JOHN AMMANN, SR., DEAD
Well Known Citizen Passes Away at Family Residence Last Thursday
Many hearts throughout this section were grieved Thursday morning of Iast week when the news was flashed about town that John A. Ammann, Sr., was dead. Mr. Ammann had been ill but a few days and even news of his illness was not generally known. Mr. Ammann was a victim of some form of heart trouble and when he was stricken a few days ago family, physician and nearby friends realized that it was a serious matter. Everything possible was done for him, but it proved of no avail, and this good man himself seemed to realize more than those around him that his time had come. He was conscious almost to the very last, and, after realizing that there was no hope, summoned family around him, talked to them of what he wanted done, and "fell asleep in Jesus."
Funeral arrangements were made and the body tenderly laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Rev. G. T. Hester, Methodist pastor, officiating in a touching burial service. An exceedingly large crowd was present at the funeral, attesting the popularity and esteem in which this truly good man was held by everybody. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.
John A. Ammann, Sr., was born March 27, 1859, at LaGrange. He spent the early part of his life in the town of LaGrange. He was married to Miss May Quin in 1885. He lived a few years near Ammannsville, then near Weimar, and at the time of his death was living at the family home in the town of Weimar. Mr. Ammann joined the Methodist Church in early married life, having been converted during a revival meeting held at the Methodist Church in this city by the late Rev. Joe Jones, evangelist.
His first attack came upon him the Saturday preceding his death; the second came Sunday morning while he was sitting in a chair at home reading his Bible. Mr. Ammann leaves surviving him his widow and four sons -- Everett, John, Charles and Will P. Ammann, all respected business men and citizens of this section.
The active pall bearers were Jno. C. Hubbard, Ben B. Holt, Ed Rabel, Alfred Reissner, Emil Fahrenthold and J. J. Armstrong Jr. Honorary pall bearers were W. A. VanAlstyne, John H. VanAlstyne, Will R. Miller, Geo. Herder, Sr., Tom. Dent, T. A. Hill, John H. Brooks, Dr. C. G. Cook, Rufus Reynolds, S. D. Tooke, Louis Hillje, and J. J. Armstrong Sr.
In the death of Mr. Ammann our community has lost one of its best citizens. He was in deed and truth a truly good man, respected and beloved by all. A man of quiet, unassuming disposition, only those closely associated with him realized the depth of character this good man possessed. His kindly deeds were numerous, but never paraded before the public, being content to keep same within himself and his beloved Master. He was a friend that could be trusted under any and all circumstances and no man ever possessed a truer friend than John Ammann. In all ways he was one of the best men the writer ever knew. His death has caused an aching void in many hearts throughout this section, where his lifetime had been spent and whose people were near and dear to him. To the bereaved family the heartfelt sympathy of the Mercury is extended. God be with and comfort them as He alone can.
