Butte Gazette July 26, 1934
Funeral services were held Monday at the Butte Congregational Church for Christian Fuhrer, who passed away on Saturday of last week (July 21st).
While on his way home from town, he had apparently been overcome by heat and had left his team, and started to walk, carrying some bundles he had with him. The bundles had dropped along the way, one by one, and finally he had fallen, overcome probably by the exertion. Medical attention was given as soon as he was found. Death was caused by heat and heart failure according to the examination.
He was born in Worms, South Russia, in 1862. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Scherer in 1880. To this union 11 children were born, one preceding the parents in death.
He moved to America in 1885. His wife passed away in 1908.
He was married a second time, to Katherine Weisser, nee Hoffer, and to this union five children were born. Mrs. Fuhrer passed away, June 9, 1925.
He was 72 years, 10 months and 27 days of age. For many years he had lived on a farm near the Niobrara river, southeast of Butte, and was a familiar figure throughout the community. He was always cheerful with a ready greeting for everyone, and he had no enemies among his large acquaintanceship.
He is survived by twelve children, William, John, Henry, Richard, Harold, Edward, Arthur, Reuben, Clara, Sarah, Effie Edwards and Emma, one sister in North Dakota, and a number of other relatives and friends.
Rev. Albert W. Swanson was in charge of the funeral services
