Thursday morning July 12, 1900 brother Emil Plamann bade farewell to earthly scenes. Saturday p.m. his many friends and relatives assembled at Immanuel's Lutheran Church, of which he was a member, to take a final leave of his remains. This sad even was rendered doubly sad by the fact that the life that had brought sunshine to his parents, June 7, 1868, and that had since cheered their hearts and the heart of his wife and others was so soon taken away. But "the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed by the name of the Lord." "Whether we live or die, we are the Lord's". This the parents recognized when in early infancy they consecrated their child to Him in Holy Baptism and this he himself did not forget when in after life he renewed the covenant through confirmation. When a child of three months his parents emigrated from Schoenwalden, Pomerania, the place of his birth, and coming to this country, settled in Wisconsin, where they lived for nearly five years, when they came to Kansas. On the 27th of April, 1893, Miss Anna Mellenbruch promised, in the presence of relatives and friends at Immanuel's Church to share his joys and sorrows, to whom he proved a devoted husband. They lived on a farm, four miles southeast of Fairview, really blessed temporally and spiritually until he became a victim of tuberculosis, from which he suffered for some months before being released from his earthly tenement to be home, as we believe, by the angels into Abraham's bosom.

He leaves a wife, three children, his parents, two brothers, five sisters and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
