J. W. GERMAN
Former Resident, Died on April 11, 1944

Dent German received word last Wednesday, April 12, that his father, J. W. German
had passed away at the home of his oldest son, Harley J., in Pittsburgh, PA. Mr. German 
was an old resident of Nebraska, having been in business here as manager of the Beetison 
store eight years, and later connected with a shoe store.

He was born in Cuba, New York, Nov. 23, 1851, and departed this life April 11, 1944. 
He was married to Miss Henrietta Owens of Memphis, Nebr., who with two sons preceded 
him in death. There are three sons and one daughter, Harley J., Jefferson D. and Denton C. 
of this city and Bertha M. Parrish left to mourn his loss.

Before coming to Nebraska he had taught school in New York a number of years. 
Then he located in Ashland. After his marriage he and his bride made their home 
in Wymore, Nebr., where he was in business and also served as justice of the 
peace for three years. Later they located in Missouri, where he made his home 
until six years ago when he went to Pittsburgh, PA. Older residents of this city 
no doubt will remember Mr. German as he visited here as long as his health 
would permit.
