MAY 10, 1917
John George Wurmnest, for many years one of the well know farmers of Germanville township, died at the State Hospital at Kankakee on Thursday evening, May 3, aged 52 years, 8 months and 20 days.
John Wurmnest was born at Niederaulau, Germany, on August 13, 1864. At the age of 18 he came to the United States and to Germanville township, Livingston county, Illinois, and up to the year 1906 was engaged in farming in that township. He was united in marriage in 1889 to Lizzie Ulrich and to this union ten children were born. Mrs. Wurmnest preceded her husband in death, passing away in 1903, as did also three children.
For many years Mr. Wurmnest was a sufferer from epileptic spells and these kept growing worse until 1903 when his physical condition became so bad that he was taken to the State Hospital at Kankakee and there he passed his remaining days. He is survived by seven children--William, Mrs. Kathryn Wulner and Valentine, of near Pontiac, Anna, of Strawn, George, who resides in the state of Texas, and Henry and Bertha who reside near Pontiac. He is also survived by his aged father, Valentine Wurmnest, who resides here, and one brother, George Wurmnest, of this city, and one sister, Mrs. Nicholas Hornickel, of Germanville.
The remains were brought here Friday evening and the funeral was held on Saturday afternoon from the Ev. Lutheran church, Rev. A.A. Hahn, the pastor, conducting the services and there was a large number of his former neighbors and friends present. The remains were laid to rest in Germanville cemetery beside those of his wife and children.
