Editorial – Death of
Frederick G. Haueisen.
“Their Works Do Follow Them.” – Even those
who know the lively interest which Frederick G. Haueisen, of St. Louis, had
shown during his lifetime not only in his home congregation (Zion; the Rev.
L.J. Sieck, pastor), but in our Synod at large, stopped and wondered when the
full amount of his benefactions, as provided for in his will, were made
public. Mr. Haueisen departed this life
at the age of eighty-two years on December 4, and his total bequests to the
Church and its institutions aggregate about $200,000. (Relatives and friends received about
$243,000 and the residue of the estate of about $600,000 will be divided
between the Church and relatives.) Zion
Church receives $20,000 as a trust fund to be known as the “Haueisen Indigent
Student’s Fund,” for the benefit of young men preparing for the ministry; an
additional $20,000 is an endowment for Zion Congregation; and $6,000 is given
as an equivalent of Mr. Haueisen’s contributions for five years. His pastor receives $2,000. The sum of $50,000 is bequeathed to the
Missouri Synod, to be used for “its general purposes.” The Concordia Seminary Indigent Students’
Fund received $10,000 and KFUO $2,000.
There is a bequest of $2,500 for church extension of the Western
District; $2,500 for city missions of the Lutheran churches in St. Louis; $2,500
for foreign missions; $2,500 for Colored Missions; $1,000 for general Home
Missions; $1,000 for South American Missions; $2,000 for the Lutheran Laymen’s League;
$500 for the Wheat Ridge Sanitarium at Wheat Ridge, Colorado; $500 for Home
Missions in Germany; $500 for the Bethesda Home at Watertown, Wisconsin; $500
for the Home-finding and Altenheim Society of St. Louis; $1,000 goes to
Valparaiso University and $1,000 to Immanuel Lutheran College at Greensboro,
North Carolina. The bequests to his home
congregation provided that if the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Louis
“should at any time sever its connections with the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of
Missouri, Ohio, and Other States,” the funds “are to be turned over to the
latter organization.”
We believe that this is the largest amount
ever received by our Church in the form of legacies. Mr. Haueisen, in addition, made very large donations
to various synodical purposes during his life, not only to his home congregation,
but also to synodical undertakings, such as the new Concordia Seminary
($10,000), the Lutheran Laymen’s League Endowment Fund, the purchase of the new
Seminary site, and other purposes, too numerous to mention.
Eight years old when his family immigrated
from Germany, Frederick Haueisen’s father died three years later. After attending parochial school, the boy was
confirmed. His only further education
consisted in night-school at a commercial college. His first position was that of a porter for a
commission house. In 1868 he began a
commission firm, which prospered and from which he retired five years age. He was a plain Christian, utterly unassuming,
a lovable character. He conducted a
moderate household, lived a simple life, and has long since been regarded as
the “grand old man” of Zion Congregation, whose pastor he regularly consulted
regarding his benefactions… G.
Obituary of Student Otto
Faas.
Otto Faas, student at Concordia Seminary,
Springfield, Illinois, died suddenly on September 22. He was born January 17, 1903, in Pilot
Township, Iowa County, Iowa. In
September, 1922, he entered our institution for the purpose of preparing
himself for the office of the holy ministry.
He discontinued his studies in 1923, but reentered in 1925 and was now a
member of the Second Seminary class. D.v., he would have graduated in
1931. The body was sent to his home at
Victor, Iowa, where Christian burial took place on September 26. Rev. F. Kreutz, Sr., preached the funeral
sermon on Luke 7, 11-17. Besides his
parents, three brothers, and five sisters our entire student-body mourns his
loss. H.A. Klein.
Obituary of Rev.
Robert G.G. Bernahl.
Again a young and very conscientious
servant of the Lord in the holy ministry was summoned to leave the field in
which he had labored so faithfully and to enter the joy of his Lord in the
Kingdom of Glory. It was Pastor Robert
G.G. Bernahl.
The deceased, a son of John and Wilhelmine
Bernahl, was born at Bethlehem, Illinois, December 4, 1900. Having received a thorough instruction in the
Christian day-school, he was confirmed in 1914.
A graduate of Springfield, Illinois, in 1923, he accepted a call to St.
John’s at Sparta, Illinois, and Trinity, of Kaskaskia Island, Illinois. In the spring of 1927 he suffered a severe
attack of influenza and pneumonia, following which he contracted
tuberculosis. On September 16, 1928, the
Lord granted him a blessed end. Funeral services
were held at Altamont, Illinois, September 19.
President P. Schulz officiated at the home, Pastor M.O. Burkhardt
addressed the mourning relatives as well as a large assembly of
fellow-Lutherans and friends of the deceased at the church in the German tongue,
and the undersigned spoke in the English language and Pastor J. Lohrmann in
behalf of the confidence of which the departed had been a member. Interment took place at Bethlehem. Pastor A.F. Neuendorf officiated at the
grave. A number of brethren of the Southern
Illinois and the Central Illinois District were present to pay their last
respects to the deceased.
He is survived by his devoted wife Norma, nee
Meossner, with whom he had been united in holy wedlock July 17, 1924, by a
daughter, his parents, two brothers, and two sisters, who mourn his departure
at the early age of 27 years, 9 months, and 12 days. Matt. 25, 21.
Bethlehem, Illinois; M.W. Pott.
Obituary of Pastor Henry
Carl Frederick Pflug.
Pastor Henry Carl Frederick Pflug was born
January 5, 1864, at Maywood, Illinois.
It was here also where he renewed his baptismal covenant in 1878. In the fall of that year he entered Concordia
College at Fort Wayne, Indiana, continuing there until his entry at Concordia
Seminary, Springfield, Illinois, in 1882.
When he graduated in 1887, he accepted a call to El Paso, Illinois,
serving also the preaching-stations at Cayuga and Meadows and, beginning with
January, 1888, also the congregation at Chenoa with its station Gridley. In August, 1888, Pastor Pflug married Johanna
Gehrmann, only to lose her by death two months later. On November 24, 1889, he married Anna Eva Maier. Their union was blessed with three
children. From January, 1902, to July,
1909, he served the congregation at Thayer, Nebraska, ministering also,
according to their respective needs, to the charges at Beaver Creek, Utica, and
Waco. From August, 1909, to December,
1927, he devoted himself to the congregation at Scribner, Nebraska, and the
station at North Bend. Pastor Pflug
taught parish school and was equal to the situation when state requirements
were moved up a notch or two, until his congregation was able to supply him
with a student. On retiring to Fremont,
Nebraska, in December, 1927, he continued to serve the station at North Bend,
until May, 1928. His prayer for “deliverance
from all evil” was heard on June 19, 1928.
At the funeral services at Fremont,
Nebraska, the Rev. J.H. Schaefer officiated at the house, while the Rev. W.
Harms, president of the Northern Nebraska District, and the undersigned spoke
at the services in the church in German and English, respectively. Interment was made on June 22 at El Paso,
Illinois, Pastors J.E. Schnack and W.E. Hohenstein officiating.
Pastor Pflug is mourned by the bereaved
widow at Fremont, Nebraska, by two sons, one daughter-in-law, five brothers,
and tow sisters. Several memorial
wreaths were donated in memory of our dear brother. Fremont, Nebraska; Wm. Brueggemann.
