MONROE EVENING TIMES
May 14, 1946
John Deininger, 86, lifelong resident of the Monroe area and prominent in community and county affairs, died at 11:30 last night in his home, 1728 15th St.
Mr. Deininger had appeared in excellent health, having mowed the lawn of his home yesterday morning. He suffered a slight heart spell yesterday afternoon, and last
night a severe recurrence caused his death.
Born March 28, 1860, in a log house in Monroe, he was the son of Michael and Rosina Kuhnle Deininger. He attended Richland school in the town of Jefferson, then engaging in farming.
On March 17, 1885, he married Emma Lanz in Monroe, and at that time took over management of his father's farm of 38 acres. With the exception of three years on a farm in Sylvester township, Mr. Deininger resided on the family farm in Jefferson, south of the Five Corners cheese factory, until 1915 when he retired and moved to Monroe to live.
Outstanding Farmer
During those years he increased his holdings from the original 38 acres to 375 acres of valuable land, utilizing progressive methods which marked him as one of the outstanding farmers of the county.
He served well in many civic capacities. For a number of years he was a member of the board of directors of the Jefferson and Clarno joint school district. From 1900-1911 he was chairman of the town of Jefferson, also serving on the Green county board. Later from 1917-1923, he represented the second ward of Monroe as alderman, going from that post to the office of second ward supervisor, which returned him to the county board.
Mr. Deininger was a director of the First National Bank, having served in similar capacity with the Citizens Bank prior to the merger in 1940. He had attended a directors' meeting only a week ago. He was president of the Green County Mutual Insurance Co. for 10 years, and was affiliated with St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church.
Wife Dies in Car Crash
The Deiningers celebrated their Golden wedding anniversary in 1935. Mrs. Deininger died Dec. 28, 1941 from injuries sustained in an apparently minor street corner collision in the city.
Ten Children Survive
Surviving are five sons, Ernest and Frank, Monroe, Alfred and John, Jefferson, and Walter, Joliet, Illinois; five daughters, Mrs. John Nyman, Mrs. Gertrude Myers and
Mrs. Herman D. Legler Monroe; Mrs. Walter Whitcomb and Miss Lena Deininger, who made their home with their father. There are 16 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and a sister, Mrs. Jacob Rufi, Monroe.
Besides his wife, one brother, George, and four sisters, Mrs. Barbara Miller, Mrs. Lena Miller, Mrs. Rose Holsapple and Mrs. Kate Donnell are deceased.
The body will remain in the Shriner - Neushwander funeral home until 10:38 Thursday morning when it will be taken to St. John's church, where funeral services will be conducted at 1:30 by Rev. Paul C. Kehle, pastor. Interment is to be in Greenwood cemetery.
