John C. Kohl, 76, Nasonville, whose reminiscences of pioneer days in the vicinity of Marshfield were published serially in the News-Herald in January, 1931, is dead as the result of pulmonary embolism.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at the family residence and in St. John's Lutheran church, Nasonville. Burial will be made in the family lot in the parish cemetery. The Rev. A. G. Diemer will officiate.
Mr. Kohl was born Sept. 20, 1855, in Kohlsville, Washington county, a community founded by his grandfather in 1842. He grew to manhood in that vicinity, and in 1877 came to Marshfield, at that time a railroad station and trading post, with a log hotel, a post office, a school, several stores and saloons, and a few dwelling houses.
He obtained employment in Mannville, which was considerably larger than Marshfield at that time, and later hired out to work for the late John Rausch, one of the early settlers in what is now the town of Rock. Eventually he purchased 160 acres of land just north of the Rausch farm, now included in the town of Lincoln. Half of this tract, which he bought for $8 an acre, he reserved for his father, and the other 80 acres he developed into a modern dairy farm, on which he continued to make his home the rest of his life.
In October, 1879, he was married to Miss Anna Behling of Neillsville, a native of Germany, who came to America in 1875, and who survives her husband. Two of their five children preceded him in death: Mrs. Elsbeth Carlson, in 1924, and William J. Kohl, who was killed by a falling tree in December, 1927. His widow, Mrs. Marie Kohl, and children reside In Nasonville.
Surviving children are Edwin Phillips Kohl, New York City, and Leo H. Kohl, Harrisburg, Pa., and Mrs. Maurice Van de Bogart (Emma), Sullivan Hill, B. C. The two sons arrived here this morning, the Pennsylvania train speeding up 10 minutes and the Soo Line train waiting 10 minutes in Chicago to permit them to make connections.
Other surviving relatives are two brothers, Andrew of Marshfield and Phillip of the town of Rock, and a sister, Mrs. Adam Schmidt of Campbellsport, besides several grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews.

Nasonville, Feb. 11 — (Special) — Farewell tribute to the memory of John Kohl, 76, resident in this community since 1877, was paid by relatives, neighbors, and other friends Wednesday afternoon at services held in St. John's Lutheran church, which Mr. Kohl helped build and the site of which he helped select.
The Rev. A. G. Diemer, local pastor, officiated at the rites, which included two sermons, one English and the other German. He also presented the life history of Mr. Kohl, bringing out the fact that he was one of the early settlers here and that he held offices of trust and responsibility in the community, where his judgment in matters of public interest was widely respected.
Several hymns were sung by the congregation, and the church choir sang "Till We Meet Again." The many beautiful floral tokens of sympathy were in charge of Mrs. William Voigt, Mrs. Walter Dohm, Mrs. Phillip Kohl, jr., Mrs. Albert Knorr, Mrs. Fred Fritz, and Mrs. Carl Luedtke, the latter of Marshfield.
Pallbearers included John Spuhler, Herman Steltenpohl, Ferdinand Riedel, Charles Dix,. William Voigt, and August Seehafer, sr. Burial was made in the family lot in the parish cemetery.
Out-of-town relatives who arrived for the occasion were: Adam Schmidt, Campbellsport; Mrs. John Auclaire and daughter of Antigo; Adam Kohl, Kohlsville; Carl Endlich, West Bend; Theodore, William, and Paul Kohl, Wausau, and a number from Marshfield.
Mr. Kohl, whose reminiscences of early days in Nasonville and vicinity were published serially in the Marshfield News-Herald a year ago and later in pamphlet form, was born Sept. 20, 1855, in Kohlsville, and came here as a young man. He was married Oct. 26, 1879, to Miss Anna Behling of Neillsville, who survives him.
Eight children were born to them, three of whom, Louise, Ida, and Amanda, died in infancy. Another daughter, Mrs. Elsbeth Carlson, died August 20, 1924, and a son, William was killed by a falling tree Dec. 21, 1927. Surviving are two sons, Edwin of New York City and Leo of Harrisburg, Pa., and a daughter, Mrs. Maurice Van de Bogart (Emma) of Sullivan Hill, B. C.
He also leaves two brothers, Andrew of Marshfield and Phillip of Nasonville; a sister, Mrs. Adam Schmidt of Campbellsport, and 10 grandchildren.
Mrs. Kohl has been confined to her bed since Nov. 20, when a heavy wind damaged trees and windows at the Kohl home, and was unable to attend the services. Mrs. Kohl also mourns the death of her twin brother, Gustav Behling of Chicago, who died Jan. 28.
