In Loving Memory of Martin U Rosendahl:
Another Sudden Death.
This community was painfully surprised to learn on Monday morning that Martin Rosendahl had suddenly passed away the night before. Mr. Rosendahl had been ill for sometime with Bright's Disease and all winter had been confined to his home but was getting along so well lately that he began thinking of coming to town some day in the near future. On Sunday evening he ate a hearty supper and played checkers with members of his household before retiring to bed. After going to bed he felt thirsty and arose and got a drink. As he was walking back to bed he fell to the floor and expired before his wife could summon her brother Jacob Fastenau from his bedroom upstairs.
Martin Ubben Rosendahl was born in Spitzerfehn, Kerchsptel, Strackholt, Ostfriesland, Germany, on the 17th day of November, 1841, and died as stated above at his home two and a half miles east of Rutland, Ill., on March 9, 1913, at the age of 71 years, four months, and two days. At the proper age he was confirmed in the Lutheran Church at Weene, Ostfriesland, Germany; he had also been baptized into the Christian Faith in Germany as well. In 1861 he was united in marriage to Miss Helena Ubbina Fastenau. To this union were born eight children, of whom two died in infancy and those remaining are: Ubbe of Chatsworth, Ill., Herman of Pocahontas, IA, Andrew, Martin, and Mrs. Tjeda (Jane) Schoon of knierim, IA, and George W. Rosendahl of Flanagan, Ill.
In May of 1868, the deceased emigrated to the United States and landed at Minonk, Ill. From there he went to Eureka whither his wife and two children followed him a year later. For fifteen years they resided at Eureka, and in 1883 removed to a farm in Marshall County, Ill., three and a half miles northwest of Minonk, Ill. At this place Mrs. Rosendahl died on Aug. 10, 1892, and the next spring the family moved to Ogle County, Ill. On Aug. 2, 1893, Mr. Rosendahl was again united in marriage to Miss Tjeda Fastenau- his first wife's sister, who, with the children and twenty-seven grandchildren, is left to morun the loss of a loving and devoted husband and father. In the spring of 1894, the deceased moved to the farm that has since been the family home, east of Rutland, Ill., and where his death occurred.
Mr. Rosendahl was a man of cheerful and genial dispostion, of strict integrity of character and was held in high esteem as a neighbor and friend by all who knew him. In his death our community has lost a worthy and valued citizen. The funeral services were held this morning, a short service at the house at 10:30 A.M. followed by services at 12:00 P.M. at the German Lutheran Church in Rutland, Ill., where he had long been a regular and faithful attendant. Rev. Schimdt, the pastor, was in charge of the service, following which the remains were conveyed to Minonk for interment beside those of his deceased wife.
