HANS LINDER PASSES AWAY
Death of Prominent Paullina Businessman at Sioux City.

Early Tuesday morning the news flashed from Sioux City announcing the death of Hans Linder who had been there for six weeks following an operation that was reported to have been successful for some time but which did not so prove. Mr. Linder had been ill at times for over a year and an operation was advised as the only remedy several months ago. He took treatment at LeMars for a time in the hope that an operation might be averted. This did him no good and last month while attending the interstate fair at Sioux City he was attacked with a reappearance of his trouble and decided to undergo an operation. This was done and the end came. While it was hinted by friends who visited him frequently that all did not seem right, still his physician held out the strongest hopes. He was partially unconscious most of the time during the last week of his life and was unable to converse with his wife or mother or attendants.

The body was brought home Tuesday evening, accompanied by his wife and mother, Mrs. Doris Hilbert. Theo. Moll and Wm. Bredenkamp, who had hastened to the bedside at the last moment but too late to see their friend alive, also accompanied the remains home.

Hans Linder was born in Germany May 5, 1861; died October 10, 1906. He came to this country with his parents in 1866, making his first home with the family in Scott county, Iowa His father passed away the same year. Coming to O'Brien county in 1888, he made his home on the farm which he has always held, a short distance north of Sutherland. In 1888 he was united in marriage to Miss Annie Telsrow at Davenport. Three children are left to mourn the loss of a kind father—Chris, Alvina and Hans.

Deceased had been in business in Paullina for nine years, six of which he was alone in the saloon business and three in partnership with Jacob Johannsen.

The end came at an early hour Monday last at the German Lutheran hospital in Sioux City where he submitted to an operation for appendicitis on the 14th of last month. His condition gradually grew worse until the end. Beside him were his devoted wife and mother who realized toward the last that there was no hope. Besides the relatives mentioned to mourn his death there are the following brothers and sisters who are present today to attend the last sad rites-Henry, William, Fred, Jacob, Chris, Andrew, Minnie, Annie, Bertha, Dora, Alvina, Alma and Emma. Henry's home is in Michigan. William and Minnie live in Scott county and the others are all residents of O'Brien county.

The funeral is being conducted from the Methodist church this afternoon beginning at two o'clock and the ser­vices will be in charge of Rev. J. Balph Magee, pastor of the M.E. church, and Rev. Lawrence of Peterson.

No higher tribute, we believe, could be paid to the departed than to say that he was strictly honest in all things and did what he thought to be right. If Mr. Linder had an enemy in the world that enemy has never been found. Although engaged in a business that is by some looked upon with disfavor Mr. Linder's friendship with all was strong and those who dis­liked the nature of his calling held him in the highest esteem. His sun­ny disposition and free-hearted man­ner of handling the problems that confront humanity always received from him that treatment that revealed to the world a big heart and a kindness not always seen. The writer can say as one of the business men of the town that Mr. Linder always had the prosperity of the town close to his heart and it is widely known that he was never solicited in vain for aid for a worthy object or the upbuilding of the town. In business circles where he frequently took active part he will be missed. Among his intimate friends his departure seems to be felt as keenly as though he were one of the family. At home where he always made his sunny disposition so pleasant there is that terrible feeling that always pervades the home where kindness and love always dwelt.

Interment was at Prairie View.
