Bio
Adam Greenwalt Succumbs To A Stroke of Paralysis Adam Greenwalt passed away at his home in this city, Saturday evening, at the ripe old age of 71 years, 7 months and 15 days following several years of poor health, during which time his eyesight became seriously impaired, an attack of paralysis two weeks previous being the cause of his death. Mr. Greenwalt was born in Prussia on August 28th, 1849. Here he resided for 25 years, growing to young manhood and it was in that country he was married to Miss Mary Murach in 1872. In 1874, with his wife and one son, he came to America, settling in Pennsylvania, where he worked in the coal mines for a time. After trying Michigan for a time the Greenwalt family moved to Nebraska in 1880, settling in Pawnee County. They then moved to Howard County in the early '80s, settling on a farm 2-1/2 miles south of St. Paul, where they made their home until 1909, when they moved to town and they resided here ever since. Sixteen children were born to this union, eight of whom survive. They are: Zach, Mary Carkoski, Cashmir, Effie Lamprecht and George of Arcadia, Helen Osterloh of Omaha, and Thomas and William of this city. All were at home for the funeral. In addition to the children he leaves his devoted wife who spent almost half a century at his side as he made his way through this world. She is left a lonely woman and she is entitled to and receiving the sympathy of all friends and acquaintances in her bereavement. A brother and sister also survive. The deceased was among the early settlers of Howard County. He was a great lover of music and gave considerable of his early life to furnishing dance music at social functions throughout the county. His children were taught the art and for several years he maintained a brass band and orchestra, composed mainly of his family. In later years, when the eldest became of mature age and launched out in world's activities for themselves, the organization was disbanded. The funeral was held from the Catholic Church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. John Gleason, local pastor, having charge of the services. At the conclusion of the services at the church the remains were conveyed to the Catholic Cemetery southwest of the city where they were laid to rest. - A combination of the obituaries that appeared in the Howard County Republican on Thursday, March 17, 1921, and in the St. Paul Phonograph on Thursday, March 17, 1921.
