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.

He is the son of Nicholas and Maria (Luehrsen) Hasz, of Hanover, Germany, who emigrated to the United States about 40 years ago. The family located in Loganville during the early days of Wisconsin's history, and the father engaged in farming, and is still a resident of Loganville.

Of a family of eight children, our subject was the fifthe in order of birth, and until about fifteen years of age he attended the parocial school at Loganville. He then went to Milwaukee, and for six years attended the Concordia College of the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states, where he finished the Latin and classical course. He then attended Concordia Seminary at St. Louis three years, devoting himself to theology. He was installed as pastor of St. John's church, of Quincy, August 9, 1895, and is also missionary to the Evangelical Lutheran parishes of Oxford, in Marquette county; Lyndon, in Juneau county; Necedah, Juneau county; Cartolville, Adams county; and the church in Springville township, Adams county. The work extends over a large stretch of country, requiring a drive of about one hundred and fifty miles a week. Mr. Hasz holds confirmation classes, and instructs about four days each week. Since accpeting his charge he has met with excellent success, and has organized the churches at Necedah and Springville, and has built the churches in Quincy and Lyndon.

Mr. Hasz was married September 14, 1898, to Emma Geffert, daughter of John and Dratha (Dargel) Geffert, of Reedsburg, Sauk-WI. Mrs. Hasz's father was born in Barum, Hanover, Germany, and came to America about 1854 and settle in Reedsburg, and purchased land for farming, part of which lies within the city limits.

Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Geffert, Mrs. Hasz being their fifth child in order of birth.

Rev. Hasz is yet a young man, but his labors have already reaped a bountiful harvest, and he is devoted to the cause for which he consecrated his life, and under his guidance the prosperity of his church is assured, and the world made better by his teachings. He has gained many friends in this circuit, and is popular with his people and honored by them. He is deserving of much praise for what he has accomplished, and is a man of earnest, practical nature, and has infused new life into the church, and it is flourishing under his fostering car. It is a pleasure to meet a man whose heart and soul are in his work, when the chosen labors are fraught with benevolence and kindness, and such a one is the subject of this review. Without a thought for his own comforts he goes the round of his parished, performing his duties with cheerfulness and love, and thinking only of the good resulting to mankind.
