John Herman Grotelueschen, aged 80 years, 4 months and 29 days, died Sunday at his home, north of Richland, in Colfax county. Mr. Grotelueschen was born in Oldenburg, Germany, August 16, 1830. He resided there until he grew to manhood and was married before he came to America, which was in 1859, when he settled in Wisconsin. He made that state his home for ten years and then decided to go further west, locating on his homestead in Colfax County in 1869. This has since been his home and it was here he spent the last years of his life. Besides his wife, nine children, six daughters and three sons, Mrs. Herman Loseke, Mrs. Wm. Lueke, Mrs. Louis Held, Mrs. Louis Sander, Mrs. John Held, Mrs. D. Kluck, and Louis, August and Carl Grotelueschen, all residents of this locality, survive him. Funeral services were held Tuesday at St. John's Lutheran church, on Shell creek, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mueller, and burial was in the cemetery at the church.
