Henry F. Rust, aged 78, who has been ill for some time, passed away, Tuesday night. The remains will be laid out at the Hack Funeral Home until Saturday, when the funeral services will take place. Burial will be in the Beecher Mausoleum. Definite funeral arrangements have not been ascertained, but information will be available at the Hack Funeral Home.
Editor’s note: We never found a complete obituary. Can you help us learn more about Henry’s life? His census records of 1910 (age 45), and 1920 (age 55) list him as a general farmer. The 1930 census (age 66) lists him as a patient at the Kankakee State Hospital. We can’t find him in the 1940 census.

Wife: Emma (Meyer) Rust
Sister & Brother-in-law: Minnie (Rust) Hunte & Henry F. Hunte
Father & Mother-in-law: Diedrich Meyer & Wilhelmina (Bock) Meyer
