The Progress, West Point, NE, June 24, 1886:
"Geo. Schueth, aged 22 years and three months, son of Charles Schueth, Sr., and brother of County Commissioner Schueth, died at his home in St. Charles precinct Sunday morning after a brief illness. The deceased was an exemplary young man, highly popular among his young associates, and well liked by all who knew him. The pride of his aged father and the joy of his mother, he will be sadly missed at the family hearthstone. Young Schueth was a sincere and devout Catholic; and in his last moments was consoled by the rites of his church. The funeral took place Tuesday morning, and was the largest we have ever seen in the county. Ninety carriages and wagons were in line from the residence to the old St. Charles church. When within a short distance of the church, in a narrow dell, with beautiful trees waving above them and the green grass underneath, the procession halted, the coffin was taken from the hearse by the pall-bears, members of the St. Joseph Society, who appeared in their morning regalia, and laid gently on mother earth awaiting the ceremonies peculiar to the Catholic church on such occasions. In a few minutes Rev. Fathers Englebrecht, Turk and Jungles appeared in their vestments, preceded by a banner and crucifix in the hands of sanctuary boys, and there, amid the whispering of the leaves, the soft sighing of the winds, the breathless stillness and bent uncovered heads of the large concourse of people, the preliminary funeral rites were solemnly chanted by the clergy over the remains of him who but a few days ago was full of life, energy and happiness. This concluded, the procession, headed by a number of little girls dressed in pure white, followed by the priests and their attendants, than the coffin and the members of the St. Joseph Society, and lastly citizens generally, all on foot, slowly wended their way up to the church, where a solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated by Father Englebrecht, and a brief discourse appropriate to the occasion delivered. The remains were than taken to the old graveyard adjoining the church, and soon all that was mortal of George Schueth was hidden from site in the bosom of Mother Earth."
