Obituary of Rev.
H.F.W. Brandes.
Apparently in good health and spirits,
Rev. H.F.W. Brandes unexpectedly, after a brief illness, departed this life on
August 4, 1928.
Born in Braunschweig, Germany, May 13,
1862, the deceased, at the age of six years, emigrated to America with his
parents, who settled down at Kingston, New York. Here he attended the Christian day-school and
was confirmed by the sainted Pastor Stutz.
After his confirmation, encouraged by his pastor, he entered Concordia
College at Fort Wayne to prepare himself for the holy ministry and graduated
from the theological seminary at St. Louis in 1884.
Called as a missionary in the State of
Iowa, he served nine mission-stations.
Later he served congregations at What Cheer and Mackey, Iowa. In 1900 he was called to Huntington, Indiana,
which congregation he served for ten years.
In 1910 he accepted the call to St. Mark’s Congregation at Cleveland,
Ohio. Here his untiring and faithful
labor and wise leadership was signally blessed.
From a small congregation, St. Mark’s grew to one of the largest of our
city.
Sunday. August 5, a brief service was
conducted by Rev. G. Eyler for the bereaved family in the parsonage, and the
mortal remains were conveyed to the church and placed under the pulpit, from which
he intended to preach on that Sunday.
Funeral services were held the following day. The spacious church was filled to overflowing
with mourners and friends. The
undersigned delivered the German sermon, based on Hos. 6, 1. Rev. E. Weber spoke in English, basing his
remarks on 1 Tim. 4, 7. 8. Rev. G. Eyler
officiated at the grave. The mortal
remains of the deceased brother now await the summons of the great Resurrection
Day at beautiful Lutheran Cemetery.
Rev. Brandes was joined in holy wedlock,
to Mary, nee Sadloff, in 1885.
This union was blessed with four sons and three daughters, who, together
with the bereaved widow and two brothers, mourn his unexpected demise.
Jesus says: “Our friend sleepeth, but I go that I may awaken him out of sleep.” F.J. Keller.
Obituary of Rev. Otto
Matthies.
Twice within the short period of less than
two weeks the angel of death entered the Lutheran parsonage at Avon, South
Dakota. Having returned with his family
from the funeral of his fifteen-year-old son, Rev. Otto Matthies complained of
feeling ill. His condition gradually
grew worse. Pneumonia set in. In spite of the best medical aid obtainable
he succumbed to the same malady that had taken his son after a brief illness
only eleven days before. With a prayer
on his lips in firm faith in his Savior he entered into eternal rest on May 24.
Funeral services were conducted on May 26
at Avon. Rev. Chr. Wieting offered words
of comfort in a German sermon, while Rev. G.H. Steffen delivered the English
address. Burial took place at the
Lutheran cemetery near Hartford, South Dakota, Rev. A.C. Oberheu officiating.
The deceased was born December 18, 1883,
near Hartford, South Dakota. He attended
our institutions at Milwaukee and St. Louis, graduating from the latter in
1909. He faithfully served the
congregations at Spencer, Nebraska, from 1909 to 1912, at Hampton, Nebraska,
from 1912 to 1915, at Brazilton, Kansas, from 1915 to 1927, and he had just
rounded out a year of successful service at Avon, South Dakota, when the Lord
called him hence.
On July 8, 1909, the deceased entered the state of holy wedlock with Emma, nee Wendorf, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Lord blessed this union with one son and two daughters. Our departed brother is survived by his widow, a daughter, six brothers, and two sisters. Sioux Falls, South Dakota; G.A. Troemel.
Obituary of Rev.
Henry J.H. Rathjen.
Rev. Henry J.H. Rathjen, son of Pastor H.
Rathjen, was born at Palatine, Illinois, June 25, 1872. A few months later his parents removed to
Theresa, Wisconsin, where he attended the Parochial school and after his
confirmation entered our college at Milwaukee.
In 1889 he entered our Seminary at Springfield from which he was graduated
in 1894. His first charge was the
congregation at Congerville, Illinois.
Later he served the following congregations: Otter Creek, Wisconsin, from 1897 to 1900; Theresa,
Wisconsin, from 1900 to 1915; Wautoma, Wisconsin, from 1915 to 1924. Since June, 1924, he had served the congregations
at Arlington and Poynette, Wisconsin.
In 1894 he entered the estate of holy
matrimony with Anna, nee Linse, which union was blessed with five sons
and seven daughters, all of whom survive their father.
On
August 18 he was stricken with stomach hemorrhages and, following repeated
blood transfusions, submitted to an operation on September 6, when pneumonia
developed, resulting in his death two days later.
Funeral services were conducted on
September 12 in the church at Poynette, where Pastor Wm. Uffenbeck spoke on Job
19, 25 in the German language, following which another service was conducted at
Arlington, where Dir. G. Chr. Barth spoke on Phil. 1, 23. Both texts had been chosen by the
deceased. Interment followed in the
North Leeds cemetery, where Pastor F. Nammacher officiated.
“Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching.” Luke 12, 37. Madison, Wisconsin; F.C. Brandhorst.
Obituary of Teacher
J.A. Theiss.
Teacher J.A. Theiss was born August 26,
1859, in Zelienople, Pennsylvania. His
father was pastor of an Ohio Synod congregation at that place. When the lad was about six years old, his
father accepted a call to Middleton, Ohio.
There the lad attended the Christian day-school and was also
confirmed. In 1875 he entered our
Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, Illinois, where he graduated in 1879. He was called to Danville, Illinois, July 6,
1882, he was married to Miss Katherine Bahls.
God blessed the union with nine children, five of whom have preceded the
father into eternity. In 1891 he
accepted a call to the school of St. Peter’s Congregation in Chicago. In 1898 Bethlehem Church extended a call to
him as principal, which he accepted. For
thirty years he served this congregation faithfully as teacher, organist, choir
director, and secretary. He was also one
of the organizers of the Milwaukee Mission in 1901 and served this organization
as secretary and member of the Executive Board since 1914. As a member of the Electoral College of the
Teachers’ Seminary at River Forest and as a member of many important committees
he rendered our Synod distinguished services.
Through his Zwischenspiele fuer Organisten (interludes for
organists), published in 1903, through his Select Songs, which appeared
in 1920, and through a collection of Christmas hymns he became widely known
throughout our Synod and far beyond its bounds, in Australis, Europe, and
Asia. By his death, Bethlehem Church in
particular and our Synod in general has lost a God-fearing, gifted, and
faithful laborer.
Thursday, September 6, at noon, on his way
to school, carrying books for his class, he died suddenly from a stroke. Funeral services were held September 10. The undersigned preached in German on Is. 45,
15, and the assistant pastor, Rev. Clarence Kaiser, in English on John 12,
26. The Milwaukee teachers’ choir sang “Whatever
God Ordains Is Good.” Concordia Teachers’
College at River Forest sent a representative.
The departed, who had just begun his
fiftieth year in office, died at the age of 69 years and 11 days. The survivors mourning his death are his
wife, three daughters, four grandchildren, his aged mother-in-law, three
brothers, three sisters, and other relatives.
“They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever.” Dan. 12, 3. Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Oscar Kaiser.
