Lessing, Joseph
JOS. LESSING, SR., BURIED AT COLUMBUS SATURDAY
In the death of Mr. Jos. Lessing, Sr., last Friday, Colorado county and this section in general lost one of its oldest and best citizens. The funeral took place at Columbus [Odd Fellows Rest] Saturday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. A. I. Townsley, Methodist minister. The funeral was largely attended, a number from this section going down in cars to be present.
Honorary pall bearers were John C. Lowrey, F. Auerbach, Sr., J. C. Obenhaus, F. C. Carroll of El Campo, Geo. McCain, P. B. Martin and J. J. Odom. Active pall bearers were F. Auerbach, Jr., Kenneth Brandon, Tom Luck, O. A. Zumwalt, E. B. Mayes and C. R. Grobe.
As stated above, Mr. Lessing was one of the oldest citizens of Colorado county. He had lived in Columbus for many years, and was known to every man, woman and child in the community, having a kindly greeting at all times for each and everyone. He was a quiet, good citizen, attentive to his own affairs, never meddling with others, but ever ready to do a good turn for anyone needing help. "Uncle Joe," as he was familiarly termed, will be greatly missed in the community where he had lived for so long a time.
His only son, Dr. Joe F. Lessing of Schulenburg, and other relatives and friends have our sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
