DEATH OF MRS. FRED. DAHSE

Mrs. Fred Dahse, widow of one of the pioneer settlers of this section, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Piepenbrok of this city, Tuesday of last week and the remains were committed to their last resting place in the New Bielau Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of a large gathering of mourning relatives and friends, Rev. Kniker, Lutheran minister of Cibolo, Texas, officiating in a touching burial service.

Mrs. Dahse was the victim of paralysis on Sunday a week ago and on the following Tuesday passed unto the Great Beyond.

Mrs. Dahse and her husband were among the pioneer settlers of the New Bielau section, raising a large family of children, all now grown, married and settled in life, and by neighbors and friends were regarded as a model couple, possessing the esteem of everyone in that section. Mrs. Dahse was a loving, good woman, a devoted wife and mother, and no one living in the New Bielau community was held in higher esteem. During her declining years her children were devoted to her, and showered every possible attention that “Mother’s” last days upon earth might be peaceful and happy.

Knowing Mrs. Dahse for the past two decades, and appreciating the heavy loss her loved ones have sustained, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to them in their deep bereavement.

Dahse, Alma (Oncken)

A Sad Accident.

Mrs. Alma Dahse, wife of Louis Dahse, a prominent farmer of the New Bielau neighborhood, met with a serious accident Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock. She was standing at the elevated platform at the ice factory when a team hitched to a wagon loaded with coal became frightened and suddenly backed the wagon into her, crushing her with great violence against the platform. She was seriously injured internally. and was at once taken to Mrs. Weete’s residence and a physician summoned. She seemed to suffer agonies; and only received relief when under the influence of opiates. Her condition is still critical, and it is impossible to say whether she will live or not. Many friends of the family join us in the fervent hope that she will live through it. Mrs. Dahse is a daughter of Mrs. John Oncken of this city.

LATER.--Mrs. Dahse died Tuesday night, after suffering untold agonies since the time of the accident. Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. A. Hoegemeyer Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok officiating, interment taking place in the Masonic cemetery at this place. Mrs. Dahse was a splendid young woman, beloved by all who knew her, and the tragic accident which caused her death is deeply and sincerely deplored by all.

Dahse, August

Another Old Timer Called Unto His Last Reward

People of this section were deeply saddened Thursday morning of last week when the news flashed over the community that Mr. August Dahse,one of the oldest and most prominent of our citizens, had been called to his last reward.

It was generally known that Mr. Dahse was in a precarious condition and had been so for a number of weeks, but being a man of much vigor it was hoped he would be able to over come his physical ills and be spared to family and friends for a long time to come. This, however, proved a vain hope. A sinking spell early Thursday brought on Death very quickly.

Funeral arrangements were made and at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon the remains of this good man and citizen were committed to rest in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, this city, from the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Emil Brunkenhoefer, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok, local Lutheran minister, officiating. The funeral was largely attended, attesting the high esteem in which decedent was held by his fellow-man.

Mr. August Dahse was born March 5, 1862, in Germany. He came to this country when a mere infant, the family locating at Welcome, Washington county. At the age of 14 years his parents moved to Colorado county, settling in the New Bielau community. Here, later in life, Mr. Dahse was united in marriage to Miss Ida Engels, the ceremony taking place Nov. 2!, 1887. Seven children blessed this union. Of this number, Oscar, died in infancy, and Clem, another son, died in Fort Worth in 1926. The widow and remaining children--Mrs. Clara Laas, Mrs. Erna Brunkenhoefer, Herbert Dahse of Houston, Eric Dahse and Erwin Dahse of Austin--survive. Other survivors are seven grandchildren, one brother, Willie Dahse, and two sisters. Mrs. Ida Emken of San Antonio and Mrs. Mary Lichey of New Bielau. Mr. Dahse was a member of the Lutheran Church of New Bielau. At time of death he was 68 years, 2 months and 10 days old.

August Dahse was well and favorably known throughout this section, where he spent practically his entire life. He was a man of friendly, genial disposition, enterprising spirit, ever proving himself a devoted husband and father, a good neighbor and friend, and his passing will be noted with extreme regret by a large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout South Texas.

In the loss of their beloved husband and father, the family has the heartfelt sympathy of all our people.

Dahse, Edith H. W.

Child Drinks Gasolene[sic]; Dies.

While playing around the home a few miles south of Weimar, last Sunday, the 2-year-old baby daughter (their only child) of Adolf Dahse and wife in some way got hold of a bottle of gasoline and drank a part of the contents of same. Physicians were hurriedly summoned from Oakland and Weimar and they responded as fast as autos could get them to the scene, doing all in their power to counteract the deadly effects of the poison, but their efforts were in vain and after about one hour of suffering the little baby girl succumbed to the effects of the deadly stuff she had swallowed. The little girl was a bright child, the pride and delight of her parents' heart, and in losing the idol of their home Mr. and Mrs. Dahse have the unfeigned sympathy of the entire community. God be with and comfort them, as He alone can. [Interment in New Bielau Cemetery]

Little Baby Dies While Parents Absent

A sad incident was that of the death of the baby son of Otto Dahse and wife of the New Bielau section, one day last week, the cause, so we have been informed,being locked bowels. The father was taken to San Antonio Saturday a week ago to be operated on for serious Kidney trouble. The wife accompanied him, leaving the baby with relatives. The baby boy, 10 months old, was not well when the parents left, but it was not thought to be anything serious. His condition became serious very rapidly, however.

