C. C. VanDeusen Died Suddenly
Rites For Prominent Resident Will Be Held On Friday
Claude C. VanDeusen, resident of Blair for the past 59 years and a prominent figure in civic enterprises throughout his lifetime, died at his home on West Davis avenue, Tuesday morning, July 18th, at 6:45 o'clock following a heart attack. For years Mr. VanDeusen had been a sufferer from diabetes and heart disease and in 1930 he spent several months in the Veterans hospital in Lincoln. On the Wednesday preceding his death he suffered a heart attack while down town and his condition gradually became weaker.
Born at Beverly, Washington County, Ohio, February 20, 1869, Mr. Van Deusen came to Washington county, Nebraska, with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Garret S. Van Deusen, when almost five years of age, settling on a farm on the Papio, five miles west of Blair. He grew to manhood there, attending the Brewster school. Later he attended college at Shenandoah, Iowa, and Fremont Normal.
Mr. VanDeusen went into partnership with the late Dr. W. H. Pruner, Sr., in the drug business at Kennard, but when his parents moved to Blair he went on the old farm, in the spring of 1901, shortly after his marriage to Miss Josie McMurtrie on December 19, 1900.
Mr. VanDeusen was always intensely patriotic and was one of the first to enlist in the Spanish-American war, on May 10, 1898, with Co. L of the Second Nebraska, under Col. Stotsenberg. When Co. E of the Third Nebraska was formed and his brother, Don C. VanDeusen, was made commander, he was transferred to the Third, then in command of Col. W. J. Bryan, who signed his discharge papers.
Always interested in politics, Mr. VanDeusen served many times as county chairman of the Democratic party and was twice elected to the state house of rep-
