Herman Martin Maronde born May
2, 1S4S, at Statpe, in the State Of
Herman julius Martin Maronde born
May 2, 1S4S, at Statzpe, in the State o!
Prussia, Germany, died at Davis Cor
ners, Howard county, Iowa, December
9, 1915, attaining an age of 81 years
months and days.
Deceased was reared in Germany
where he learned the millers' trade
Coming to America at the age of 20
in 1868, he found employment in a
sawmill at Manlstee, Mich. AT
Manistee he also found his compan-
ion for life in the person OF Miss
Auguste Stuermer, leading her to the
altar July 20, 1870.
In 1873 Mr.. Maronde together with
his wife and two children came to
Iowa, settling at once on farm near
Davis Corners on which (though re-
tired) he was to find his earthly jour-
ney's end.
Indications of failing health were
noticed over year ago. For while
his condition seemed to improve un-
til in May of this year he became SER
iously i'll. Since then physicians call
ed his case hopeless. Continued medi-
cal treatment gave him some relief
during the summer. However. with
the beginning of autumn his condition
became SO aggravated that even he,
who had been hoping against hope,
gave up hope for the preservation of
his life. For the las. two months he
was almost totally helpless.
Mr.. Maronde had enjoyed good
schooling in Germany, such as is COM
monty accorded children in that
country. He had also learned to
work and he enjoyed reading and
working as long as his physical con-
dition permitted, yet the most blessed
schooling we trust, though the most
severe, were the trials, the paternal
divine chastisements of the long
months of suffering, when he learned
to submit entirely and willingly to the
will of God to cut loose from things
earthly, to cherish the consultations of
his Savior offered in the Word and
Sacrament and to pray for deliver
ance. Blessed are they that die in
the Lord.
Deceased leaves TO mourn, his
surviving widow, Mrs. Auguste Mar
onde, two sons Herman of Marshall,
Mimi, and Louis of Davis Corners,
one daughter, Mrs. Arthur Hike of
Cresco, Iowa; 1.-TWO children died in
infancy, one brother and nine grand
children.
Funeral services were held at the
Lutheran church in Davis Corners
Saturday, Dec 18th, at noon. Inter-
ment took place at Howard Center.

and friends for the many kindnesses
shown our husband and father dur
ing his protracted illness and the help
