He is survived by three sons, John, Henry, and Chester, all of Jefferson Township, and three daughters, Mrs. Frank Myers of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Herman Fuelling of Monroeville, and Mrs. Jacob Giant of Jefferson Township, at whose home he received his last days of tender childish care and parental affection, such as every parent should receive from children in their declining years of earthly career and last moments of breath on this earth. One by one those who have withstood the privations and strifes of early pioneer days, assisted in clearing up the forests and watched the clearing away of the dense wilderness, and forests fall at the pioneer woodsman’s ax and brush scythe, and year after year drift into the present farms and beautiful homes, as has our old departed pioneer, Louis C. Gerardot, whose body now rests in peace in a tomb beneath the sod in the quiet city of the dead.
The funeral services were held at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, August 27, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jacob Giant, and at 9:30 o’clock at the St. Louis Catholic Church at Besancon, Rev. Father Allgeier officiating. Interment was made in I.O.O.F. Cemetery in New Haven, Ind., to which city of the dead the remains were followed by a large cortege of relatives, friends, and old acquaintances.
