      Word was received here last Monday of the death of Rev. S. L. Umbach of this city, at the Deaconess Hospital, Elberfeld, Germany, on August 21st, 1913, after an operation. His son, Rev. E. M. Umbach, was with him at the time and will accompany the body back to Naperville where burial will be made. Passage was taken from Liverpool on August 26th, and the steamer is due at Boston on Thursday. This will probably allow arrival in Naperville on Saturday or Sunday.
