      DEATH OF MR. M. LINDNER

      In the death of Mr. M. Lindner, which was chronicled in yesterday's issue, Berlin loses an old and highly respected resident. Though somewhat enfeebled by oldage, he was enjoying his usual health until a few days ago when he contracted a heavy cold, which developedinto pneumonia. On Tuesday morning he felt better, but during the night the symptoms became alarming and on Wednesday morning the assistance of a medicalman was hastily summoned. But too late, as death came a few minutes later. Deceased, who was a member of St. Peter's Ev. Luth. church, leaves to mourn his loss, a daughter, Mrs. C. Bitzer and three sons, Alfred, in Berlin; Arno in Buffalo and Arthur in Rochester. The funeral tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, promises to be very largely attended.

      A long two story building also erected by Philip Roth at the same time the one on the opposite corner. This building was intended for a hotel with the expected coming of the railway. Later it was occupied by a party of Italians who made plaster casts, all sorts of bears, animals, etc., peddling them about the country, the peddler carrying his wares in a large frame on his head. These Italians came suddenly and as suddenly left after a brief stay.

      A house occupied by Rev. Moses Erb, Mennonite Minister, who came from Bridgeport; later a Mr. Lindner who made rocking horses, toys, etc., occupied the building.
