Note: Ferd. Michalke, 85, Buried Here Monday

Funeral services for Mr. Ferdinand F. Michalke, 85, one of this area's oldest farmers, were held in St. Michael's Church Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Interment was made in St. Michael's Cemetery, with the Rev. Emil Vinklarek, assistant pastor, conducting the services. Following a long illness, which kept him confined to bed for the past fifteen months, Mr. Michalke died at the family home Saturday night. His wife had preceded him in death less than two months before, passing away May 19 of this year. Survivors include eight children: Mrs. Alma McGill of Clifton, New York; Mrs. Bertha Frazier of Bernardo; Mrs. Emma Kubenka of Weimar; Mrs. Mary Sebesta of Columbus; Messrs. Otto Michalke of Edna: Fritz Michalke of Schulenburg; and Will and Ed Michalke of Weimar. Four children born to the couple died in early infancy. Also surviving are two brothers. Henry Michalke of San Antonio, and Leopold Michalke of Hallettsville; and fourteen grandchildren. Pallbearers were Rudolf Muehr, Ed Matzke, Richard Muehr, Adam Yackel, Joe Mezik, Sr., and Adolf Matzke. Mr. Michalke was born in Klantendorf, Germany. July 17, 1856. He came to this country with his mother and father at the age of 24 years, landing at Galveston. From Galveston he came to the New Bielau section and for a short time made his home on the old Leidolf farm. From there he moved to the Osage section where he lived for several years, and finally to the farm about a mile from Borden, where he spent the remainder of his life. Mr. Michalke was known to residents of this section as an energetic, law-abiding citizen, a splendid friend and neighbor, and a man who was ever ready to aid those who needed his help. The Mercury extends sympathy to the sorrowing survivors. [Weimar Mercury, Tuesday, July 8, 1941]

Note: George C. Mick
PROMINENT CITIZEN DIED AT HOUSTON

G. C. Mick of Iago Died Wednesday at Houston Sanitarium-Funeral Today.

G. C. Mick, prominent business man and farmer of Iago, died at 7:15 o�clock Wednesday evening at the Baptist Sanitarium at Houston, where he had been taken some days ago for treatment. He had been very ill since about the first of July with gall stones and other complacations, and the end was not unexpected. Mr. Mick with his family moved to this county from Missouri a number of years ago, buying a considerable body of land in the vicinity of Iago, and with his sons a little later engaged in the mercantile business at that point, where prosperity has attended upon their industry. The deceased has always been active in any movement that looked to the better-ment of conditions, and at one time was commissioner of precinct No. 1, neglecting his private affairs to an extent to give his time to the public needs. After one term, however, he declined to again be a candidate and resumed his personal business. Mr. Mick is survived by a widow and several grown sons and daughters and a number of
grandchildren. The funeral will be held from the residence at Iago this afternoon at 3:00 o�clock and interment will be in the Wharton cemetery. At this time it is not possible to prepare a suitable sketch of the life of the deceased, but we will have one in our next issue. Now we can but say that in the passing of G.C. Mick has gone a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father, a true friend, a useful citizen, an upright man. The Spectator, with the citizenship of the county, pays tribute to his memory.

SKETCH OF LIFE OF GEORGE C. MICK

The funeral of Mr. G.C. Mick, an account of whose demise at Houston was contained in last week�s Spectator, occurred last Friday afternoon from the late home of deceased at Iago, and the body was followed to it�s last resting place in the Wharton cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and [sp. acquaintances]. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, attesting the esteem in which Mr. Mick was held. George C. Mick was the son of Peter K. and Caroline Mick and was born August 14th, 1849, in the state of Ohio. His father died in the service of his country in 1863, which threw him on his own resources in his boyhood days. He freighted on the plains of Kansas and in the Indian Territory for several years, returning to his native state in 1873 to care for his invalid mother. She and two sisters died in rapid succession, leaving him the only surviving member of the family. On May 11, 1876, Mr. Mick was united in marriage to Miss Clara Morris of Brown county, Ohio. In 1882 with his family, Mr. Mick removed from Ohio and located in Iowa, but the following year moved to Kansas, where they resided until 1894. In that year they moved to Ray county, Missouri, where they lived until 1907, when they came to Texas, and located in Iago. Besides his widow, Mr. Mick leaves five grown children, namely: Almus C., Geo. G., Fred E., Mrs. C.A. Brockman, Leslie E. Also a boy whom he reared, Irvin Mick Gaston, and eleven grandchildren.

FORMER RESIDENT DEAD

George C. Mick at Iago, Texas, Tuesday Afternoon

S.L. Bay, of this city, received a telegram Wednesday evening from George G. Mick, of Iago, Texas stating that his father, George C. Mick, died at his home near that place Tuesday evening. Mr. Mick had been dangerously ill for several days, but no announcement of his illness had been received by Ray countians until the telegram was received announcing his death, which may come as a shock to his many friends here. Deceased was a native of Ohio, and was about seventy years of age at the time of his passing away. He and his family resided on a farm in the vicinity of Camden several years, and located in Texas in 1905, when he bought a farm consisting of 1,110 acres near Iago. He was an extensive farmer and cattleman in that state and had accumulated a fortune from his labors. He is survived by the widow, three sons and two daughters. Mr. Mick had long been a member of the Christian church and was one of the highly esteemed men of this section when he resided in Ray county. He had many friends here who deplore his passing away and whose sympathy is extended to the bereaved members of the family. Funeral and burial occurred at Wharton, Texas, this afternoon.

Mr George C. Mick of Iago, one of the most prominent citizens and successful farmers and business men of the county, died in Houston at 7:15 Wednesday evening at the Baptist sanitarium, where he had been taken for treatment.
