Ed Claussen Dies Suddenly, Unexpectedly
E d w a r d B. Claussen, 64-year old farmer-rancher who had lived in this community all of his life, died suddenly about 7:30 a.m., Friday, June 22, at the Veterans Hospital in Grand Island. Mr. Claussen, who was to have been released from the Hospital that day, suffered a heart attack and collapsed in a hospital corridor while walking to the dining room for breakfast. He entered the hospital for treatment of an ulcer. He had been seriously ill, but his condition was not considered critical and his sudden death came unexpectedly.
Except for a period during World War I when he served 22 months in France, Germany and Italy, he spent his entire life in farming and livestock operations in this community. His home was in Atkinson.
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Curtis Barnett, pastor, officiating. A quartette composed of Mrs. Gene Livingston, Mrs. G. E. McClurg, Mrs. Ronald Watson and Mrs. Leland Andersen sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus " and "Be Still , My Soul." Mrs. William Schorn was the organist. Burial was in Woodlawn Cemetery, where Farley-Tushla Post of the American Legion conducted military rites. Legion members served as honorary pallbearers and the active pallbearers were Ed Etherton, Lee Gilman, Claude F. Humphreys , E. V. Hickok, Ed Winkler and John Conard. Color bearers were Bernard Luben and Robert Pease; color guard, Loren Hickok and LeRoy Hoffman. The firing squad was composed of Walter Miller, Robert Slaymaker , John Sicheneder, James Sicheneder, Gene Ziska, James Mullen, Vernon Siebert and Lavern Engler, with Fred J. Jungman commanding.
Edward B. Claussen was born April 17, 1892, on a farm three miles north of Emmet. His parents were Peter and Wilhelmina Brazwitz Claussen who came to this country from Germany and were early settlers in Holt County. He was married at Neligh January 7, 1921, to Margaret A. Dierks, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Dierks of Atkinson, and they became the parents of five children.
Mr. Claussen was an active member of the Presbyterian Church in Atkinson and Farley-Tushla Post No. 86, American Legion.

(Lorraine) Oliver of North Hylands (Laguna Beach), Calif., Mrs. Donald (Regina) Williamson of Laguna Beach, Calif., LaVerne of Atkinson, Harold Gene of Burlington, la., and Kenneth, at home; four grandchildren; five brothers, Heinie of O'Neill, John of Los Angeles, Calif., William of O'Neill, Otto of Engelwood, Calif., and Rudy of Atkinson; one sister, Mrs. Mary Lewis of Atkinson.
