OBITUARY
Rock County Star -- June 21, 1927
FUNERAL SERVICES HELD for FRED FUST MONDAY
FRED FUST, FORMER RESIDENT OF ROCK COUNTY,
PASSED AWAY IN PIPESTONE FRIDAY
SERVICES MONDAY
Funeral services for Fred Fust, who for a number of years was a resident of Rock County, were held from the J. D. Piepgras home at two o'clock Monday afternoon and from St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church at 2:30 with Rev. Martin Hauser of that church in charge. The pall bearers were John Stamman, Henry Oehlerts, Reinhard Bruning, William Schaeffer, Fred Matthiesen, Sr., and William Stelling. Burial was made in Maplewood Cemetery.
Fred Fust was born in Mecklenburg, Germany on August 31, 1848. He grew to manhood at home in that country, and on Nov. 13, 1874 he was united in marriage to Miss Marie Bunger, also of Mecklenburg, Germany. Eight years later, Mr. Fust came with his family to America, settling on a farm near Dysart, Iowa. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Fust, four of whom survive. They are William Fust of Cayuga, N. D.; Miss Anna Fust, of Cayuga, N. D.; Mrs. Emma Hoeck of Springwater Township; and Mrs. J. D. Piepgras, of Luverne. Two daughters died in early childhood. After Mr. and Mrs. Fust had lived on the farm near Dysart, Iowa for eleven years, they came with their children to Rock County, resuming farming operations in this vicinity.
Mr. and Mrs. Fust made their home at Hardwick for a number of years. Eight years ago, Mrs. Fust passed away, and since that time Mr. Fust had retired from all farming activities.
During the last eighteen months he made his home with his son and daughter, William Fust and Miss Anna Fust, at Cayuga, N.D. A short time ago, however, he began to grow more feeble, due largely to his advanced age, and he came to Pipestone to live at the home of his cousin, Mrs. Hans Hummiller. During the past three weeks he suffered much from a heart complaint, and on Friday of last week, June 17, he suffered a stroke which resulted in his death at about four o'clock in the morning. During his many years of residence in Rock County, Mr. Fust made many friends who held him in the highest esteem. His bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the community.
Among the out of town relatives who attended the funeral were a cousin, Julius Hummiller, and daughters Erma and Eleanor, of Kingsley, this state; Mrs. Hans Hummiller, and George, Lambert, and Miss Elsie Hummiller, of Pipestone.
