farmer of this region, passed away at the St Lukes hospital Sunday after a long

recovered from it and had returned to his home here. Last week he contracted a
cold and was taken to the hospital again where he passed away. He is survived by

of Porterville, CA, and Henry of Edwall. Funeral services were held from

was in Riverside Park Cemetery.

Itzenhauser, Henry A: “Word was received here this week of the passing on Jan 3 of Henry A Itzenhauser at Porterville, CA. Mr Itzenhauser will be remembered as a former resident of the Edwall community for many years prior to his moving to California a few years ago. He was a native of Germany where he was born, May 14, 1877. One brother, Fred, survives him.” (Citizen: 2-03-1950)
Itzenhauser, John: “John Itzenhauser, father of the Itzenhauser brothers and Mrs C Mielke, near Edwall, was born Dec 18, 1838 in Germany. He was married in 1868 to Maria Elizabeth Griesel, which union was blessed with eight children of whom four died in infancy. In 1886 the death angel visited the home once more, this time taking the beloved wife and mother. In Germany Mr Itzenhauser was by occupation a miller. He left Germany with his children for America in 1891 and settled in Tacoma, Wash. About 1900 he left Tacoma for Edwall where his sons had preceded him two years previous to engage in farming. Here he made his home and was kindly cared for. Mr Itzenhauser was a sincere Christian, being led to Christ when in Tacoma under the ministry of rev Joseph Hepp. About that time he united with the German Society of the Methodist Episcopal church of which he was a loyal member until his departure from this to the church triumphant. The cause of his death was tumor of the stomach, from which he had been afflicted for a long time, but which was not discovered or thought serious until a few months ago. His sickness was without pain for which he, his children and his friends were grateful. On June 20th he quietly fell asleep to open his eyes in the happy home above, for which he so much longed in late years. The funeral service was conducted Thursday, June 22nd, from the German church by the pastor, Rev Haueisen of Connell, who also was present, made a short and appropriate address.
