Note: Henry, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Letzerich, died Saturday night and on Sunday afternoon the remains were interred in the new cemetery, Rev. Father Lennartz officiating. The lad had been an invalid all his life, entirely helpless, and for the past year under constant treatment. Death to him, came as a relief and the parents are consoled with the fact that the little is at rest, sleeping in the arms of his Saviour. Friends and relatives were in attendance upon the funeral.

Note: Husband Joins His Wife After Six Weeks

Wm. Letzerich of La Grange, died at the family residence in this city last Saturday, June 4, just six weeks after Mrs. Letzerich�s death, which occurred Tuesday, April 26th. The hand of fate is in evidence here; Mr. Letzerich, at the time of the death of his wife, was not in good health, and gradually declined. He drifted into that long sleep without much struggle. Sunday afternoon the funeral was held from the old home, and interment was made in the new cemetery, Rev. S. A. Zientek officiating. Mr. Letzerich lived in La Grange for more than fifty years; he was a carpenter by trade and well trained in his line of work, there are still in our little city, many homes that were erected under his supervision. He was also one of the contractors who erected the concrete approach to the old river bridge at the west end of the city. He retired several years ago and while still very active up to within a year past, did not engage in any public work. He was one of the charter members of the old La Grange Fire Company, No. 1, few of whom still live. His living children are: Sybilla, wife of Gerhard Balzer of Robstown; Mrs. Jane, wife of H. Worthington of Corpus Christi; Dennis of Jacksonville; Mrs. Julia, wife of Louis Richers of Bay City, and Emil, who lives with his sister at Bay City. One brother, Hy. Letzerich, superintendent of the La Grange Compress and 17 grandchildren also survive. Plain, Hones, a good citizen; may he rest in peace. To the surviving relatives, our sincere sympathy is offered. [La Grange Journal, Thursday, June 9, 1932]

Resolutions of Respect

RESOLVED, that the La Grange Fire Department record its profound respect for William Letzerich and its sense of great loss through his death. He set an example of service and self-sacrifice which is inspiring. He was a good active fireman and of late as an honorary fireman was active in all matters.
The La Grange Fire Department extends to the members of his family their deepest sympathy and join with them in mourning the loss not only as a splendid member of our fire department, but as a most excellent citizen.

RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be spread on the minutes of the La Grange Fire Department, one copy be sent to his family and also be published in the La Grange Journal and the Fayette County Record.

Respectfully submitted,
Theo. W. Lueders,
J. R. Steinbrook,
Alfred Janssen.

Note: Honored, Good Citizen Suddenly Claimed by Death
Funeral services Thursday Afternoon

In our last issue there was a brief item stating that Mr. August Lichey, prominent and popular farmer of the New Bielau community, had died very suddenly of paralysis, at noon Wednesday. At that time we were able to glean but few particulars. Mr. Lichey�s funeral took place at the New Bielau Cemetery Thursday afternoon and was attended by a large crowd of mourning relatives and friends, Rev. Paul Piepenbrok, Lutheran minister, officiating in a touching burial service. From particulars learned later, it seem that Mr. Lichey, assisted by Mr. Otto Christen, a neighbor, were engaged in butchering a hog at the Lichey home. A call to dinner caused them to stop their work, and Mr. Lichey was in the act of reaching for his hat when the stroke felled him cold in death. The shock of family, relatives and friends over the sudden death of this truly good man is beyond description. The body was conveyed to the family residence near by and tenderly prepared for burial. W. A. Lichey had lived in this section for many years. He was without doubt one of the most popular and best citizens ever possessed by the New Bielau community. A man of quiet temperament, he was never known to have an enemy; a quiet, good citizen, one who never meddled in other people�s affairs, but who had a cheery greeting, a word of counsel or good advice to those in need of same; a man devoted to his family and friends, ever proving the best of neighbors and friends, his loss to the family and community is keenly felt, and coming so close on the heels of the death of another good citizen of that community, a near neighbor of the Licheys, it has saddened all. Mr. Lichey is survived by his widow and eight children, as follows: Ernst, of Weimar; Rudolf, of Moravia; Robert, of New Bielau; Mrs. Ed Teichmann of Hackberry, Mrs. Henry Menke of Baytown, Misses Elsa, Helen and Erna, of New Bielau; four sisters, Mrs. H. Leppin and Mrs. H. Feidler, this city; Miss Carolina Lichey, New Bielau, and Mrs. Robert Braunlig of Germany, and two brothers, Paul Lichey, of this city,and Herman Lichey, living in Germany. To the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy is extended. [Weimar Mercury, Friday, November 26, 1926]
