PASSING OF A PIONEER
G. Henry Annegers, a resident of Henderson County for 75 years and one of the largest land owners in the county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. J. Artz in Burlington, Iowa, Jan. 3rd at the ripe age of 84 years, 3 months and 12 days. Mr. Annegers was born in Badbergen, Germany, Sept. 22, 1840. At the age of 14 years, he came with his parents to America, the destination of the family being Burlington, Ia. Soon after their arrival there the elder Annegers purchased and settled upon the southeast quarter of section 29 in what is now Stronghurst Township and this farm passed at the death of the father to the son G. Henry Annegers. This farm remained in his possession until the time of his death and to it he added from time to time other holdings of valuable farm land in the county. Almost 70 years of a very active and useful life was spent by Mr. Annegers in this vicinity.
Mr. Annegers was married at Burlington on Jan. 16, 1867 to Anna M. Pahlman, who was also a native of Badbergen, Germany. She and two sons, George H. and William C. Annergers, who with his mother, preceded the husband and father in death. The surviving children are Mrs. C. J. Artz of Burlington, Ia. and Mrs. E. E. Mark and Mrs. F. R. Smith of Stronghurst vicinity. There are also three surviving grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Mr. Annegers was essentially a man of peace. That he knew the secret of right living is attested by the fact that even his later years found him still attending to his many interests in his habitual methodical, intelligent way, a way that characterized all of his activities from the very beginning of his business career. He was blessed with an abundance of common sense and keen judgment and his integrity, while unostentatious, was nevertheless generally recognized.
Funeral services were conducted at the Stronghurst U.P. Church with interment in the Stronghurst Cemetery.
