Another highly respected and beloved pioneer citizen of Carroll county has been called to his reward after a brief illness of but a few days. Ripe in years and after a useful life he answered the call to his reward.

Timm Anthony was born in Ditmarschen, Holstein Germany, on the 12th day of July, in 1850. After spending his boyhood days in his native country where he was baptized, educated and confirmed in the Lutheran faith, preparing for the future, he decided to come to America and follow the path of many who had left the old home and made good in the far-off land. At the age of 18 he crossed the ocean and settled in Davenport, Iowa. His first work was in the brick-yards in Davenport and later operated a dray line. He worked at his trade in Davenport for six years, when he decided to go west and, if possible, become a farmer.

He ventured to West Side, Iowa, where he engaged in breaking prairie during the season and in the winter operated a dray line. After becoming thoroughly familiar with the land and people, he purchased a fine farm in 1878, in section 7 in Washington township, a mile and a half east of the Five Mile House. On this old home place Mr. and Mrs. Anthony toiled for 29 years. In 1907, they purchased a 40-acre farm in section 8, a half a mile east, where they lived until 1927, when they retired from active farm life and moved to Manning.

In 1878 on July 12, Mr. Anthony was united in marriage to Miss Catherine Hinrichs, to which union five children were born, of whom one daughter, Emelia, passed away in infancy, and another daughter Anna, Mrs. Henry Hagge passed away in 1922. Those surviving besides the bereaved wife and mother, are one son, John Anthony of West Side, Iowa, and two daughters, Mary, Mrs. James Mundt of Manning, and Lena, Mrs. Louie Thiedemann of West Side. He also leaves 11 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, many other relatives and a host of friends.

lt can be truthfully said of Mr. Anthony that he was a man of the true pioneer type. He worked hard, early and late in his days, but which due consideration to his fellow men. He took an active interest in the up-building of this community and it was men such as he who were responsible for the changing of this country from its virgin state to a highly productive country as it is today. He took an active interest in all public affairs. He was a kind husband and father, a good provider for his family and a loyal neighbor and friend. May his life in the Great Beyond be all that a human soul could possibly desire.

The funeral Services were held Wednesday afternoon, March 28, 1934 at 2:00 o'clock in the Lutheran church and were largely attended. The Rev. J. M. Ansorge officiated. Interment was made at the Hays township cemetery.

As pall bearers acted 4 grandsons: Irwin Thiedemann, Vernon Anthony, Reynold Hagge, Melvin Hagge; and two grandsons-in-law, Everett Dau and Leonard Schoessler.

Mr. Timm Anthony was born in Ditmarschen, Holstein Germany on July 12, 1850. His birthplace is a fair sized village, located in the southwest part of Holstein in Kreis Suederditmarschen, in the loop where the Altona-Itzehoe Marne railroad crosses the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal. Mr. Anthomy grew to young manhood in that community, received his education and at the age of 18 years felt a longing to see the world and came to America.

He located in Davemport, Iowa, where many of his countrymen were at that time, and established a dray line and was also engaged in the brick and tile work in the Davenport brick yards. This work he kept up for six years, alter which he desired to become independent and start out in life for himself. Looking for a good farming community, he came to West Side, where, in a cautious way, decided to become familiar with land and people, started breaking prairie in the season and operated a dray line in West Side in the winter. After being engaged in this manner for 3 years, 1875 to 1878, he purchased a fine 120 acres of land five miles south and a half mile east of West Side on the county line in Carroll Co., or a mile and a half east of the Five Mile House, on which place they farmed for 29 years.

In 1878, on July 12, Mr. Anthony was united in marriage to Miss Catharine Henrichs, to which union 5 children were born, of whom one daughter, Emelia, passed away in infancy and another daughter, Anna, Mrs. Henry Hagge Jr., passed away in the prime of her life in 1922. Those living and enjoying the love of their parents are: Mary. Mrs. James Mundt of Manning, who is residing on East Second street, a neighbor to the parents; John of West Side, residing on the old home place, and Lena, Mrs. Louie Thiedeman of West Side. They also have 19, grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and a host of friends.
