(Witness) History | | B. Leutzinger, Obituary In the death of Mr B. Leutzinger, Dallas Center has lost one of its most reliable businessmen. After long years of business life in our midst, he died with the respect of all with not a single enemy to say ill of his name. Mr. Leutzinger was born in Netstal, Glarus County, Switzerland Jan 31, 1841 and died June 8, 1900. Consequently at the time of his death he was aged 59 years, 4 months and 8 days. He came to America in 1865 and settled in Marion county, Iowa. In 1868 he married Martha E. Brown at Wheeling in Marion County. Of this union there were born three daughters and four sons, all of whom were home to cheer and care for their father in his last sickness. While he resided in Marion county, Mr Leutzinger was engaged in the boot and shoe business in partnership with his brother Rudolph (ie text says Randolph). That harmonious and pleasant partnership of a score of years was terminated in 1888 by a fire which destroyed the store. Afterwards, in 1890 Mr. Leutzinger moved to Dallas Center and opened a shoe store on his own account in which enterprise he was engaged until his last illness. Mr. Leutzinger was born in a Christian home. He was baptized in infancy and was brought up as a member of the German Reformed church. At the age of 16 he was confirmed in that church. He was a great lover of singing in which he was quite gifted, and he gave very efficient service to the churches in which he labored in this way. Many times during his last illness he assured his pastor and others of his conscious nearness with God. He knew, even before his friends would believe it that he was going to die. Five days before his death he settled all his worldly affairs and made distribution of his property. He then told his friends that he was ready and willing to go. The funeral services were held Sunday morning. There was a brief service of prayer and song at his late home, and then the principal service in the Methodist church. The music was furnished by the members of the two choirs in churches in which Mr. Leutzinger had sung. Rev. Flora offered the prayer. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Morley, pastor of the Methodist church. He took for his text Rev. 14:13 "And I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me. Write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth." The principal use made of the text was in regard to the present state of the one whose body was being committed to the earth, and the comfort that this revelation brings to those that mourn. At Masonic cemetery where the interment took place, the services were conducted by the Masonic order of which Mr. Leutzinger had been a member. The chief part was performed by J. A. Richmond. Thus on a beautiful and peaceful June Sabbath morning, with the storm of the preceding night all passed away, the body of our brother whose night and storm was also past, was tenderly laid away to its last long rest. ============================================ From: The New Times - Dallas Center, Iowa June 16, 1900 =============================================
