On June 3, 1901, he was united in marriage with Miss Christina Koenig and to this union two daughters were born. Funeral services for Mr. Gaerthoeffner will be held at St. Gregory's church with mass to be celebrated at 9:30 Tuesday morning by the pastor, Rev. Fintan Holzknecht, R.D.M.m and interment will be made in the village cemetery.

FRANCES KATHERINE GNADT (Don't have newspaper name, 1924) Fatal Accident in Home of John Gnadt at St. Nazianz Friday Noon. The explosion of a gasoline tank at the home of John Gnadt in St. Nazianz at noon on Friday caused the death of two children, very serious injuries to their mother and severe burns to their father. The two little daughters, Leona 5, and Frances 3, were so badly burned that the oldest died two hours after the tragedy and the other six hours later. Mr. Gnadt brought from the basement of his home the gas tank of a gasoline stove which he wanted to take to the old mill, where a tractor school was being held. He was quite a distance from the stove when he shook the can to see if it was empty (which it was, with only a few drops in it). When shaking it Mr. Gnadt noticed a spark on the valve and he immediately tried to throw the can into the next room where nobody was, but it exploded before he got it out of his hand. A sheet of flame enveloped the room, and the two little girls who were near their father, where horribly burned and suffered terrible agony until death came. The mother, who was nearby, received the full force of the explosion and the flames seared the flesh off her face, hands and lower limbs. According to Dr. W.A. Rauch, who was called after the accident, her condition is still serious. The husband with his head a mass of burns and the hand that held the can charred badly led his screaming family from the house and rolled them in a snow bank until he had extinguished the flames. The report of the explosion was heard by neighbors who rushed to the Gnadt home and summonded help. Gnadt is 35 years of age, and his wife 33. They had seven children. The five living range in age from a year and a half to 12 years. The mother is still in ignorance of the fact that her two children are dead. She believes they are suffering from burns and confined in a bed in another room in the home. The explosion of the gasoline can wrecked the stove and the interior of the kitchen.

LEONA ANNA GNADT (Don't have newspaper name, 1924) Fatal Accident in Home of John Gnadt at St. Nazianz Friday Noon. The explosion of a gasoline tank at the home of John Gnadt in St. Nazianz at noon on Friday caused the death of two children, very serious injuries to their mother and severe burns to their father. The two little daughters, Leona 5, and Frances 3, were so badly burned that the oldest died two hours after the tragedy and the other six hours later. Mr. Gnadt brought from the basement of his home the gas tank of a gasoline stove which he wanted to take to the old mill, where a tractor school was being held. He was quite a distance from the stove when he shook the can to see if it was empty (which it was, with only a few drops in it). When shaking it Mr. Gnadt noticed a spark on the valve and he immediately tried to throw the can into the next room where nobody was, but it exploded before he got it out of his hand. A sheet of flame enveloped the room, and the two little girls who were near their father, where horribly burned and suffered terrible agony until death came. The mother, who was nearby, received the full force of the explosion and the flames seared the flesh off her face, hands and lower limbs. According to Dr. W.A. Rauch, who was called after the accident, her condition is still serious. The husband with his head a mass of burns and the hand that held the can charred badly led his screaming family from the house and rolled them in a snow bank until he had extinguished the flames. The report of the explosion was heard by neighbors who rushed to the Gnadt home and summonded help. Gnadt is 35 years of age, and his wife 33. They had seven children. The five living range in age from a year and a half to 12 years. The mother is still in ignorance of the fact that her two children are dead. She believes they are suffering from burns and confined in a bed in another room in the home. The explosion of the gasoline can wrecked the stove and the interior of the kitchen.
