John Jacob Daerr.
After an illness dating back four or five months, John Jacob Daerr, died at the family residence on West Grant avenue at 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, the end came suddenly, only his wife and children being present. Mr. Daerr had been a sufferer from lung disease but it was thought by his physician and his many friends that he was on the road to recovery. On the day that he died he had partaken of the noonday meal in company with his family and not more than half an hour previous to his demise he had been conversing with Dr. J. D. Farkas and explained to him how much better he felt. About four o’clock he called his wife to the chair on which he was reclining and said to her that he believed that he was going to die. A hemorrhage had set in and it was only a matter of a few minutes until his prediction came true.
The deceased was the son of John Daerr and was aged 38 years. His mother died about four years ago. Mr. Daerr had assisted his father in the coal business for a number of years and later in life worked about the numerous mills in this vicinity. He was a member of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic church and of Duquesne lodge, No. 75, Loyal Order of Moose. The deceased is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Jennie Leasure, whom he married about 17 years ago. To this union five children were born, four boys and one girl, Edgar, Harold, James, Albert and Vera, all of whom are living. Other survivors are his father, two brothers and two sisters, Messrs. Jacob and Peter Daerr, and Miss Gertrude Daerr, of this place, and Mrs. Peter King of McKeesport.
The funeral services will be conducted this morning at nine o’clock from St. Joseph’s church, high mass of requiem being said by Rev. Father Utecht, the pastor. Interment will follow later at St. Joseph’s cemetery. Members of the Order of Moose acted as pallbearers. Mr. Daerr had hundreds of friends in this place and his family and relatives are the recipient of words of condolence on every hand. (Duquesne Times, Friday, May 3, 1912, p 1 and 2)
