RATTERMAN--Two Deaths in One Family Within Hour--Judge Ratterman's Son Passes Away at Kearney; Mrs. Ratterman's Father at West Point
A two-fold burden of sorrow descended upon the home of Judge and Mrs. John J. Rattermon [sic] yesterday when the judge's son, John Ratterman, jr., passed away at the state hospital in Kearney at 1 p.m., and at almost the same moment a message came announcing the death of Mrs. Ratterman's father, Thomas Cain, which occurred at the old people's home in West Point at noon the same day. Judge Ratterman was confined to his home at the time, convalescing from a siege of ptomaine poisoning.
Mrs. Ratterman was at John's bedside in Kearney when her father passed away and did not learn of his death until her arrival home last evening. The funeral had been set for Wednesday, but has been changed to Thursday in oder that Mrs. Ratterman may attend. Her sister, Mrs. A. Swanson, of Blair, will meet her in Fremont Thursday and together they will go to West Point. Mr. Cain was 90 years old and was one of the earliest pioneers in Holt county. He entered the old people's home at West Point some years ago.
The body of John Ratterman, jr., arrived from Kearney this afternoon and was taken to the home of his parents. Funeral services will be held at St. Bonaventure's church Wednesday at 10 a.m., with burial in the Catholic cemetery.
John G. Ratterman was born at Menominee, Cedar county, Nebraska, coming to Columbus with the family in childhood. He was graduated from the Columbus high school in 1909. During his school days he was an athletc [sic], a football player and at one time won second honors in a state track meet. For several years he was a member of the Columbus city band.
Ex-Service Man.
Ater completing his school course, he accepted a position with the Presto-Lite company at Omaha, winning promotion to the management of the company's branch house in Kansas City. Later he became auditor for the Peake Auto Supply company of Kansas City, and served in that capacity until the world war, when he offered himself to his country as a volunteer, enlisting in the tank corps. He was sent to Camp Colt, Pa., and then to Camp Dix, N.J., for training preparatory to crossing to France. While there he was stricken with the flu, which undermined his health and from which he never fully recovered. Because of the ravages of the disease, he was honorably discharged and returned to his former place with the Peake Auto Supply company at Kansas City.
Having left home 12 years ago, a picture of health and strength, he returned home Oct. 27, 1922, stricken with tuberculosis. An x-ray examination showed the entire right lung affected and he was taken immediately to St. Mary's hospital for treatment. A week ago today he was removed to the state hospital at Kearney in the hopes that special treatment might stay the dread malady.
Besides his parents, he leaves one brother, Frank J. Ratterman, of Omaha, and four sisters, Mrs. L.V. Evans, of Council Bluffs; Mrs. Hilton White, of San Diego; Mrs. George H. Bender and Miss Lucy Ratterman, of Columbus.
