man.

Mr. August Dahse was born March 5, 1862, in Germany. He came to this country when a mere infant, the family locating at Welcome, Washington county. At the age of 14 years his parents moved to Colorado county, settling in the New Bielau community. Here, later in life, Mr. Dahse was united in marriage to Miss Ida Engels, the ceremony taking place Nov. 2!, 1887. Seven children blessed this union. Of this number, Oscar, died in infancy, and Clem, another son, died in Fort Worth in 1926. The widow and remaining children--Mrs. Clara Laas, Mrs. Erna Brunkenhoefer, Herbert Dahse of Houston, Eric Dahse and Erwin Dahse of Austin--survive. Other survivors are seven grandchildren, one brother, Willie Dahse, and two sisters. Mrs. Ida Emken of San Antonio and Mrs. Mary Lichey of New Bielau. Mr. Dahse was a member of the Lutheran Church of New Bielau. At time of death he was 68 years, 2 months and 10 days old.

August Dahse was well and favorably known throughout this section, where he spent practically his entire life. He was a man of friendly, genial disposition, enterprising spirit, ever proving himself a devoted husband and father, a good neighbor and friend, and his passing will be noted with extreme regret by a large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout South Texas.

In the loss of their beloved husband and father, the family has the heartfelt sympathy of all our people.
