George F. Brechtel, a well known resident of the city, died at his residence, 1421 Tama street, on Thursday morning, November 13, 1913, at 7:35 o’clock. Death was due to cancer and the deceased had suffered for more than a year with the malady. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from his late residence and from the Presbyterian church at 2:00 o’clock. Rev. Munneke preached the funeral sermon. The G.A.R. had charge of the services at the church and the Red Men at the cemetery. Interment took place in Bass Point cemetery. The pall bearers were J.H. Hill, I.N. Force, Everett Booth, A.M. Shaefer, Charles Seaverts and W.H. Blanchard. George F. Brechtel was born in Germany, November 1, 1848, and died at his home, 1421 Tama street, Boone, Iowa, November 13, 1913, at the age of 65 years and 12 days. His parents came to the United States when he was a baby. The early part of his life was spent near Buffalo, New York, and later in Michigan. He enlisted in Company A, 8th Michigan cavalry, at Jackson, Michigan, and served in that regiment during the civil war, until discharged for disability in December, 1964. He later enlisted in the 4th United States infantry and served three years on the frontier, coming to Boone in 1869. On the 20th day of March, 1870, he was married to Miss Sarah A. James. To this union were born eleven children, George C., of Lake View, Oregon; Chas. H.A., of Eugene, Oregon; E.C. of Fresno, California; Mrs. Lizzie L.F. Klugh, of Los Angeles California; Mrs. Mae Conklin of Boone, and Mrs. Julia Downing of McDonald, Kansas, who with the widow survives him. Four children, Wm. L., Harriett A., Maude L., and Alva Ca., have preceded him to the other side. Up to 1892 he was engaged in farming near Boone. In February, 1892, he moved to Boone and entered the service of the C.&N.W. railway company, and was employed by them as blacksmith helper continuously for twenty years. In August 1913 he was retired on a pension. A year ago last August a cancer developed on the right upper jaw, but her continued working until the 26th of December, 1912, when he was compelled to give up his work. He then commenced taking treatment and doctored steadily until about two months ago. But all treatment was of no avail and he grew steadily worse until Thursday morning, when at 7:35 death relieved him of his suffering. Throughout all his sickness, pain and suffering he was always kind and patient and when the doctors gave him up he seemed resigned to his fate. By his death his family has lost a kind and loving husband and father and the community a respected and dutiful citizen. He was a member of W.C. Crooks Post No. 329, G.A.R., and of Oneida Tribe, No. 22, Improved Order of Red Men.
