• Notes

  THE MONROE COUNTY NEWS Thursday, May 23, 1912 MAX LOEB Max Loeb was born February 24, 1844, in Ungstein, Germany, and came to America in 1864, settling first at St. Louis, Mo., and a little later at Marion, Ohio, where he was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Oppenheimer, April 29, 1874. Their two oldest children, Ida and Eugene, were born in Ohio, and in January of 1876 Mr. Loeb moved to Albia, Iowa, which place has been the family residence since then. They went to housekeeping in a cottage across the street where the Bartram residence is now located and lived there for several years. Later Mr. Loeb built a large residence on North Main street where they lived till seventeen years ago he erected his present modern home on South Clinton street and where the family has spent many pleasant and happy seasons together. While a success in business Mr. Loeb was essentially a home man. He provided every comfort and every luxury that his family might be induced to look upon the home as the most ideal life in existence and his ambitions were more than realized. He was a citizen interested in the upbuilding of the community and always approved and worked for every municipal advancement that would accrue to the general welfare of growing Albia. For his unstinted generosity and interest in that direction he will be remembered by the citizens as a man of worth and truest integrity. He will be missed in the community and by his many friends for his uplifting influence and his example of fidelity and honesty and in the home his place can never be filled by another. His bereaved widow and children have the sincere sympathy of all in this their greatest earthly loss and deepest sorrow. Mr. Loeb died from the effects of gangrene that set in on the great toe of his right foot several months ago. Medical skill was unable to stay the poison and while hopes were entertained for his final recovery until the member had been amputated, the inevitable end drew alarmingly nearer until death came peacefully and the patient slept away the last hours of his life and passed from the mortal existence May 15, 1912. Rabbi Manleimer of Des Moines was called and conducted a short funeral service at the family residence Friday morning at eight o'clock . Words of comfort were spoken to the bereaved ones and a fit eulogy was pronounced over the bier of a good man who had left a legacy of a life well lived a character well moulded and rounded out in his business relations and a sweet service to his loved ones that far surpassed the treasures of this world and would serve to keep green his memory after his body had long mouldered into dust. The remarks fitted well the life and deeds of the affectionate husband and doting father whose voice was stilled by the relentless power of death. The magnificent flowers attested the true friendship of those with whom the deceased had been associated. Aside from those provided by the family and relatives offerings came that seemed a benediction upon the life of one that all loved and admired. The funeral cortege which was in charge of Zook & Humeston, was a long procession of friends and business men and lodges as it marched solemnly through the streets to the C. B. & Q. depot where the remains were taken to Des Moines for burial. When the capital city was reached they were met by many friends and carriages and all were driven to the Jewish grounds where another service was held in the chapel and the remains were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery of that city. May his ashes rest in peace. Max Loeb was called the pioneer clothier of Albia. He went into business on the corner he owned at the time of his demise, and during all these years he has shown a business ability unsurpassed by any firm in the city. He began modestly enough at first. He was a cautious buyer, a good seller and had the determination to make for himself a name that would be a credit to the community. How well he succeeded was shown by the regrets expressed when he became alarmingly ill and when he passed from life men of all conditions and financial standing bowed their heads in sorrow for the passing of a pioneer in business and a man of sound integrity that would be a signal loss to the community. He leaves his sons well versed in the business to care for its responsible duties and they are good business men. Mr. Loeb leaves to mourn his departure his widow and the following named children: Mrs. Ida Loeb of Hutchison, Kas. ; Eugene, Elmer, Miss Cora and Jack of Albia. Wallace passed from life nine years ago last November, and an infant daughter, Rosaline, died a number of years ago. The grandchildren are: Maraline and Beatrice, daughters of Mrs. Ida Loeb; and Eugene Jr., son of Eugene Loeb. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were: Ely Oppenheimer, Buffalo, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. S. Oppenheimer, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Oppenheimer, Mr. and Mrs. Ely Oppenheimer, Chariton, Iowa; Julius Oppenheimer, Jefferson, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Morris Loeb, Mrs. Louis Well, Oelwein, Iowa; Julius Lehginan, Chicago Heights, Ill.; Mrs. Fred Wolff, Adolph Levy, Chicago, Ill.; H. Ettenson, Mr. and Mrs. B. Phillips, St. Joseph, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Block, Atlantic, Iowa; Fred Boldes Lake City, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Ely Kaufman, Mrs. Ben Gradwohl, Miss Jessie Gradwohl, Knoxville, Iowa; Miss Rheo Oppenheimer, Chariton, Iowa. ----- Through these columns we desire to extend our beautiful thanks to the Albia Business Mens Asso., The Masonic, Odd Fellow and Workmen fraternities also to each and every citizen, neighbor and friend for their many courtesies and kindness shown us during our sad bereavement.
