Platte Center - Obituary.
Frederick Blessen passed away Sunday July 27, at his home three miles southeast of Platte Center at the age of 52 years, 2 months and 27 days. He had been in failing health for the past two years but no one suspected that the end was so near as he was able to be out in the yard the previous day. Mr. Blessen was born in Germany and came to this country in 1884. In 1896 he was united in marriage with Miss
Minnie Myer, who, with three sons, William, George and Chris, is left to mourn his departure from this life. He is also survived by a brother[*], who resides in St. Louis. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Baptist church in Platte Center, and burial was made in the cemetery southeast of town. The sympathy of the community is extended the bereaved family in their hour of sorrow.
[*Note: At the time of Frederick's death, his brother Henry Gerhard Blessen was living in Crowley, Acadia Parish, Louisiana. Memorial # for Henry is 19897119.]
