Hartensteiner, Andrew
ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN OF THIS SECTION PASSES AWAY
Mr. Andrew Hartensteiner, a citizen of this section for the past twenty-eight years, died at the family residence at Content, four miles south of Weimar Saturday morning, after a brief illness, although he had been in ill health for some time past. The funeral took place at St. Michael’s Cemetery, this city, Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, Rev. J. Szymanski officiating in the presence of a large assemblage of mourning relatives, friends and neighbors.
Andrew Hartensteiner was born in Markt Hodis, Hungary, Nov. 30, 1856. He was married to Petronella Weber Jan. 26, 1885. To this union five children were born--Frank, Charles, John, Theresa and Joe--all of whom died in infancy with the exception of Charles, who, with the widow, survives. Mr. Hartensteiner emigrated to the United States in the year 1897. He lived at Schulenburg for about nine months and a short time at LaGrange. In 1898 he moved to the Boettcher farm a short distance south of Weimar, where he lived for three years. From there he moved to the W. H. Oncken place, where he lived for four years. He then purchased the Wm. Warnken farm, which he held for seven years, then sold and moved to his present home, the old F. Boettcher homestead at Content.
Mr. Hartensteiner was a quiet, peaceable, good citizen, well liked by neighbors and everyone. He was an industrious farmer, a successful man, a devoted husband and father, and his large circle of friends throughout this section sincerely deplore his untimely death.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his bereaved widow and son.
