	     Father Klassen Officiated at Last Sad Rites.

Peter Nicklaus, Sr., died last Wednesday night at the Waverly hospital
where he had been taken about noon Wednesday for treatment.  He had
been in poor health and under a physicians care for some time, but had
seemed improved, and his death came as a great shock to his family and
friends.

Funeral services were held at ten o'clock Saturday morning in Saint
Patrick's church. Rev. L. Klassen officiated at Requem High
Mass. Interment was in the Saint Patrick cemetery.

			    Life's History
				   
Peter Nicklaus, son of Bolster and Margaret Smith-Nicklaus was born at
Scales Mount, Ill., Nov. 4, 1863. He came to Iowa when a young man.

In 1894 he was united in marriage with Bertha Brocka.  For forty-two
years they lived on the home farm northwest of town.  By thrift and
industry they made a comfortable home for their fine family of seven
children, three sons and four daughters who survive with the widow.

The children are August P. and William G. near Parkersburg, Margaret
and Peter E. at home, Mrs. Claus Peters, Parkersburg, Mrs. Lloyd
Sinram, Clarksville, Mrs. Leslie Sinram, Aredale.  There are also
eleven grandchildren.

Mr. Nicklaus was a kind and loving husband and father, a good neighbor
and friend. His word was as good as a bond and he was always ready to
lend a helping hand where needed.

His brother, George Nicklaus, preceded him in death in May.

Pall bearers at the funeral Saturday were six nephews, Charles and
Henry Cramer, Peter B. and Fred Nicklaus, Ralph and Joe Nicklaus.
