Obituary- Hause, Alfred 2

Rossville lost a friend…

A friend of Rossville slipped away from us last week. Many of us are still in shock over the sudden passing away of Alfred Hause, better known by us as just ‘'Hausey”.

Hausey will be missed. His friendly visit down Main Street almost every day was expected. You could nearly always be sure Hausey would at least open the door for a friendly hello and usually to recite some bit of humor.

To this newspaper, Hausey was a little more than a friend. He was the chief mechanic in the older days when we had the big old iron press and linotype machine. He could always patch them up in one way or other so the newspaper could go to press. Our modern equipment in the later years nearly put Hausey out of work at the Reporter, but he still came around just to see if everything was running smoothly.

Although this newspaper may feel a little special toward Hausey, he was the same friend indeed to many in this area. Other businessmen would depend upon Hausey’s friendly visits and many farmers depended upon him for mechanical service. He belonged to the Rossville Fire Department for so many years that the records don’t go back far enough. He served on the fire department even before the town had trucks. His other big interest in the community was with the Hesperian Lodge.

Rossville will suffer the loss of Alfred Hause; along with him he is taking another business from Rossville. The Rossville Battery Shop operation cannot be run like it was operated before without Hausey. There is no replacement.

Yes, Hausey will be remembered in Rossville for years to come. We’ll miss his wit and humor coming at times when it was needed most. We’ll miss his little visits and we’ll miss his repair work when it was needed most. We’ll just miss Hausey in Rossville, he was a friend!
