Henry Zahn was born March 7, 1865, in Baden, Germany, where he was instructed in the Lutheran faith and grew to manhood. When he was twenty years of age, he emigrated to this country and first located at Groveland, Illinois, being employed on a farm. After three years sojourn there, he came to Iowa and established a home in O'Brien County, about five miles northwest of Hartley, where his earthly pilgrimage came to a sudden end, September 10, 1924 at the age of 59 years, 6 months, and 3 days.
On March 9, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Fluck. To this union five children were born to bless their home.
Three words have always fitted into this life. They were sincerity, honesty, and industriousness. With these he provided a comfortable home, and endeavored to give his children a good education.
He leaves to mourn his sudden demise his sorrow-stricken companion, five children, Mrs. Helen Siewert, Mrs. Matilda Siewert, both of Slayton, Minnesota, William, Elizabeth and Leonard, at home, three grandchildren, three sisters and other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the home Saturday, the 13th, in charge of Rev. J.J. Braun. Rev. J.H. Siewert, preached the sermon from the text of Hebrews 11:10. Burial took place in Hartley Cemetery.
