Obituary, Karolina Bettenhausen, 1896
<p>The Family of Bill Dean Collection includes many death notices cut out of mostly German-language newspapers. This obituary tells of Karolina Bettenhausen's death in 1896, at the age of seventy-two. She might have been a wife of the pastor in the German Methodist Church of Humboldt, Nebraska and her obituary went into the collection because the Schuetz-Sutorius-Harms families were very active in church.</p>
<p>The family began with Gottlieb Schuetz and Anna Parli who came from Canton Berne, Switzerland to Humboldt, Nebraska in 1870. A son of soap manufacturers Hans (John) Schuetz and Magdalena Luthi, Gottlieb was born in 1838 in Canton Berne, Switzerland. He married Anna Parli, also from Canton Berne, in 1863 and immigrated to Humboldt, Nebraska in 1870. Their daughter Maria (Mary) Schuetz, born in 1867 in Switzerland started the Dean family line marrying German-born Dirk Sutorius in 1889. Sutorius' daughter Emma, born in 1890 married a recent emigrant from Germany (1908) Edo F. Harms in 1914. All three generations lived in Humboldt, Nebraska in close proximity with various relatives (Emma Sutorius's uncle John Schuetz lived right next door to her family according to the 1930 census).</p>
<p>First settled in 1855, Humboldt, Nebraska is very close to the Nebraska borders with the three states: Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas. The town was a home to a vibrant immigrant community uniting people from Germany, Switzerland, Bohemia, and later Czechoslovakia, England, and various other places in the United States and beyond. The German-speaking community organized around the German Methodist mission that established a church in Humboldt in 1879, of which Gottlieb Schuetz was a member and maybe even a pastor.</p>

Obituaries and Death Notices, Carl Christian Schuetz, 1895
<p>The Family of Bill Dean collection includes many death notices cut out of mostly German-language newspapers. These four notices tell of Carl Christian Schuetz's death almost two years after he sustained injury in a tornado. A barn collapsed on him, and although he was still alive after his family took him out he was paralyzed and crippled. The whole community sympathized with the family suffering and the funeral was very large, showing that this was an unusual happening in the Humboldt community.</p>
<p>Born in 1881 Carl Christian Schuetz (called "Little Christ" in one of the articles, probably because of his long suffering) was the eighth child in the family of Swiss immigrants Gottlieb and Anna Schuetz. He died at the age of fourteen on April 11, 1895. His elder sister Maria was a maternal great-grandmother of the Bill Dean family.</p>
