| MKI Annotation | [From: http://www.2manitowoc.com/04/NHTobits.html]: The sorrowful news was heralded about the village this Friday morning that Hermuth Voss had died at 6:35 o’clock at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Voss from a wound that he received while fighting for his country in the battle of France. Hermuth Voss was born in the town of Rantoul on May 5, 1896, and came with his parents here about seven years ago. He attended the public school and also took a course in a business college at Milwaukee. He was employed by A. W. Freund & Co. and also the Geo. L. Leverenz Co. and answered the call of his country while employed in the latter store in the fall of 1897. After having secured training in various camps in the United State he wastransported with his company, the 58 infantry to France. After seeing two months of active service he was wounded in the head at the battle at France and was taken to a base hospital and later spent several months at hospitals here until his discharge in January of last year and returned to his home here and has since secured occasional occupation. He complained occasionally of slight headaches and lately noticed that the wound was troublesome. Just last Monday he returned from Collins where he had assisted his brother John taking inventory. On Wednesday he became ill and medical aid was summoned, but his illness became so severe that even though every possible effort was made to relieve his suffering, the end came early this morning. He was a young man of exceptional cheerful disposition and had a scope of friends who will miss him from their midst. He is survived by his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Voss, five brothers, William, Amherst; John, Collins; Gustav, Colby; George, Sherwood; Edward at home; three sisters; Mrs. Joach Behnke, Rantoul; Mrs. E. J. Falk, Adell and Ida at home. Even though all the family was at Hermuth’s bedside when death came they were not prepared for this sorrowful gathering as they had all come home to assist their parents in celebrating such a rare event as their golden wedding anniversary which is today. The funeral will be held from the residence Monday afternoon and the remains will be interred in the local cemetery. The pastor of the Lutheran church of which the deceased was a member, will officiate. New Holstein Reporter, January 16, 1920 |
