JOHN HENRY NEADERHAUSER - OBITUARY

"John Henry Neaderhauser was the oldest of a family of seven children.  The other children went out from the home, but Henry lived his life in Tiffin township, 'Old Tiffin,' as he proudly called it.

His life as a farmer was not restricted for he was a great reader and traveled more than most farmers.

He knew his country and her history and was an ardent patriot.  In early years he paid a long visit to the Southland.

For months he was a guard at the Chicago World's Fair.  He was sergeant at arms at the convention in Chicago that named Roosevelt for president.  He was a veteran of the Spanish American war.  Nearly every year he visited some large city as delegate to patriotic societies.  He was a student of the Acts of Congress and knew the names of nearly all of our country's legislators.  He had a remarkable memory for facts, dates, names and faces.

In politics and religion, no one could be in doubt as to what side he was on.  He was out and out a party man though without any prospect of office for himself.  He simply loved politics, and debate and Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt were statesmen he especially loved.

He was a consistent church and Sunday school worker all his mature years.  Big hearted and generous, he loved to promote the success of others.  He was a friendly man and hence won friends and held various local positions of trust and honor.  He had been recently appointed administrator of his father's estate.

He will be sorely missed by his aged mother and the three remaining children of his father's family, but most sorely bereaved are his own four young daughters and their mother."
