Mr. Kleine Dead
Another honored and loved old citizen passed away this morning at 6:30 o'clock-Mr. John William August Kleine, aged 69 years, 1 month and 2 days. His death was not unexpected as he has been in bad health for over a year. Recently, however, he has been some better and was able to be around some. Last night he was not so well, but seemed easier later in the night. This morning early he got up and was sitting in his chair when his life passed out peasefully and quickly.
The funeral services will be held Thursday evening at 4 o'clock at the family residence, after which the remains will be escorted to the Odd Fellows cemetery and laid to rest according to the ceremony of that order.
Mr. Kleine was born in Ziesar, Prussia. He sailed for America in 1854 with a younger brother, the latter part of that year reached Gonzales and it has been his home ever since. He followed the trade of cabinet maker until the outbreak of the civil war when he espoused the cause of the South and I listed in Cook's Heavy Artilleryand served to the end of the war. At the close he returned to Gonzales and engaged in the furniture business, which is now being conducted by his third son, Mr. William Kleine.
Mr. Kleine was an honorable citizen and was ever ready to help out in any cause that looked to the advancement of the town or county.
As a man he was chivalrous, generous and always had a kind word or a helping hand for all. His life was one of true nobility, helpful and honest living, and there are none that do not honor his memory or feel a deep sorrow over his death. A better man than Mr. Kleine never loved.
He leaves three sons and quite a number of other relatives to mourn his loss.
