F. W. HABIGHORST,
OLD PAYSON BUTCHER,
DIES AT HIS HOME
___
Had Been Resident of Payson
Since 1869 -- Known
Throughout County.
___
Frederick William Habighorst, for many years a resident of Payson, died Sunday at his home in Payson at the age of 79 years, 7 months and 4 days.
Mr. Habighorst was born in Germany, April 28, 1844. He came to America on May 4, 1866, and about three years later came to Payson, where he remained until his death.
On June 7, 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Jemima Jenners of Hannibal, who died September 7, 1887. To this union were born eight children, five of whom preceded him in death. The remaining are: Mrs. Emma Offord of St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. Minnie McVay of La Plata, Mo., and Mrs. Lily Lehman of Eugene, Ore.
On June 4, 1889, he was again married to Mrs. Rebecca Eaton, who survives him, as also do eleven grandchildren, three step-daughters, a stepson and a number of nieces and nephews.
Soon after coming to Payson, Mr. Habighorst opened a meat market which he conducted until about three years ago, when failing eyesight and ill health forced him to retire. Before the day of the telephone and the automobile, he delivered meat to the surrounding community and made friends by the hundreds, friends who came miles to see him during his illness.
Mr. Habighorst was also noted for his generosity and was always willing to give a helping hand to those in distress. For years he has been a member of the Congregational church of Payson, where the funeral services will be conducted by the pastor, Dr. Tuttle, Wednesday, December 5, at 2:30 p.m.
The burial will be in the old cemetery where Payson Masonic lodge of which he was one of the oldest members, will have charge.

Additional: A book about historical Payson, Illinois, noted that the surname was pronounced "like hobby horse." (At least in America, I'm sure.)
Mr. Habighorst also had an ice house, and his second wife who during their marriage went by her middle name, Cora, ran "the Habighorst hotel," which had overnight rooms, a restaurant and his butcher shop, in Payson, Illinois. Cora did the cooking, and her pies were 'famous' in the vicinity.
