Also known as Franz. Husband of Mary Katharina Klausing.
Joseph Klausing Sr., died at 2 o'clock Sunday morning at his home east of the city, near the Auglaize river, in the 75th year of his life.
Like a shadow thrown softly and sweetly from a passing cloud, death fell upon him. Full of years filled with honest toil, at peace with all mankind, calmly and serenely he lived, and so he died. His faltering step in his old age, his temulous, kindly voice and his honest, open countenance all were the outward tokens of the peaceful soul within.
Death came suddenly to Mr. Klausing. He was in Delphos Saturday and attended the church of his faith, St. John's. He was a robust man and always enjoyed good health. While in church Saturday afternoon, he complained of not feeling well, but after being taken home he seemed better, but his wife concluded to sit up, as he was breathing heavily and she thought he might become worse. He finally prevailed upon her to lie down, but she was later awakened by his heavy breathing, and he expired almost immediately. His death was probably due to apoplexy. Mr. Klausing had been totally blind for about two years, but the love and respect for the husband and father lightened the burden imposed upon his dear ones by his affliction. He was highly respected by all who knew him, and especially in his neighborhood, where he was best known.
The deceased was born in Hartzog, Oldenburg, Germany, November 25, 1822. Leaving his native land he came to America at the age of 21, and settled in Cincinnati and worked at of blacksmithing, remaining there until 1879, when he came to Delphos and purchased 111 acres of land on the Auglaize river, 3.5 miles east of town. There he made his home until his death, Sunday morning. An aged wife, who passed her 73rd milestone, survives him with two children, Joseph Klausing Jr., of Landeck, and Mrs. John Seifker, who, with her husband and children, reside on the homestead. He also had ten grandchildren.
The obsequies will occur from St. John's church Tuesday morning at 8-10 o'clock. Burial in the East Side cemetery.
