Last Friday news came from Sisseton, South Dakota, that Jurgen Henry Mohr was very low and for the relatives to come at once. The mother, Mrs. Peter Mohr, a sister, Mrs. Henry Grau and her husband, Henry immediately left for that place. At St. Paul they were joined by another sister of the deceased, Mrs. Stephen Milette. However before they reached their destination death had come to their relative. They sorrowfully then made arrangements to ship the body to Manning for burial.
Wednesday afternoon relatives and friends gathered at the German Church where Rev. Johann Ansorge preached a touching sermon, after which kind hands took the body to the Manning Cemetery where it was laid to rest. The following are left to mourn his death: a mother, Mrs. Peter Mohr of Manning; brothers, Peter Mohr of Wessington, South Dakota; John Mohr of Glendo, South Dakota; and William Mohr of Tamarack, Minnesota; Sisters, Mrs. Henry Grau of Manning and Mrs. Stephen Millette of St. Paul, Minnesota. All were present excepting John when the burial took place.
The deceased was born in Marne, Holstein, Germany, November 14, 1866, and came to this country while quite young. He was unmarried and lived sixteen years at Sisseton. Those who knew him say he was a fine man, and that he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of all their friends in their sorrow.
