On July 3 Henry Ketelsen, one of the well-known citizens of Lincoln Township, died aged 81 years, 1 month and 2 days. For some time he has been a sufferer of apoplexy. Rev. Guenther of the German Church,> preached the funeral after which the body was taken to Lincoln Center Cemetery where it was buried. The decease was making his home with his son-in-law, August Meier at the time of his death. Thus passes away a man who has done his part toward raising a family, and adding to the world's progress by living a good life. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of their many friends.
