GUS. VOLLMER'S FUNERAL
"There was a large turnout at the funeral of Gus. Vollmer yesterday. The hearse was preceded by the members of the Wall Halla Grove, U.A.O.D., in regalia, headed by the St. Joseph band, executing a funeral dirge in grandly artistic manner. A long line of carriages, occupied by sincere mourners, lengthened out the procession to the extent of nearly a mile. Rev. Charles Nestel, pastor of the First German Evangelical Church, officiated at the grave, and at the conclusion of the divine ceremonies, the Druids proceeded with their beautiful and Impressive burial service, the chaplain, Charles Schorr, officiating. St. Joseph has seldom witnessed a more imposing funeral."
Gustav Vollmer was the only son of four children. He was a cigar maker by trade. He probably learned this trade in St. Louis, Missouri.
He was drafted as a soldier in the Civil War and was in the army under German General Siegel. This general was not known as a quality leader but was apparently very good at getting the new German immigrants to join his regiment.
He married Bertha Reutimann April 17, 1846 in St. Louis, Missouri. Around 1875 or 1876, the family moved to St. Joseph, Missouri where he opened a cigar factory and store at 1007 North 3rd Street where the family lived for several years. (This building is no longer standing) Gustave died in this house in 1879. The funeral services were conducted by the Lodge of which he was a member.
