Kloesel, Adolf
Man Found Dead In Ditch Friday Morning
A negro man early last Friday morning found the body of a man in a ditch on the north side of the highway just a short distance east of Oswald Duerr’s filling station. He gave the alarm and a number of people were soon on the scene. It was found that the man was dead and his identity was proven as a brother of Mrs. Joe Grohmann, who lived just a short distance east of the spot and also of Anton Kloesel. The dead man’s name was Adolf Kloesel and he was about 57 years of age.
It is believed that in coming home (we understand that he lived in the home of his sister) he very likely became blinded by the headlights of some automobile, made a misstep and fell into the ditch at a point where a pool of water had collected, with his face in the water, and being stunned by the fall he lay there and drowned.
The body was taken to the home of Mrs. Grohmann, prepared for burial and later was interred in St. Michael’s Cemetery.
Mr. Kloesel is said to have been a quite, good natured, inoffensive man, well liked by those who knew him, and his tragic death is sincerely regretted.

Ed A. Kloesel, Businessman, Cancer Victim
Cancer claimed the life Tuesday, Nov. 7, of Ed A. Kloesel, 83, for many years a Weimar businessman. His long battle with the disease ended at 9:30 a.m. at Colorado Fayette Medical Center.
Funeral services were held Thursday, Nov. 9, from S. Michael Catholic Church here with burial in the parish cemetery. Father John Bily officiated.
Kloesel had a longed and checkered business career. Born in the Sedan community northwest of Weimar, he farmed for three years before moving to Weimar in 1937. He and Leo Hoegemeyer shared a dealership for Humble products for four and a half years in the building on West Main that is now Franklin’s Fried Chicken. When World War II brought gas and tire rationing and red tape, Kloesel gave up the dealership and took a job with Western Auto Associate Store for four and a half years. Then he worked for the Butane Gas and Equipment Co. for eight months.
On April 1, 1948, he bought the inventory of Fritz Lichey in a Texaco station on North Center in a rented building and also took on a Maytag dealership. He called his business The Trading Post. Eleven years later he bought the property and on Dec. 1, 1976, he retired, selling the lot to First State Bank for a parking lot.
Retirement didn’t last long. A year later Bennie Getschmann needed help at his Gulf station and Kloesel took a “temporary” job that continued until 1979, when Getschmann sold his property and the two gas-pump veterans retired together.
Kloesel was born Feb. 10, 1906, a son of Frank J. and Mary (Kainer) Kloesel. He married Eleanor Mensik at Ammannsville on Oct. 22, 1934. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Joseph Society.
His wife survives him; along with his daughter and son-in-law, Beatrice and Louis P. Jalowy Jr.; a grandson, John Paul Jalowy and two great-grandchildren, Nicole and Eryk Jalowy; three brothers, Emil and Rudy Kloesel of Weimar and Herman Kloesel of Schulenburg; and three sisters, Anna I.

Born on December 12, 1926, to Emil Rerich and Ludmilla (Heger) Rerich, she lived most of her life in Weimar. After graduating as Salutatorian of the Weimar High School Class of 1944, Evelyn headed to Sanderson where she worked for Southern Pacific Railroad.
Upon her return to Weimar, she married Eugene Kloesel on February 9, 1948. Evelyn enjoyed being a homemaker, mom and community volunteer. Never to let grass grow under her feet, she led a very active life.
