ALBERT WEISS.

We we're greatly panied to learn on
Tuesday afternoon OF the death Of
Albert Weiss, one of our most highly
respected citizens, which occurred in
ibis city THAT afternoon, following an
Illness of some two months duration,
dating back to an operation for gall
stones.
AlbeIt Weiss was born in Roxem-
burg, Germany, February 26, 1912 and
died in this city, October 81, 1911,
aged SO years, s months and 8 days.
He grew to manhood in Germany and
spent three years, in the German army
coming 10 America in 1870 when he
Was % years of age. June 1st 1873,
he was united in marriage to Miss D.
Marie Scha1np and to this union we're
born four children, Ella. Arthur, Meta
NMs. Chas. LiSchesky,) and Harry.
The eldest child, Blla died in infancy.
Mr., and Mrs Weiss came to Great
Bend in 1879 and with his brdther-in-
law, William Brueser. went into The
general merchandise business, en- the
north side of the Square. Later they
bought the building now owned and
occupied by the E. R. Moses Mercan-
mle Co., furniture department. They
remained there until the spring of
1883 when they sod out and with tiae'l
families spent a number of months i'm
Europe, returning again to Great
Bend but not going into active busi-
ness. The Brueser family moved to
Kansas CITY, but Mr.. Weiss remained
here where he had property int ereyrs
and these he increased greatly.
Mr.. Weiss was in every respect a
'aome man. He was of a retiring mo
ueSt disposition, who loved his home
and his flowers above all. The Weiss
nome ca The corner of Broadway and
HoElaHd WIS always one of the show
places in The summer season, when
me owner would spend hours and
hoalrs working in his garden and
among the flowers. It is not amiss
20 say that it was probably the hand
somes conner in the city. He was
honorable in his dealings with men
q finn adherent to the principles
which he considered right. He be-
longed TO. the Masonic fraternity, the
Cemmandery of which had charge of
ms funeral which was conducted from
The late home on Thursday afternoon.
The family were all present at the
time of his death except Harry, who
mad just staNted ON a river trip south
from st. Louis and could not be 10
Gated.
One by one the men who have help
ed to make this section of the
state are being laid away in the city
on the west. AS their number grows
Larger, there presence will be missed
more and more. Strive as we may,
we Of the younger generation cannot
I'LL the places of our elders in build
lrg up Kansas. The work they per
termed in this line is their monu-
ment.
We join the great number of
friends of the Weiss family in ex-
tending sympathy.

CELEBRATE LANDING ANNIvER
SARY.

The landing Of the first German
colony in the United States was cele,
brated in an appropriate manner al
the Maemerchor hall in this city
last Saturday afternoon, by the
members of the Militair Venein and
number of their invited friends
and the occasion was a highly enjoy.
able one for all present. Although
uhere was a large number OF Gel.
mans in this country prior to that
time, yet in 1888, on the 9Th day of
October, was the landing of the first
German colony in the United States
and 1t was in honor of this that the
celebration was held. The first cele.
bration of this day in the entire
United States was held at the
zUavem grove, Just east of Great
Bend, many years ago, and large
NUMBER were present Saturday who
mad attended the first picnic in
Ohe zutavem grove some twenty odd
years ago. Since that time 1t has
been taken up in different parts of
the country until now in almost every
German settlement a celebration is
held annually in honor of the event
yet 1t remained for the people of
uh!s community to start am obser.
vance of the day which has been of
such vast importance to the United
States for without the assis.
lance of the sturdy German, who has
done such great work for the upbuild.
ing Of this great country, It would
probably not occupy the important
position among the nations OF the
world that 1t does. The Germans

never lost the love of the Fatherland
or forgotten the teachings of the old
