HENRY GOSKER PASSES AWAY AT 59 YEARS

Henry Gosker, aged 59 years, 6 months and 17 days, passed away Tuesday, March 4, 1941 in a Fremont hospital where he had been taken on Friday, February 28th.

He was a native of this county, having been born and reared on a farm in the Vacoma neighborhood. His early education was in the Johnson school district where his parents resided and where he grew to manhood.

At the age of 25 years he was married to Miss Bertha Fischer of the same neighborhood, and they at once went to farming on the farm where he lived thirty five years and where he died.

Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Gosker, one of them dying in infancy. A son, Walter, and the wife remain to mourn their great loss of a loving husband and father.

He suffered a series of paralytic strokes from which he never recovered and which caused his death. A man scrupulously honest and a friend to everyone, a great worker in his church, he will be missed by the entire community.

Funeral rites were held in his church at Vacoma last Saturday, and interment was made in the cemetery known as the St. John’s cemetery in connection with the church.

He leaves besides his wife and son one brother and one sister besides numerous other relatives and friends.

The pallbearers were all nephews, Herman Miller, Delmar Gosker, Robert Petersen, Oburt Gosker, Robert Fischer and Chris Ruwe.
