FRED WILLIAM DICKHUTE
Frederick William Dickhute was born near Berlin, Germany, November 28, 1838. After a long and well spent life, he crossed the border to the eternal home October 14, 1923, at the ripe age of 84 years, 10 months and 16 days. At the time of his death he was living with his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Watts, thirteen miles northeast of Burwell.
On February 12, 1860, Mr. Dickhute was united in marriage to Augusta Louise Sackhoff, and to them thirteen children were born, seven of whom preceded their father across the mystic stream. Mrs. Dickhute passed from this life in 1898, after which the husband made his home with his son, E.G. Dickhute, until five years ago, when he went to live with his daughter, Mrs. G.S. Watts.
Early in his life, he heeded the divine command to “Remember they Creator in the days of thy Youth”.
He united with the German Methodist Episcopal Church of Fowler, Illinois and when still a young man transferred his membership to the M.E. Church of Burwell, Nebraska.
By the special blessings of Providence, Mr. Dickhute lived well beyond the Scriptural span of life. The words of the ancient seer are fulfilled by his life: “Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.” At such an age, even though his death brings sorrow to many friends and loved ones yet death seems natural in such cases. In death, this father, husband and grandfather has received his honorable discharge from life's warfare and an exaltation into a fuller and more complete life.
He is survived by six children, E.G. Dickhute, of Burwell, A.S. Dickhute of Olympia, Washington, C.F. And A.C. Dickhute of Shelby, Nebraska, Mrs. Wm. H. Watts of Loup City, and Mrs. G.S. Watts of Burwell. All of whom were present when the end came except the son in Washington. Besides the immediate relatives, Mr. Dickhute leaves fifteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
The battle's fought, the race is won, Thy glorious warfare's past, Servant of God, well done! And thou art crowned at last.
