Death of Henry Nauman
We get the following obituary of Henry Nauman, a former citizen of this vicinity and a good old friend, from the Mendota Reporter:
Henry Nauman was born April 9, 1830, in the village of Bindsachsen, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, and died at his late home in Mendota, Ill., June 25, 1913, at the advanced age of 83 years, 2 months and 14 days.
He was the oldest of a family of nine children, and in childhood enjoyed the advantages of the religious and educational training common to the Fatherland.
In the summer of 1852 he came to America with his parents, as a young man of 22 years. The family first settled in the vicinity of Perkins' Grove, where he was married January 25, 1857, to Miss Anna Barbara Pope, with whom he lived in happy union for more than fifty-six years, and who now sorrows as his widow.
In 1859 they removed to their homestead at Red Oak Grove, near Walnut, where he lived for thirty-five years, and prospered as a farmer.
In 1894 he retired from his chosen occupation and took up his residence in the city of Mendota, where he spent the remaining nineteen years of his life as a highly respected citizen of the community.
Eleven children were born into his family, of which ten survive him: Conrad of Minneapolis, Minn., Mary (Mrs. J. Stoldorf) of Mendota, Margaret (Mrs. J. Stephan) of Sterling, John C. of Burr, Neb., George P. of Mendota, Henry C. of Alexandria, Ind., Elizabeth (Mrs. W. Schinleber) of Hooppole, Benjamin of Peru, Millie (Mrs. I.B. Snavely) of Sterling, and Samuel C. of Mineral Point, Wisconsin. There are twenty-seven grandchildren living and two sisters, Mrs. J.C. Spielman of Mendota and Mrs. Philip Nagelsmith of Walnut.
Deceased was blessed with excellent mental and moral endowments. He was a man of sterling character, calm disposition and exemplary habits. In his business affairs he always maintained strict personal integrity, following the "Golden Rule," and accordingly he was esteemed and trusted by all who knew him. He was especially devoted to the members of his family and was ever to direct and aid them in the securing of that equipment which would make them useful members of society and content and happy in their own lives. He had the pleasure of living to see them all comfortably settled in life and was keenly appreciative of their many acts of kindness shown toward their parents. Being a man of clear insight and good judgment his counsel was generally sought and trusted. Of unfaltering faith in divine guidance he found help for every time of need. Of him it can truly be said that he valued most highly the things of highest value.
Soon after coming to this country he was brought to the experience of conversion and became a member of the Evangelical association. He adorned his Christian profession with a consistent life and stood as a pillar in the church of his choice. He filled most of the important offices in the gift of the several congregations with which he was connected. He possessed the necessary faculties to attract and enthuse others for Christian service. His career as a Sunday school superintendent at the Red Oak church was especially distinguished and successful. At the time of his death he was still enrolled as a regular teacher in the Evangelical Sunday school of this city. His spirit retained much of its youthful energy and vigor to the last. He died as he had lived, with thoughts of the Kingdom of God uppermost in his mind. His death was serene and peaceful.
Funeral services were conducted at the Zion Evangelical church Wednesday afternoon. The services were in charge of the pastor Rev. J.G. Schwab, who spoke with tender feeling and appreciation on the life of the departed. He was followed by Rev. P. Beuscher, who spoke in German, and by Rev. E. Burgi in the English language. Rev. J.J. Lintner offered prayer at the home. All these were former pastors of the deceased and came, as did the large number of relatives and friends, to honor the memory of the departed. A male quartet composed of Messrs. T.G. Herbert, C.W. Frankenberger, T.E. Vogler and Otto Schildberg, sang several beautiful selections.
After the services at the church the mortal remains were taken to Restland cemetery for burial. The six sons of the deceased acted as pall bearers, in accordance with his expressed wishes.
