Roman Hund is Seriously Injured in Fall From Plow Monday
Roman Hund, one of our most highly respected citizens, met with a bad accident Monday afternoon when he was thrown from a plow on which he was riding. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital Wednesday afternoon for care and it is hoped that he may be able to overcome the threat of pneumonia.
Mr. Hund was driving through the alley at the rear of the J. F. Albrecht Co. store, when the plow lay struck the crossing in such a way as to throw Mr. Hund directly in the path of the plow and at the heels of the horses. While badly bruised, he managed to get to his home just across the street. He was suffering severe pain and, while it is thought no bones were fractured, there is some evidence of internal injuries.
Mr. Hund has been making his home by himself the past year and, following the accident, his children were summoned. Mrs. Tony Kocurek, Mrs. Paul Gehrig and Joe Hund came down from Minneapolis and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Hund of Mankato have been with him.

His children have been at his bedside during the pat week, his daughter, Mrs. Charles McLaughlin, arriving Tuesday night with Mr. McLaughlin from their home in Vallejo, California.

Mr. Hund is highly regarded in our community. In years past he served on our village council and was mayor for several terms. For many years he conducted a meat market in our village.His illness is of great concern to our people.

Roman Hund Well Known Citizen, Dies
Injuries Received Ten Days Previous Direct Cause of Death
Roman Hund passed away in death at St. Joseph's hospital in Mankato last Thursday evening. Injured severely ten days before when thrown from his plow, he had been taken to the hospital where pneumonia developed and he lingered but a few days.
The death of Mr. Hund marks the passing of one of our well known citizens, one who has lived in Mapleton for forty two years. During his earlier years in Mapleton he was active in business, recognized for his interest in civic affairs, and his counsel was sought in village matters. With advancing years, he retired from active business, kept a keen interest in his farm and garden, welcomed visits from his old friends. His untimely passing is indeed to be regretted.
Roman Hund was born August 11, 1860 at Strassburg in the province of Baden Germany. He grew to manhood in the old country and often told of incidents of his boyhood and of seeing the soldiers of the Fatherland, at the time of the War of 1870. When he was eighteen years old he came to America and to St. Louis, Missouri. He was in very frail health and when he left the old country his people bade him goodbye with the thought that they might never see him again, that he might not even live to see America.
In St. Louis his health improved and he secured employment in the packing plants where he learned his trade as a butcher. He was employed in several large markets of the city. Two years later he came to Mankato where he operated a meat market until 1893 when he moved to Mapleton, buying the Schimmele meat market, now owned by George Bissonette.
On July 2, 1886, Mr. Hund was united in marriage with Barbara Kiffe at Mankato, who was a daughter of George Kiffe, one of the pioneer settlers of that city. To this union were born eight children, one son dying in infancy.
The great sorrow of Mr. Hund's life was the tragic death of Mrs. Hund on July 4, 1900. As she was bathing her little children on the eve of the fourth of July celebration, a kerosene lamp became overturned, and in saving her children's lives, Mrs. Hund was so badly burned that she lived but a few hours. With seven growing children, the youngest a baby, Mr. Hund has carried on with untiring devotion, giving his children the love and care of both father and mother. He worked early and late for them and lived to see them grow to manhood and womanhood, a credit to the devotion of their father.
During his years in Mapleton, Mr. Hund served for several terms as a member of the village council and later as mayor of the village. He was conservative in his ideas but ready to assist in everything which meant for the welfare of the community. He operated a meat market for years until it was taken over by his son Andrew.
Mr. Hund was a devoted member of the Catholic church. During his entire lifetime he was steadfast in his conviction, laboring early and late for the advancement of his church and its principles. For many years he served as a trustee of St. Teresa Church. It is of interest to know that Mr. Hund's uncle, Michael Hund, with whom he made his home when he first came to Mankato, was one of the most ardent pioneer churchmen. It was at his little log house in Limetown, four miles north of Mankato that the first mass was celebrated in Blue Earth county. The officiating priest was Father Aravoux, an early day Catholic Indian Missionary. It was also Mr. Hund's uncle who bought the block of land in Mankato where the first Catholic church was erected. It was valued at $600, one half being paid by Mr. Hund, the other by the Mankato Townsite company.
Mr. Hund is survived by three daughters and four sons, Mrs. Julia Kocurek and Mrs. Marcella Gehrig of Minneapolis and Mrs. Clara McLaughlin of Vallejo, California, Leo Hund of New York City, Andrew Hund of Mankato, Justin Hund of Detroit, Michigan and Joe Hund of Minneapolis. He is also survived by a sister in Germany, another sister in the old country passing away last fall.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at nine o'clock from St. Teresa Catholic church, Rev. L. M. Devlin, the pastor, preaching the funeral sermon.Interment was made in Calvary cemetery.
Among those from a distance who attended the funeral services were Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Kocurek, Roman Kocurek and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hund and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gehrig and five children and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kiffe of Minneapolis; Miss Ruth Hund, Mr. and Mrs. Al Strobel and daughter of St. Paul; Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kiffe, Mrs. John Degleman, Mrs. George Kiffe, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Hund and C. J. Laurisch of Mankato; Mr. and Mrs. Charles McLaughlin and daughter of Vallejo, California; Charles McCarthy of Le Sueur.
