C. BADJE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY
Carl Badje was born in Germany December 22, 1858, and passed away in his home in Titonka on February 11, 1943, aged 84 years, 1 month and 20 days. He came to the United States when about twenty-one years of age, settling first in Grundy county and later moving to this neighborhood where he farmed for a number of years northwest of town. He moved to the town of Titonka twenty-five years ago and made his home here until the present time.
His wife, Catherine Bertha Mayers [Meier], preceded him in death two and one-half years ago.
Mr. Badje was very active for a man of his age, and has enjoyed reasonably good health in recent years, though from time to time has complained of spells of dizziness. It is probable that he was subjected to one of these attacks on Thursday, for he was found dead on the kitchen floor of his home at five o'clock on the afternoon of that day by a friend, Mr. Amos Krominga, who had gone to call on him. He appeared to be quite well on the morning of the day of his death.
He is survived by two sons, John Badje of Rake and Peter Badje of Dike; two daughters, Mrs. Millie Phelps of Pamona, Calif., and Mrs. Mary Snittjer of Wellsburg; two step-daughters, Mrs. Pauline Cox of Dike and Mrs. Ella Gutknecht of Cedar Falls; one brother, Peter Badje of Lyons, Nebraska; twenty-three grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
Services were held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church after brief services at the Badje home. The Rev. Wm. L. Patterson, pastor of the Methodist church, officiated.
Rev. Patterson and Wilbur Schram sang three selections. Mrs. Wm. Schram was the accompanist. The pallbearers were Fred Stecker, Bruno Stecker, John Isebrand, Folkert Stecker, B. U. Meyer and Fred Anderson. Burial was at Lakota.
