Passing of John Jacob Bauer
Jacob Bauer, Sr., head of one of the oldest and most respected German families of the county, died Sunday, March 19, 1905, at 4 p.m. at the age of 58 years, at the family residence on West College Hill, after a lingering complicated illness of three years standing which had
seriously developed in the past two weeks, the end being hastened by consumption.
Funeral occurred from the residence Monday afternoon at 2 p.m., a short service being given at the home before the long funeral cortege passed to the German Congregational church where Rev. Stahl, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Egerland, conducted the last solemn rites. Anthems were rendered by a choir consisting of Fred Weiand, Hannah and Minnie Spanjer and Theresa
Kalkwarf. The body was interred in the Spanjer cemetery north of town.
John Jacob Bauer was born in Russia in 1846, crossing the ocean to the new America in 1878, first finding a home in Nebraska. In 1883, with the westward trend of immigration, the family went to Walla Walla, arriving in Adams county the following year, where they homesteaded a choice piece of land three and one-half miles southeast of town, becoming wealthy during the
continuous seasons of large crops, and adding largely to land holdings.
Two years ago a palatial residence was erected in the city on West College Hill where the family has since resided. In 1864 he was married to Anna Marie Koch and they have raised five children, all of whom are residents of this county. They are Peter, Henry, Lydia E., Wilhelmina
and Mrs. Maria Johnson.
The deceased was eminently respected, being a man of considerable business ability, a hard working, persevering, honest farmer, to whom the fruits of labor came late in life, but who has left the impress of his character on his family as a loveable husband, and kind and generous
father.
