Henry Paulus-Obituary Henry Paulus, 69, Died in Chicago Hospital Henry Paulus, 69, native and many years resident of Newton County but who about 37 years ago, purchased and with his family moved onto a farm two miles west of Rensselaer (Jasper County, IN) died at seven o'clock Friday evening the 30th (April 1937), in the Billings Hospital, Chicago Illinois, where he had been a patient since the first of January. For many years Mr. Paulus was the victim of gall bladder and glandular ailment complicated with a malignent growth. While in the hospital he submitted to two operations and blood transfusions, his condition being quite critical during these ordeals. Recently however, he had shown indications of improvement and it was thought that he might soon be able to be brought home with prospects favorable for a gradual recovery when a relapse occured that terminated in his death. Funeral services were conducted from the W.J. Wright Chapel, Rensselaer, Sunday, May 2nd, with interment at Weston Cemetery. Mr. Paulus was born on a farm in Newton County, October 1st, 1867, the son of Barnhardt and Marguerite (Neibert) Paulus, who had emigrated to this country from Bavaria. Newton County remained his place of residence until his removal across to Jasper County as noted above. In 1894, at which time he was conducting a meat market in Brook, he was united in marriage to Miss Bessie Dunlap of Mt. Ayr, Indiana, who survives him with their three children: Mrs. Lela (Eugene) Huish and LaVerne Paulus, both of Indiana Harbor, Ind. and Keith Paulus of Rensselaer, Ind. He also leaves two brothers: Phillip Paulus of Rensselaer and John Paulus of Whitaker ILL. Also three sisters: Mrs. Mary Stuart, Tennessee, Mrs. Hannah Getting, Watseka, ILL. and Mrs. Emma VanDorn of Harvey, ILL. besides many other relatives. He was an uncle of Mrs. Wm. E. Hazel, Mrs. Stewart Wilson, Mrs. Seth Richcreek and Mrs. Wm. Rheude, all of this place. Shortly after their marriage Mr. Paulus disposed of his meat market in favor of farming and a livestock raising career in which he was eminently successful. His success in all of his endeavors is attributed to his close concentration to them. He had a keen vision of the markets and was very strict in getting out his crops on time and harvesting them on time. He was one of the best corn-raisers in this section and usually raised a large crop of most every variety he attempted. He was also a very successful raiser of swine and other livestock.
