This entife community was deeply grieved when it was learned that Chris Janssen had passed from this life at his home southeast of Ireton last Friday, June 23, 1933. Death was caused from hardening of the teries.

The deceased had been faiL. ing in health since early last fall but continued with his farm work until in February when his condition became such that lie was confined to his home most of the time. During the last ten days of his life he patiently, and with great fortitude, suffered untold agonies from his affliction until the death angel wafted his spirit from its r.ain.wrecked body and bore him to his heavenly home there to be warded for a life well spent on earth.

He later moved to Coleridge, and from there came to Sioux county, Iowa, where he purchased a fine farm in Reading ship, southeast of Ireton. Through his frugality and good judgment he added to his land possessions as the year went by until he became the possessor of 520 acres and a fine farm home. On March 4, 1890, he was united Ln marriage to Frauke Friederichs.

To this union were born five children, Henry Janssen, Mrs. John G. Popken, Mrs. Herman Wessels, Dick Janssen and Mrs. Ernest Meyer, aii of whom are well known in thi vicinity.
