The people of the surrounding community were shocked on Tuesday when they heard that Grover Horneck, a farmer residing in the town of Schleswig, had committed suicide by hanging himself in the barn at his home. His body was found at about nine o'clock that morning.
Mr. Horneck was born in the town of Rhine on Aug. 13, 1885, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred. Horneck. His marriage to Miss Anna Schmidt took place on Feb. 20, 1909, at which time the couple moved to New Holstein.
After a few years Mr. Horneck purchased a farm in Schwarzwald where the family lived for some years. After disposing of his property there he located in Schleswig, and was a resident in that town up to the present time. The survivors are his wife, one son and two daughters, at home; his father and stepmother of Plymouth; two brothers, Walter of Rhine Center and Norman of Sheboygan; three sisters, Mrs. Frieda Heidemann of Schleswig, Laura of Kiel, and Mrs. Anita Schierstedt of near Plymouth.
Funeral services will be held Friday from the farm home at 1:30 to the Rhine Center church. Rev. Thomas will be in charge.
