Herman A. Jandt, widely known and sincerely respected throughout northern Illinois where he was a leading figure in agricultural circles, died suddenly at his home in Hinckley Monday. Mr. Jandt had retired as usual Sunday night to be found in his bed next morning in death as peaceful as in sleep.
Mr. Jandt’s mother preceded him in death by only a little more than a year, passing away on her one hundredth birthday last year in March.
Herman A. Jandt, son of Fredrick and Bertha Thurow Jandt was born in the province of Pomerani, Germany, February 9, 1878, and entered rest September 9, 1946 at Hinckley, aged 68 years, 7 months. His family came to America in 1892 and settled at Plano. A little later, Mr. Jandt came to the Hinckley community engaging in farming. He was industrious and progressive and made a success in his agricultural activities, being highly respected for his good judgment.
February 25, 1903, he found in Anna Dienst a partner for life’s journey and shared the years with her in exemplary harmony.
Four children came to bless the union, who, with his wife, survive, Irvin and Stanley of Hinckley, Howard and Mrs. Hazel Weiherman of Aurora; eight grandchildren, two brothers, Albert and Frank, both of Aurora, and three sisters, Mrs. Minnie Thurow and Mrs. Annie Quinsey of Yorkville and Mrs. Amelia Klotz of Sandwich, also mourn his departure.
Mr. Jandt held positions of honor and trust in his church and in the Hinckley Grain Company, of which he was, for years, a member of the board of directors.
He not only endorsed, but gave unstintingly of his time to bring to successful culmination the organization of the Farm Bureau and the pure Milk Association, of which latter, he was for many years a member of the board of directors. He was also for many years a member of the board of trustees of the township schools.
He not only helped his fellow farmers through his work in their organizations, but was always ready to go to the aid of any who needed help. Many a time he left his own work to do that of a neighbor, asking no reward but good will, which he had in abundance.
His life is an eloquent testimony to the fact that not the length of our sojourn spells achievement, but rather that consecration and sustained effort bring success.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the St. Paul’ Evangelical Church, the Rev. L. G. Weber, officiating. Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery.
