Karl Nuss, the youngest of the 12 children of Johann Friedrich Nuss and Julia Nuss nee Neuwert, was born on the 11th of November, 1890 near Marion, Kansas. In the year 1903, the family moved to Hamilton County, Kansas and returned from there in the year 1907 and bought a farm near Lehigh. During the World War, the deceased served his Fatherland in the Army from the 5th of August, 1918 until the 5th of February, 1919 in Camp Funston, Kansas and Camp Dodge, Iowa. On November 6, 1919 he married Anna Matz. This marriage was blessed with three children, a daughter, which died during early childhood, and two sons. The deceased was baptized and confirmed to the Lutheran confession by the late Pastor H. J. Theel on the 12th of December, 1919, and through the Grace of God, he kept this faith to his death. His death was the final end of an illness which lasted 4 months, although the first signs of his illness reach back much further. He searched for relief at the Veterans Hospital at Wichita, Kansas as well as in Maywood, Illinois, but in both places the doctors could only tell him "TAKE CARE OF YOUR AFFAIRS, FOR YOU WILL DIE SOON". This he did with great care and he did not forget to prepare himself spiritually. Then, when the Lord called him Tuesday, the 12th of November, his prayer for relief was answered. He had also wished to live passed his 50th birthday; he died one day later. The mourning relatives are: his sad widow, two sons, Allen and Leland, five brothers and sister, Mrs. Katie Walters and David Nuss from Wilson, Kansas. Rienhard Nuss and Mrs. Theodore Skibbe from Wellington, Kansas; and Heinrich Nuss from Newton, Kansas. Two brothers and four sisters died before him. Furthermore, there are three brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law, twenty seven (27) nephews and 21 nieces and other relatives and friends. On Sunday, the 17th of November he was layed to rest. Many people came to his funeral and Pastor R. E. Tungel spoke words of comfort and quoted John 15:5 in which Jesus speaks about the grapevine and it's fruit. The family of the deceased would like to thank everyone, who helped carry their heavy burden during these trying days. "Blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord, from now on; Ye spirit speaks; they are resting from their work and their deeds shall follow them."
