      From THE DAILY TELEGRAM, December 19, 1944, pg. 4, col. 2

      John Lusche, 78, member of a pioneer family of Platte and Colfax county, died at 6 p.m. yesterday at Lutheran hospital. He had suffered a broken hip Dec. 7 and entered the hospital at that time. Death resulted from complications.

      He was born Oct. 11, 1866, on a homestead 11 miles northeast of Columbus in Bismark township on Shell Creek, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lusche. He grew to manhood there and made his home on his father's farm until his marriage Feb. 8, 1889, to Miss Rosalie Lueke, a resident of Colfax county. Mr. Lusche spent most of his life in Platte county and about 10 years ago retired from farming. He and Mrs. Lusche have since made their home at 3209 Sixteenth street.

      Mr. Lusche was a devout member of the Lutheran faith and though at present resided quite a distance from his church, still held his membership at St. John's Lutheran church, where he and Mrs. Lusche were married. Mr. Lusche served for 15 years on the school board of district 2, in addition to serving for many years as township assessor and on the church board.

      He is survived by his wife; two daughters, Mrs. C.A. DeLand and Mrs. Theodore Kaufmann, both of Columbus; two sons, Arthur of Duluth, Minn., and Chauncey, of Columbus; eight grandchildren; three great grandchildren; one brother, George Lusche of Columbus; and two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Loseke and Mrs. Herman Muhle, both of Columbus.

      Funeral services will be held at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at Gass chapel and at 2 p.m. at St. John's Lutheran church, 11 miles northeast of Columbus. Rev. William Goede, pastor, will officiate and burial will be in the parish cemetery.

      The body will lie in state at the Gass funeral home from 10 a.m. Wednesday until the hour of service. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
