Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church for Harry Jansen. Rev. Hal Schenck officiated.

Mr. Jansen was instantly killed when struck by a freight train about three miles east of Creston. He had gone to Leigh in the afternoon and toward evening had been heard to remark that being unable to find anyone driving to Creston, he was going to walk home. He had evidently started soon afterward, choosing to follow the railroad track as the shortest distance. It is assumed that his being bundled up against the severe cold muffled the noise of the approaching train and also that he was watching the ground as he walked because of a sheet of ice that made walking treacherous, thus he neither heard nor saw the approaching train. His sister, Mrs. Geo. Summers, and her family, with whom he lived, were not alarmed at his absence until the next morning.

About noon his body was discovered by the section men. They called Sheriff Herb Person who notified the family.

Harry Jansen was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jansen. He was born June 12, 1902, and died January 19, 1946, at the age of 43 years, six months and seven days. ...

Surviving are six sisters, Mrs. John Carsterson, Genoa; Mrs. John Barrett, Creston; Mrs. Clara Palmateer, Creston; Mrs. Julius Engel, Creston; Mrs. Fred Henry, Columbus; Mrs. George Summers, Creston; two brothers, Herman of Creston; and Henry of Genesco, Illinois.

Pallbearers were DeWayne Jansen, Fred Gigax, Stanley Wagner, Helmer Settje, Dale Barrett, and Vernon Henry. A solo was by Mrs. Elmer Graha

The American Legion of Humphrey was in charge of the military funeral. Burial was in the Leigh cemetery. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
