ROBERT HUNTZICKER DIES VERY SUDDENLY
The entire community was shocked and grieved to learn of the sudden
death of Robert HUNTZICKER which occurred Monday evening, Sept. 21,
at about seven o'clock. Mr. HUNTZICKER had not been entirely well
for a number of years but had been up and around as usual on the
day of his death. He has been a sufferer with diabetes for some
time which had undoubtedly weakened the heart, causing his sudden
death.
Mr. HUNTZICKER was one of Greenwood's most prominent citizens, was
president of the Farmer Merchants Bank, and a very likeable
citizen. His sudden death came as a great shock to the immediate
relatives and friends.
He is survived by two brothers and one sister, beside many other
relatives and friends. One brother, John HUNTZICKER, also died of
heart failure on February 5, 1924.
***also, from a scrapbook, Source unknown:
Robert Carl HUNTZICKER, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
HUNTZICKER, was born May 23rd, 1881 at the home farm south of
Greenwood and died at his residence in Greenwood, Sept. 21, 1925 at
the age of 44 yrs., 3 mo., and 28 days.
His boyhood and manhood were spent at the home farm. He went to
school at what is now Eaton District. Later graduated from the
Business University at La Crosse, May 25, 1901.
He with the aid of his brother and sister continued the development
of the home farm, considered one of the finest in Clark County. At
the time of his death he was president of the Farmers Merchants
Bank.
"Rob" HUNTZICKER was one of our most upright and useful citizens.
Of rugged honesty, strict integrity and all the attributes of
sterling character. His charity was as broad as his noble manhood.
His loyalty was as true as steel, and his faithfulness to his
duties and obligations and friendships were constant and unfailing.
And we who knew him best knew that every leaf of his life was
written clean.
He leaves to mourn his loss two brothers and one sister, William
and Clara of Greenwood and Albian of Ivanhoe, Minn. Numerous
relatives and hosts of friends.
The funeral services were held at the home Sept. 25, 1925, at 2:00
P. M. conducted by Rev. Black, pastor of the Presbyterian church in
Marshfield and interment was made in the Greenwood Cemetery.
"I can not say and I will not say, that he is dead--He is just
away. With a cherry smile, and a wave of the hand, he has wandered
into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair. It needs
must be since he lingers there. And we, Oh we, who with wildest
yearn for the old time step, and the glad return think of him
faring on as dear in the love of There, as the love of Here. Think
of him still, as the same I say: "He is not dead--He is just
away." James Whitcomb Riley
