Notes for Tobias Schleper:
Some people believed that Tobias Schleper was an alcoholic.
According to "Der Nordstern," on October 20, 1904, translated from German:

"On Tuesday, early in the morning, Tobias Schleper was found close to death by his sons in one of his fields. The day before Mr. Schleper had gone by team and wagon from the Backes farm where he lived as a tenant, the four miles to Richmond and had started towards home in early everning in sober condition. When the horses arrived home without him, his sons went to look for him. They found him about 40 acres from here lying by a truss of straw, in bad condition. When Mr. Schleper saw his sons, he said a few words which they could not understand, and then he lost consciousness. In spite of a doctor's attention, he died an hour later.

"The deceased was born about 51 years ago in Calhoun County, Illinois, and came as a small child with his parents to Stearns County, where he has lived since then.

"His saddened wife and five children are grieving about his sudden and unexpected death, so is his 82 year old father and several siblings.

"The funeral will be on Thursday morning from Ssts. Peter and Paul church.

"May this man, so suddenly called back from his life, find a mild judge in the next.

"The 'Nordstern' extends its sincere condolences to the family."
