Claus, Adolph Henry Claus
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, May 29, 1929
Adolph Henry Claus, son of Henry and Elizabeth Claus, was born May 25, 1852 near Monroefield in Malaga-tp., Monroe county, Ohio, and departed this life on Thursday, May 2, 1929 at the age of 76 years, 11 months and 7 days.
Mr. Claus had not been in good health for the past four years and a few months ago he suffered an attack of influenza from which he did not fully recover, and in fact with a complication of ailments, he grew gradually weaker instead of regaining his customary good health.
Mr. Claus grew to manhood in the community in which he was born and in 1879 was united in marriage with Elizabeth Fleahman. To this happy and blessed union were born six children, four sons and two daughters as follows: Frederick and John of the home; William of Woodsfield R.3; Mrs. George (Katie) Mann, of Jerusalem; Mrs. Charles (Lucetta) Mann, of Miltonsburg; and Oscar, of Woodsfield R.3, all of whom survive him as do also his widow, two daughter-in-law, Mrs. William and Mrs. Oscar Claus of Woodsfield R.3, two sons-in-law, George Mann of Jerusalem, and Charles Mann of Miltonsburg; also two brothers, Justus Claus, of Lower Salem, Ohio; and Fred Claus of Monroefield. There are also eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
All his life, Mr. Claus was in some way connected with the church. In his fourteenth year, he was confirmed into St. Peter?s Evangelical church at Miltonsburg and in 1879 was elected a member of the church and remained active even to his last days. Two weeks before his death he went to Miltonsburg to visit his daughter, Mrs. Mann and attend church, but found after reaching her home he was unable to proceed further.
In 1899 Mr. Claus was elected a trustee of the church and for twenty years he was president of the congregation. Since 1884 he was a continuous and interested reader of ?The Friedenshote? the syndodical church-home magazine.
Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at St. Peter?s Evangelical church of Miltonsburg in charge of his pastor, Rev. Chester Gaum and were largely attended. Seldom is a private citizen more highly honored by the presence of a wide acquaintance of neighbors to whom he was a true and steadfast friend. He was a good husband and father and not long ago, the family celebrated the fiftieth wedding anniversary of their father and mother.
I expect to pass thru this life but once
If therefore there is any kindness I can show,
Or any good I can do to any fellow-being;
Let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it
For I shall not pass this way again.
Card of Thanks-We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to the relatives and many friends for their expression of kindness, sympathy and help during the recent illness and death of our dearly beloved husband and father, Adolph Henry Claus.
We especially thank the pastor, the choir for their beautiful selections, the donors of the beautiful flowers and all who were kind to us in many ways.- Mrs. Elizabeth Claus and Family
