Notes:
Adolph Jacob Marohn was born at Thorn, Germany, July 25, 1857. He came to America when 17 years of age in 1874, and located near Cleveland, Ohio, where he remained four years, coming them to the Black Hills in 1878. He soon thereafter was employed by the homestake Mining company and had remained in the employment of that company until death, covering a space of 36 years, excepting two years, when he was residing on a homestead. In 1888 he was married to Miss Juliet McClure, a school teacher in this part of the state.
To Mr. and Mrs. Marohn were born three children, Roy, Beulah and Lucile. These children have been educated in the public schools of Lead. Three years ago Mrs. Marohn and the three children transferred their resident to Lincoln, Neb., for the purpose of additional school privileges for the children at the Nebraska University. From this institution of learning the daughter, Beulah graduated last spring and she is now teaching the High school of Wood River, Nebr. Mr. Harohn was taken sick with pneumonia Friday, November 28th and after a two weeks struggle with the fatal disease, passed away Friday evening, December 11, age 57 years, 4 months and 3 days.
At his bedside at the time of his departure his wife and children were all present. Mr. Marohn was a man of most sterling qualities, commanding the respect and confidence of all who became acquainted with him or had business dealings with him. He was a good man, a useful man, and an excellent man, most faithful and loyal to the best interests of his family; faithful in the service he most willing gave to his church. He was an Odd Fellow of a fraternal spirit and official prominence, of great worth to the order. A most reliable workman in the employment of the Homestake company for a long period of years; a moral and upright citizen advancing the best interests of the city of his residence, and the country of his choice. In the trail of his life he has left rich deposits of moral worth and spiritual life in the hearts of a vast multitude of people who have known him, have loved him and cooperated with him. His life has helped his fellowmen. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Marohn rise up to call them blessed, and so do a multitude of others. Mr. Marohn gave his life for his family.
