Funeral services for Mrs. Harry Bossert, 53, Lancaster, will be held Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Bethlehem Evangelical and Reformed church at Lancaster. Burial will be inthe Boice Prarie Cemetery. Rev. John A. Gerber of Lancaster and the Rev. J.J. Lippoldt of Platteville will officiate. Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Hoskins Funeral Home. Mrs. Bossert died early Tuesday evening, after having suffered a stroke several weeks ago. She was thought to be improving and news of her death came as a shock to her Cassville friends. Mrs. Bossert was born March 7, 1894, a daughter of Christian and Amelia Bryhan. Survivors are the husband, a daughter, Ruth, a high school senior; two sons, Harlyn of Racine and Louis of Potosi, two brothers, Elmer Bryhan, Lancaster, Art Bryhan, Potosi, and a sister, Erme Bryhan, Lancaster. The Bosserts were long-time residents of the Cassville area, moving to Lancaster last fall."

Notes:

Married:
Jo Peck writes that "Clara and Harry Bossert were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christian BRYHAN, in South Lancaster at high noon, and marched down the stairs to the playing of the march by the twin sister of the groom. Clara wore "white georgette, crepe trimmings of white messaline and veil and carried a huge bouquet of cream rosebuds. The worthy young couple will go to housekeeping on the Bossert farm after returning from their honeymoon in Minnesota...the bride, though a stranger in this locality, has won many friends during her short calls here."

Notes:

Jo Peck writes that Joe was tall and spare, with blond hair and blue eyes. He left the family farm in 1887 to work as a foreman for a dairy farm in Pipestone, Minnesota. He returned home when his father became ill and could no longer farm. He was semi-retired over half his life, and was a well-known figure driving his Model T around Grant County.
