      ________________________________

      GROTELUSCHEN-GROTELUESCHEN

      There are two variations in spelling. The information from a German source indicates that the spelling in Germany was and still is GROTELUSCHEN with the "u" having an umlaut (") over it. The umlaut is a diacritical mark that is added to a vowel that changes the sound of the German vowels a, i, o, and u. The variation in spelling came from the fact that there is no umlaut in the English language. For a phonetically correct English substitution, an "e" was added. The variations caused some problems. Other German names have the same characteristic. There is no definite answer as to which spelling is correct and neither is more correct than the other.

      From THE COLUMBUS (NE.) JOURNAL, August 20, 1902-

      GROTELUSCHEN - John Groteluschen, one of the old settlers of Platte county, died at his home on Shell creek last Wednesday, his ailment being Bright's disease of the kidneys, after one year's illness.

      Mr. Groteluschen was born April 29, 1831, in Oldenburg, Germany, and came directly from there in 1866, to his farm in this county which he took as a homestead and on which he lived to the time of his death.

      Mr. Groteluschen leaves a wife, four sons and six daughters to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and kind father. The sons are: Louis, Adolph, Emil and Otto; the daughters, Mrs. Ida Otte, Mrs. Lena Loseke, Mrs. Lizzie Loseke, and Misses Rosa, Bertha and Minnie. All live in this county with the exception of Louis who resides in Audubon, Iowa. There are also seventeen grandchildren who will remember their grandparent with reverence.

      Funeral services were held at the German Lutheran church Friday at 12 o'clock, Rev. Friese conducting the service. The funeral was largely attended, over two hundred carriages, filled with sorrowing friends and acquaintances of the deceased, following the remains to their last resting place.
