Middle name: Rudolph or Reuben?
John Rudolph Otto Trapp, son of Delman and Pauline Trapp, was born November 26, 1879 in Gibson Township, near Mishicott, Wisc. From there, he came while still an infant, with his parents to the Milbank community in S. D. In this community, he grew to manhood.
In the year 1904, March 16, he was united in marriage with Mary Moser also of Milbank. Four children came to bless this home, namely; Earl. Ethel, Lyle and Myles.
In 1905, he came to the Marion community where he engaged in farming until 1912, when he, with his family moved to Marion and started in the Hardwar and Implement business, which he operated until the time of his death. He was also agent for the Evangelical Mutual Insurance Company for about the same length of time.
He was a member of the Evangelical United Brethren Church. Converted at an early age, he remained true through the years. He was a loyal and active member, holding places of responsibility in the church, such as trustee, class-leader, and served in the Sunday School for 52 consecutive years. He began at the age of 18 as a teacher and from that time on, was never without responsibility. At the time of his death, he was assistant teacher of the adult Bible class.
The end came very unexpectedly. Though Mr. Trapp had not been well for some time, the seriousness of his condition was not known, because of his perseverence in carrying on his daily duties. He passed to his eternal reward on Sunday, May 15 at 8:30 a.m. at Mercy Hospital in Valley City, having reached the age of 69 years, 6 months, and 19 days. He leaves to mourn his passing: his devoted wife, three sons, Earl, Lyle, Myles; one daughter, Ethel, all of Marion; three brothers: Ernest, Spokane, Wn., Acy and Clarence, Marion, one sister, Cora, (Mrs. Leo Draheim) also of Marion, five grandchildren and many other relatives as well as a host of friends. Preceding him in death were his parents, mr. and Mrs. D. C. Trapp, and two sisters, Ella and Lillie, Mrs. Joseph Liebing and Mrs. Aaron Wendland, respectively.
Funeral services were conducted on Thursday from the Evan. U. B. Church with Rev. M. Kaseman officiating. Music consisted of two duets, "I'll Trust in God, and "Sometime, We'll Understand," by Orlando Draheim and Mrs. Andy Ridgeway. Mr. Draheim sang a solo, "I Will Pilot Thee." Mrs. Douglas Bruschwein was organist.
Active pallbearers were the Messrs. Art Leistikow, Aaron Boom, Elmer Pinke, Howard Piehl, Ervin Ketterling, Ralph Korn. Honorary members were: J. C. and C. A. Arduser, K. A. Bakke, Nome, Nick Schommer, C. E. Fritch and Louis Trieble.
The beautiful floral sprays and the numerous memorial gifts were mute testimony to the high esteem in which Mr. Trapp was held. A kind and considerate husband and father, a compassionate friend, his passing leaves a great void.
