returned to Economy, and in 1873
young Duss was given a position as a
teacher OF German in the Economy
school. He remained there about a
year, and then entered Mount Union
College, but did not remain long. He
received an offer TO teach in the Kansas
State Reform School, in Topeka. and
as his limited means would not have
permitted him to complete his college
course, he accepted.
John Duss was always charging
his interests, however. and when he
saw a chance to buy q fine farm Of 100
acres in Webster County, Neb.. for
$3.50, he took it, and devoted con
siderable time to agriculture.
In 1855 Duss, who IN the meantime
had married, returned to Economy.
He claims this was at the earnest
solicitation OF Father" Henrici. who
had succeeded Father Rapp as The
head OF the society. Duss took charge
