Former Citizen This Section Dies at Temple

The body of this estimable lady. was brought through the country to Weimar to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Brandes, near town, and from there was carried Saturday afternoon to the Weimar Masonic Cemetery for interment, Rev. Piepenbrok, Lutheran minister, officiating. A large crowd of mourning relatives and friends was present to pay the last sad tribute of respect to this worthy lady, who for so many years was a resident of this section.

Active pall bearers for the funeral were: Messrs. Albert Koehn, Chas. Rahlwes, Henry J. Laas, Ed Rabel, Weimar; A. J. Greif, Poth, and R. L. Eschenburg, Floresville.

Mrs. Hasse was about 66 years of age at time of death. She was a lady of many estimable qualities, one whom to know was to esteem. She was a model wife and mother, neighbor and friend. During the long time she was a resident of this section, no one stood higher in the estimation of our people, and it was with exceeding and deep regret that she was given up to become resident of another community.

Ill health became her portion the latter part of her life, and as a last resort it was decided that an operation was imperative, but it failed of purpose and the spirit of this good lady was wafted unto her heavenly home above.

She is survived by her heart-broken husband and four children--Mrs. Aug. Laas of Poth, Mrs. Paul Brandes of Weimar, Mr. Walter Hasse of Poth and Mr. Eric Hasse of San Antonio., beside a large circle of relatives and friends, to, whom our heartfelt sympathy is extended.

Hasse, Theodor

Death of Mr. Theo. Hasse,

Many hearts were saddened throughout this community last Thursday when it became known that Mr. Theo. Hasse, a well known and popular farmer of the New Bielau section, was dead. Mr. Hasse had been in ill health for several years, but up to within a short time before his death, kept up and about. However, as disease fastened its tentacles upon him more and more, he was forced to give up and take to his bed. It was realized that he was a very sick man, and everything was done to alleviate his sufferings and restore him to good health. But it was without avail. The end came Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, and the following day at 4 p. m. the last remains of Mr. Hasse were interred in the. Masonic cemetery, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok, Lutheran pastor, officiating in a beautiful burial service, followed by the Hermann Soehne lodge, of which decedent was a member.

Theo. Hasse was good man in every sense of the term. He was a good father, a good husband, a good friend and a good neighbor. He was as gentle as a child, had no ill feeling toward any man, spoke only of the good traits of those with whom he came in contact, ever ready to aid and assist those who heeded help, and his entire life was one of good cheer to those about him. Wherever he visited, whether it was the home or business house, his presence brought such sunshine that he was always welcomed. Few men have ever lived in this community who were loved as he was. In his dealings with his fellow-man, he was the soul of honor, an upright, good, christian man, an honored and honorable citizen. None knew him but to admire his upright character, and his death is deeply and sincerely deplored by all.

Theo. Hasse was a son of the late Henry Hasse and wife. He was born in Fayette county Dec. 1, 1857; moved to the vicinity of Weimar with his parents in 1864, and lived near this place 47 years. Five years of his life were spent in Lavaca county. He married Miss Augusta Gerstenberger Jan. 4, 1887. The widow and six children, Henry, Mrs. Walter Kram, Ernest, and Misses Louise, Alwine and Leona, survive. Their eldest child died when 2 years old. The, living brothers of Mr. Hasse are as follows: Aug. Hasse of HaIletsville. Ad. Hasse of Floresville, Charles and Herman Hasse of Winters. Texas. His living sisters are Mrs. Henry Hoegemeyer of Yoakum. Mrs. Wm. Striebeck of Floresville, Mrs. Aug. Gerstenberger of Belton. Mrs. Henry Emken and Miss Mary Hasse of Tulare, California. He was a member of the Lutheran church and of the O. D. H. S. His father died when he was aged about 15, and his mother died in May, 1909.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved family, relatives and friends.