The wife and mother could not leave the bedside of the husband and father who had just undergone a serious operation, so was unable to be present at the funeral. Tender hands prepared the little body for the grave and it was laid to rest in the New Bielau Cemetery. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Dahse in their misfortune.

Dahse, Otto A.

A Good Man Has Gone to His Eternal Reward

Many hearts throughout this section were deeply saddened Friday morning of last week when it was learned that Mr. Otto A. Dahse, one of the most popular and beloved citizens of the New Bielau community, had died the night previous.

Mr. Dahse had been in ill health for several years past,at times confined to his bed, but had gotten up time after time, and his genial temperament had led many to believe that, after all, perhaps his physical troubles might not be so serious. Mr. Dahse several years ago underwent a very serious operation in San Antonio, and to physicians and family it was generally recognized that his condition really and truly was serious, and that an end might come to this good man at any time. Some ten days previous to his death he was forced to take to his bed, he grew worse rapidly and the end came to him peacefully Thursday night of last week.

Funeral arrangement were made and the body committed to mother earth with interment in the New Bielau Cemetery Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. Services were conducted by Rev. Baltzer of Houston and Rev. Anderson of this city, in the presence of a large circle of mourning relatives and friends. Floral emblems were numerous and beautiful, attesting the high regard in which decedent was held by his friends and neighbors.

Otto A. Dahse was born July 18, 1888. in New Bielau, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dahse. He was baptized and confirmed in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of New Bielau. He was united in marriage in 1920 to Miss Magdalene Nagel. Five children were born to this union, of whom one died in infancy about eleven years ago, on the day and date decedent underwent a very serious operation in San Antonio. Mr. Dahse is survived by his widow, Mrs. Magdalene Dahse, four children--two sons, Fred and Rubin, and two daughters, Elvera and Ruth Laverne; five brothers, Gus, Rudolf, Louis, Edward of Shiner and Herman of Nordheim; five sisters, Mrs. Emelie Rathke, Mrs. Bertha Wendt, Mrs. Marie Havermann of Houston, Mrs. Hulda Oncken of Shiner and Mrs. Elsie Piepenbrok of Schulenburg.

Funeral services were held at the home, church and grave by the two Lutheran ministers above named. The New Bielau choir also rendered several beautiful and touching songs. Mr. Dahse was a member of the New Bielau Lutheran Church. Mr. Dahse had been in failing health for the past twelve years, a sufferer from a severe kidney complaint. He underwent two serious operations in search of relief, but it only proved temporary. At time of death he was a little over 43 years old.

Otto Dahse was a man whom to know was to like. Of friendly, cheerful temperament, he always proved a welcome addition to every circle in which he moved. Despite his afflictions, he bore up cheerfully, and to the last, was possessed of energy that deceived many into the belief that he was on the road to permanent recovery. Otto Dahse was an honest man, a good man, a man whose friendship was prized by all. He was good to his family, good to his neighbors, good to everyone with whom he came in contact. His death is deeply and sincerely regretted. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his bereaved ones in the irreparable loss they have sustained.

Dahse, Theresia (Ehweiner)

Mrs. Therese Dahse Claimed by Death

Mrs. Theresa Dahse, widow of the late Mr. Chr. Dahse, died at her home in the New Bielau community last Sunday, and the remains were laid to rest in the New Bielau Cemetery Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Dahse had made her home for some time past with her son. Mr. Emil Dahse, and her death took place there. Old age, as much as anything else, was the cause of her death.

Mrs. Dahse, nee Ehweiner, was born Oct. 5, 1848, in Austria. At the age of 7 years she emigrated with her parents to the United States, landing at Port Arthur, Texas, going from that point overland in an ox wagon to Austin county, near Brenham. She moved with her parents to the New Bielau community, in Colorado county, two years later. She was united in marriage to Mr. Christian Dahse in 1891. No children were born to this couple, but she was a step-mother to five children--August Dahse, recently deceased; Mrs. Eda Emken, Mr. Wm. Dahse, Mrs. Mary Lichey, and Mr. Emil Dahse, who was adopted as an infant. She leaves a total of 24 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She had one brother, M. Ehweiner, who died in 1917, and one sister, Mrs. Berthold. Her husband died in 1918. She was a member of the New Bielau Lutheran Church for many years. At time of her death Mrs. Dahse was 81 years, 8 months and 11 days old.

Mrs. Dahse was a kind-hearted, good woman, a devoted wife and mother, a kind and considerate neighbor and friend, and her death is deeply deplored. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to her bereaved ones.
