On Friday, April 23rd at about
3:20 p. m. the Gsim Reaper Death
laid his chilly palms upon one, that
apparently enjoyed robust health a
few days prior. At this precise time
John Leo Gramann was fighting his
last battle in the Sacred Heart Hos-
pital here, where he had undergone
lan operation for appendicitis, super-
induced or ggravated by what was
thought to be potomaine poisoning.
We understand that he had suffered
iwith attacks of this so prevalent
disease for some time past. Even
his parents and his closest friends
this was not known, and so his rath-
er sudden demise came as a shock to
them as well as to the entire com-
munity.
IIans, as he was familiarly known
to his colleagues and fet,ow towns-
men, was a native of Aviston, hav-
ing been born there on Dec. 9, 1889,
he had consequently passed his thir-
ty sixth mile stone of life. He was
the sixth child of our Ven. Former
teacher Hy. Gramann. licre, in the
place of his birth he rtceived his
education, principally a tbe hapds
of his now aged father. }[ere he
received bis religious training under
tb guidance of Ft. Lohmann of
blessed memory. Here he made his
firs adventures in the business world.
His lat yearg were spent as a travel-
ing aiesmau for the Win. Brockmey-
er Cigar Co. of St. Louis, and though
!this work kept him away from home
tb major part of his time. yet the
parental roof was ever his home. The
week end and beginning was spent at
hame ith his parenr.s practically
without fail. These aged parents that
in the course of the past few years
have been frequented by numerous
vicissitudes will undoubtedly receive
the brunt of the blow, as to them he
was ever dutiful son a pillar of sup-
*orL
The floral offerings, quite profuse
and elaborate, several of which hav-
ing been sent by his employer and
business associates, others coming
from various places, bespoke'his pop-
ularity and amiability. Others sent
spiritual bouquets and numerous
were the letters of eon¢' lence.
Among the later was one from Itis
Grace Bishop Althoff, a former peil
of the aged father, that was especial-
ly prized and appreciated,
The obsequies on Friday, the 27th,
consisting of a Solemn Requiem High
Mass with Fr. Gillen our pastor as
celebrant, and Rev. Loeker, our
former assistant pastor, now of E.
St. Louis, as deacon and ReD. Weg-
matin of Breese as sub-deacon, were
mosz solemn. ReD. Dieterich of
Trenton acted as Master of Ceremon-
ies and the .sanctuary was further
graced by the presence therein of
ReD. Hilgenberg of Beckemeyer and
ReD. Eppmann of Germantown. In
his sermon the ReD. Pastor placed
special emphasis on that part of the
fourth commandment promising tem-
poral blessings to the observer, Since
the deceased had not,.to all appear-
ances, received those temporal bless-
ings, he assured the sorrowing rel-
atives that they might expect for him
a more bounteous eternal reward. He
also made reference to a visit that
deceased had made to him in his rec-
tory at Cairo several weeks ago,
Iwhen he had beheld in his visitor
a
[young man of apparent good health
[with the bloom of youth on his
[cheeks, but that he had not beheld
[the Angel of Death in his company.
.That with all this Angel of Death had
nevertheless conferred many bless-
ings upon him in his last hours. That
not least among these blessings was
the good fortune to lave his father
and mother as well as sisters and
brothers at his bedside praying for
him in his last agony and to have
the consolations of that other moth-
er, the church to minister to his last
[neighborhood.
I Among those to mourn his loss are
the aged parents Mr. and Mrs. Hy.
Gramann, Caeclia, wife of Prof Koch,
of Bartelso und family, Prof. An-
thony Gramann and family, Theresia
wife of Mr. Frank Zurliene, and fam-
ily, of Aviston; Benedict Gramann
and family of Beardstown, Ill., Mrs.
Mary Barker of Whitehall, N. Y. who
owing to illness was unable to at-
tend, Hendrina, wife of Mr. John
Kellett of Gillespie, Ill., and family,
Miss Anna Gramann of St. Louis;
Prof. Fred Gramann, Pio Nono Col-
lege, St. Francis, Wis., Arnold Gra-
mann and family of Beardstown, Ill.,
Miss Rosa Gramann, who resides
with her parents ,and many other
relatives and friends. We extend to
these our sincerest sympathy and
close with the prayer Requieseeant in
peace.
A Friend.
FARM BUREAU
Twenty Farmers Attend Centralia
Field Meeting
Twenty busy farmers left their
fields last Tuesday, April 20 to at-
tend the meeting at the Centralia
H(:.ian fly experiment field to see
what would have happened if all
wheat had been sown early last fall.
At the Centralia field, which is main-
rained by the government about one
milc wes of Contrails in this coun-
ty, plots side by side were sown to
wheat of the same variety on the foL
lowing dates:
September 1
Septenber 15
September 21
September 26
October 2
' October 6
October 10
October 15
October 20
The wheat sown OCtober 2, 6, 10
and 15 looks the best at this time,
l altho that sown October 2 has a
slight infestation of Hessian fly,
lwhile that sown later has none. The
!plots sown on September 1, Septem-
I ber 15 and September 21 are almost
bare due to tha killing of the wheat
by the Hessian fly.
The significant fact about the
whole field is that the wheat sown on
October 2 is actually better than that
so' ,z on September 26.
This shows that if farmers had
sown their wheat starting about Sep-
tember 20, they wouId not have as
good wheat prospects as they have
, now and would be raising a big crop
of Hessian fly in addition.
26 Varieties Being Tried Out
Another interesting and entirely
separate feature about the Centralia
field is the wheat variety test and
the search for a variety that will re-
sist the attacks of the Hessian fly.
Twenty six different varieties are be-
ing tried out for this ,purpose. One
drill width of each variety was sown
September 23 and a second drill
width alongside of the first was
sown after the fly free date. This
later sowing should have been made
October 6 but due to the heavy rains
9 of the later sowings in the variety
test were rade October 12 and 17 of
them were made October 20.
It is interesting to note in con-
nection with this variety test that all
of the early sowngs show some fly
damage but not to the same extent.
This means that some varieties are
probably nr damaged as much by
Hessian fly as others. However, so
far no wriety has Tet,been found
that is fly resistant.
