Death of Jurgen Petersen
Jurgen Petersen, who has resided for the past two years on the Albert Bolte farm three miles
northeast of Manning died Tuesday evening. He had been suffering for the past ten days
with that dread disease appendicitis, at times much better and then he would get worse, but
Tuesday morning he became much worse and died at 4:30 p.m.
Mr. Petersen is known for his many good qualities as a very kind friend and neighbor, always looking at the bright side of everything. He was born in Germany 43 years ago and has died in the prime of his life. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss. The remains will be interred in the Five Mile Cemetery (Hayes Township) today, Rev. Martens officiating. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing ones in this sad hour.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to extend our thanks to the kind friends and neighbors who so willingly gave us
their assistance during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father.
Mrs. Jurgen Petersen and Family.
I'm occasionally adding the actual scanned image of the obituary I make using my VERY expensive - large commercial scanner,
and/or also other articles about the deceased person that were published in the Manning Monitor.
I want to also comment about people who are taking my obituaries, pictures, and/or other articles about a person/family and posting them on other websites.
You do NOT have permission or the right to do this - you are stealing my historical work.
Buy your own scanning equipment, pay for memberships to other commercial websites,
and spend decades working on your local history like I have - then you'll understand why I'm making these comments!
Thank you for your attention to this matter - Dave Kusel
