Russellville Rustler, Friday, January 3, 1908 The community in general was greatly shocked last Monday afternoon by the sudden death of Jacob Dampf who passed away at the Russellville Hotel between four thirty and five o'clock. Heart failure was assigned as the cause of his death. Mr. Dampf had just finished unloading a load of wheat at the elevator and remarked to Mr. Cremer that he was not feeling very well that afternoon having a severe pain across his chest. The two gentlemen started for the business section of the town when Mr. Dampf became worse and was taken to a room in the hotel. Dr. C.S. Glover was sent for immediately and upon arrival administered several stimulants, but to no avail. Mr. Dampf died in less than twenty minutes after taking sick. Deceased was a good and kind husband and a loving father, a good neighbor and a good citizen and his death will not only be mourned by the immediate family but by the large number of sorrowing friends who gathered around his grave to pay him their last sad respect. Mr. Dampf was 63 years of age and leaves a wife and ten children to mourn his death. The children are: Mrs. Joseph Sabalkey, of Spring Garden; Mrs. Chas. Hitts, of Lohman; Kate, Maggie, Mary, Nesie, Tracy, John, Clemens and Jacob Jr., all of whom reside at the home place two miles northeast of Russellville. Besides these Mr. Dampf leaves three brothers and two sisters and three half brothers. They are: Peter, of Russellville; Garrett, of Corticelli; Phillip, of Versailles; Mrs. Mike Mueller, of Lohman; and Mrs. Herman Brunning of near Russellville. The half brothers are: John, Mat and Wm. Gratz of near Russellville. Deceased was a consistent member of the Catholic Church from which place the funeral was preached at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morning by Rev. Wehner, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Catholic Cemetery near the church.
