"Casper Theisen, father of Mrs. C. Schueth, of this place, died at the home of his daughter in Humphrey last Monday evening about 5:30 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in St. Mary's (St. Michaels) Church cemetery at West Point Wednesday, Rev. Ruesing officiating. The deceased was but slightly acquainted in Humphrey, although he was a resident of this place for the past 18 months. We understand the real cause of his death was old age. Mr. Theisen was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1823. In 1851 he was married, his wife dying in West Point this state in 1892. In 1855 Mr. Theisen and his wife and one child, now Mrs. Chas. Schueth of this place, came to America and located in Wisconsin where they remained following the occupation of farming, until 1874 they moved to Nebraska, settling on a farm near Scribner. Since the death of his wife, Mr. Theisen has made his home with his children, the last 18 months of which time he spent with his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Schueth of Humphrey. Seven children, three girls and three boys survive him. They are, Mrs. Chas. Schueth, of this place, Mrs. Hoffman of West Point, John and Peter of West Point, Herman of Oklahoma, and Mrs. Mary Winemann (sic) of Wyoming."
