Obituary

Charles, Dluzak The entire community near Remington was shocked Monday morning when the news flashed over the telephone wires that Charley Dluzak had dropped dead. He was in the best of health and was preparing to go to town with his daughters, and while they were getting ready he went to slop the hogs. But the Almighty laid his merciful hand upon him and said: “Come, thou faithful servant,” and he was dead to this world. He was an industrious, hard-working man and had been blessed with earthly possessions and was a large land owner. Charles Dluzak was born in the village of Mlynkavo, Posen county, Germany, April 23, 1853, and came to this country at the age of 14. He lived at various places, but for the past 50 years had lived on his farm in Carpenter township. He was married to Katherine Ulm May 5, 1881, to whom he was very much devoted. She died Dec. 21, 1919. He took an active interest in all the church affairs, was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and a loyal member of the Holy Name Society. He was a devoted husband, a kind and loving father and a model neighbor. He leaves to mourn his loss —> Charles of Wabash; Tena, John, Albert, Florence, Lorene and Allie (who lost her husband in February and who came to make her home with him) and Evlyn Hill of Goodland, six grandchildren, a host of relatives and a large circle of friends who deeply regret his untimely death. Funeral services were held Wednesday at 9 o’clock at Sacred Heart church, Remington, conducted by two Fathers from Collegeville and Father Smith of Reynolds. Interment was made at Calvary cemetery and was in charge of the Catholic Order of Foresters.
