Joseph Kluthe Dies At Home Of Son Monday Pioneer Settler of This Vicinity Passes Away After Long Illness Was 86 Years of Age
Joseph Kluthe, one of the earliest settlers of the Oleyen community passed away at the home of his son, Conrad Kluthe, at 6:30 Monday evening. He had been in railing health since January.
Mr. Kluthe was perhaps one of the widest known early settlers of Dodge county. He was one of the first four men to settle in this vicinity and was very active in the early development of Dodge county. He was County Supervisor from this district for many years and served several terms on the board of directors of the German Mutual Insurance Co.
He was born May 16, 1847 at Harren, Westphalia Germany. When he was 8 years of age his father died. Just 2 years later he was orphaned through the death of his mother. Following his mother's death he lived with his sister until he was 15 years of age. During the following four years he worked for various neighbors and at the age of 19 having saved enough money to come to America, he left his native land to live with his brother at St. Louis, Mo. Later he left there to brave the hardships of pioneer Nebraska. Coming to Dodge county he filed on a homestead one mile northwest of Dodge in 1870. At that time West Point was the nearest town and their means of transporting necessary supplies to their homestead was accomplished with the use of a yoke of oxen. As time progressed and in spite of several crop failure from drouth and grasshoppers his faith in this country was unshaken and he purchased more land.
The first residence on the Kluthe homestead was a sod house and in this they lived for 10 years. In September 1874 his first wife, Thresa Marfeld, died, a year after their marriage.
On July 5, 1875 he was united in marriage to Julia Vogel and to this union 11 children were born of whom 7 are surviving. Those preceding their father were Sister Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Katherine, wife of Andrew Miller, and Joseph who died 4 months ago.
His second wife died in Sept. 1929, 4 years and two months after they had observed their golden wedding anniversary. The reclining years of their life together were spent in Dodge where they had their home near the St. Joseph Church, of which they were devout members. Since the death of his wife he has made his home with his son, Conrad.
Surviving him are 7 children, (Lena) Mrs. L. F. Ulrich, (Thresa), Mrs. F. B. Heiman both of West Point, Bernard of St. Edward, John and Conrad, both of Dodge, Sister M. Victoria at Forest Park, Ill., and Rev. A. S. Kluthe of Central City, 36 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren also survive him.
Funeral services are being held this Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock at the Sacred Heart Church at Oleyen. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
