JACOB FREDERICK WOLESLAGEL         Old Resident Died Friday

was at one time in milling business here and also a farmer

J F Woleslagel was one of the older residents of this vicinity, he died Friday, February 27, 1920 at the home of his son E G Woleslagel, in Hutchinson.

Mr Woleslagel first came to Kansas in the year of 1878 and lived on a rented farm for a short time.  He then purchased what is known as the John Royer farm, now owned by E S Wilkey, just north of this city.  He lived on this farm for a number of years, after which he moved to this city and engaged in the milling business in partnership with George McAllister, operating the Keystone Mills for a number of years.  During these years, Mr Woleslagel was very active in the business interests of the community as well, for its well-being in other respects.  He was active in church work for years, and served the city as councilman for a number of terms.  He was a man of upright character and integrity, and in whatever capacity he acted, he was trusted implicitly.  On all questions of moral character he was on the right side. He was a friend in whatever place he might have been placed.

J F Woleslagel was born in Seneca Co, Ohio on November 18, 1849.  He spent his childhood days on the farm with his parents until October 22, 1873, when he married Lydia Ann Royer.  After their marriage, they lived on a farm in Ohio, until the year 1878, when they came to Kansas.  For the most part this state has been his home.  Aside from his residence on a farm in the vicinity and in this city, he lived for a time on a farm in Barber county (KS), and since selling the farm in the year 1914, he has made his home with his children.

He is survived by his wife, three sons and one daughter, — one daughter preceded him in death.  Those surviving are Jason L Woleslagel, of this city; Ernest G Woleslagel of Hutchinson; J Herbert Woleslagel of Richmond, Ohio; and Mrs. Nola Whitehill of Los Angeles, California; and two brothers: J H and C C Woleslagel, and one sister, Mrs. Matz all of Bellevue, Ohio; and by a host of warm friends.

Funeral services were held in this city Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the home of his son Jason L Woleslagel.  The services were in charge of Mr Avery of Hutchinson.  Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Marie Stewart, Ella Tippin, Harry Hanlon, and Mr McFarland of Cooper College. The floral offerings were very beautiful in keeping with the life of the deceased.

The pall bearers were H Swartz, E K Porter, John Belden, A H Jameson, M P Shaak, and H B Newman of Hutchinson.

The remains were laid to rest in Cottonwood Cemetery.  (Sterling, KS)
