Hans Goettsch, Obituary, 1902.
At his home, 1008 West Ninth Street, at 9 o'clock this morning after a brief illness due to the natural decadence of old age, occurred the death of Hans Goettsch, father of Patrol Driver, Henry Goettsch, in the 77th year and 27th day of his age. The deceased was born in Probstei, Germany and came here in 1861, with his wife and family. A year ago last spring the deceased celebrated his golden wedding. His wife passed away Sept. 22 of this year. Seven sons survive, viz: Henry, the patrol driver, Jochim, Julius, William, Ernst, John and Herman Goettsch, all of this city. The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late residence with interment at Fairmount Cemetery.
The Davenport Democrat, 10 Nov 1902.
(*note: his tombstone has a birthdate of the 14th, but his birth records in Germany says the 7th. This is corroborated with his marriage record and records of his first two children. The only thing I can think of is maybe his family confused the date.)
