Daniel F. Koller

Daniel F. Koller, son of David and Elizabeth Koller, was born September 15, 1867, near Denmark, Lee County, Iowa. On September 9, 1883, upon his confession of faith he was baptized by the Rev. John C. Krehbiel and taken into membership of the West Point Mennonite Church. In the spring of 1903 he moved with his family to his farm northeast of Donnellson and soon after transferred his membership to the Zion Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful and loyal member to the end. He served his church as a deacon, being elected for two terms, and was a Sunday School teacher for many years.

On November 9, 1899, he was married to Hulda A. Hirschler, who survives him. To this union four children were born: Esther May, who died in infancy; Richard D., Harold A., and Elizabeth, who are all at home. Surviving brothers and sisters are: Henry, John and William, all of Denmark, Iowa; Edward of New England, N. Dak., Mrs. Emma Van Hyning, and Anna, of Denmark. One sister, Elizabeth, preceded him in death.

Funeral services for Mr. Koller, who passed away on March 6, 1933, at 4:15 a. m., at the age of 65 years, 5 months and 31 days, were held in the Zion Mennonite Church in Donnellson, following a brief service in the home, on Wednesday morning, March 8, at 10:30 o’clock. The services were in charge of Rev. Delbert E. Welty, pastor of the Zion Church. — Donnellson Review.
