PASTOR MARTIN HASZ
1925-1929

Pastor Martin Hasz, from Town of Grant, Clark County, was installed into his sacred office on June 7, 1925. Pastor Hasz's ministry was a comparatively short one, but one conscientiously and quietly carried forward. It is noteworthy that God uses a quiet personality from time to time to strengthen the stakes and lengthen the cords of His churchly tabernacle. Mr. Albert Mueller, a member of the past, once described very vividly the sudden death of Pastor Hasz. Oh, the grief of Mrs. Hasz and her stricken family! It is well to remember that the families of pastors and teachers who served through 125 years also carried the trials and burdens which afflict any family---and sometimes in a special way afflict those living in the parsonage or teacherage. By grace we are saved!

on January 8, Pastor Hasz died of a cerebral hemorrhage. His funeral was conducted on January 14, with Rev. Paul Schedler of Fall Creek officiating in a German service and Rev. Otto Schreiber of Suring conducting an English service. Rev. Braem of Rankin and Rev. Stuth conducted graveside services. Elders of St. Paul and St. John, Luxemburg, were pallbearers. Six clergy were honorary pallbearers.

On January 13, it was decided that the following Sunday there would be a collection for memorial for Pastor Hasz.

Members were to give as they wished to cover the funeral expense of Rev. Hasz.

....Mrs. Hasz was to receive $25.00 a month until the new pastor came.

....They were to buy furnishings from Mrs. Hasz that would stay at the parsonage.

On July 7...It was also resolved that a collection should be taken to cover the remaning funeral expense of the departed Pastor Hasz.
