Posted by Natalie McLain -- Das Wochenblatt Supplement on 17 August Karl Caletka passed away today at nine o'clock at his home in the Neu Buerger settlement. He had been ill for a number of years. According to the doctor he was suffering from high blood pressure. His passing away was therefore not totally unexpected, even though he was not yet an old man. He worked hard all his life and managed to become well-off so that he could easily have retired. Unfortunately he never managed to find his deserved rest and suffered badly in recent times. As both the doctor's treatment and the best nursing could not bring him relief, one can say that his death has brought him relief. He was born in Cat Spring on 10 January 1869, was raised here and married Miss Auguste Michaelis in 1894. The couple have since lived on the farm. He leaves behind his grieving wife, a daughter, Mrs. Hertha Renz, Eagle Lake, and a son Alfred Caletka, Cat Spring, and many relatives and friends. His funeral took place on the Nicholai Cemetary, the service being held by Pastor Bengston from Sealy. The funeral service was led by the members of the S.P.J.S.T. lodge. My condolences to all the bereaved. H.A.Strauss Posted by Natalie McLain |
