LONG TIME COUNTY RESIDENT DIES IN WRAY HOSPITAL.

at the Wray hospital Thursday after a five-day illness. He had been
staying at the Renotta Rest Home in Wray for the past four years.
He was a retired farmer..
Mr. Felderman was a native of Iowa and was married October 20, 1892
at Bellevue to Miss Mary Mangler. They homesteaded that same year
in the New Haven community and five years later took up a homestead
in the Wages community, where they lived until moving to Haxtun in
1946. He was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church..
One son and one daughter preceded him in death. He is survived by
his widow, two sons, Elmer and Theodore, five grandchildren, 12
great grandchildren, and two brothers, Herman and Henry, both of
Bellevue, Iowa..
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon from the Immanuel
Lutheran Church in Haxtun, with Rev. James Pomeroy officiating.
Mrs. John Rahe was organist and a quartet composed of Mrs. Ernst

John, one of six children, four brothers and one sister, born to
William and Sophia Felderman at Bellevue, Iowa, August 31, 1866,
departed this life February 28, 1963, at the Wray hospital having
reached the age of 96 years, six months and 28 days..
Mr. Felderman migrated to Colorado in an immigrant car in this
manner transporting to this new county a few head of cattle and
household goods. In a course of two weeks or so, Mrs. Felderman was
met in Yuma by her husband. Yuma was at the time in its infancy.
They settled on a homestead in the vicinity which is known now as
New Haven..
This, Mr. Felderman knew, was a land of opportunity and with the
fortitude and determination that it took to meet the rigors of
homesteading, he began his life's vocation, raising livestock,
cattle and horses..
After a period of six years, they filed on a pre-emption homestead
in the Wages community and moved to this place three miles south of
the homesite he built a few years later and that now stands, proving
the pioneer spirit he possessed..
He prospered in his ranching abilities and he continued in this line
of business for many years. When the country become more settled
and free range land became a premium, he along with others, began
diversified farming..
In 1932 he and his wife moved to Haxtun, residing there three
years. They then moved back to their farm and lived there until
1946 when they retired and moved to Haxtun, where he spent his
remaining years. Because of ill health he spent the last four years
in a nursing home in Wray..
Mr. Felderman was confirmed as a child in the Lutheran faith and
maintained this faith throughout his life. His companion of more
than 70 years, two sons, Elmer of Yuma, and Theodore of Haxtun, six
grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren, are left to cherish his
memory..
