In march 1891 the Kautz family came from Germany to the United States, locating at Kasson Minnesota and altho Mr. Kautz had while in Germany persued the cobblers trade, he took up farming in this country. This occupation he followed until 1918. At this time the deceased while working as a section hand on a railroad near Hallock received an injury which resulted in the loss of one foot. After sufficient recovery he again took up his old trade of cobbling. For a number of years he was at Rose Creek.
Seven years ago he came to Elgin to make his home where he not only found work at his trade but also his church to which he was deeply devoted. His honesty and diligence was well known to all in the community.
The immediate cause of his death was heart trouble. He had been ill but a short time and confined to his bed only about a week before death came.
Funeral services were conducted on Monday afternoon from Trinity Lutheran church, Rev. C. A. Affeldt officiating, and his remains were taken to Dodge Center for burial.
