Today the ashes of Mr. Aug. Gossel, who died last Monday, will be buried in St. Marcus Cemetery. His remains were cremated at the crematorium on Thursday. Mr. Gossel had suffered from heart and kidney problems for four years, but none of his family believed death was so near.
The deceased, who attained the age of 60 years, was born in the Troppau area, from whence he came to America in 1863. He soon returned to his old homeland, but in 1867 made the voyage across the ocean for the second time and settled in St. Louis. He established a hardware and stove business at 3739 North Broadway and ran it with great success until his death.
His business and social connections brought him into contact with large sections of the population and procured him numerous friends who valued him highly for his noble qualities of character. They showed their devotion by mourning his death and accompanying his body to its final resting place in numerous numbers. The funeral was conducted by the Harry P. Harding Post, G.A.R., of which the deceased was a member. He had also been a member of Aurora Lodge, Order of Odd Fellows, the North St. Louis Turnverein [gymmnastics club], the North End "Ruder Klub" [rowing club], the Harmonie Mens Choir, and the "Unabh. Protest. Waifenverein" [independent protestant orphan's society], all of whom were represented at the burial. In the crematorim, the Paragon Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Chas. R. Blume, F. Doerr, Bloemker and Saler, and the children's choir from the "Unabh. Protest. Waifenheims" [independent protestant orphans' home]. Pastor Ilgen gave a warmly felt oration to the funeral gathering, in which he highlighted the good qualities of the deceased and commended his works as a role model to emulate.
The deceased leaves a widow, Mrs. Anna Gossel, nee Sporleder, and three children – Mrs. Martha Neumayer, Jacobine Gossel and Fred Gossel.
