John Prasch is of German extraction. His ancestors were among the early settlers of the German colony surrounding Egg Harbor City. His father was an undertaker in that town
and John worked with him as an apprentice until he had reached twentyone years, at which time he set out to accomplish the thing that had been uppermost in his desires for some time, to take up tile study of the undertaking profession. After a very thorough and extensive preparation for his work, during
which he attended three schools of embalming, Mr. Prasch located at Hammonton, opening an undertaking parlor in the Fay Building. His success was such that within two years his business warranted the building of a new and modern structure which he occupies at the present time. Several years ago, Mr. Prasch took his son into the business with him. The undertaking firm of Prasch & Son is well established in Hammonton.
During the 'World War, Mr. Prasch gave his assistance to the home authorities in putting Hammonton "over the
top" in all the campaigns supporting the men over there.
