      Abram Nahrgang

      The death of Mr. Abram Nahrgang occurred very unexpectedly at his home here last Thursday evening, January 29. Though under medical care for a week, he passed away suddenly after the evening meal from a heart attack.

      The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Nahrgang and was born in Wilmot Township on March 12, 1873, being in his 69th year. He spent his early days on the farm and about thirty-five years ago, moved to New Hamburg where he had resided since. Ten years ago he lost his left arm when caught in a threshing machine and had since lived retired.

      Mr. Nahrgang was married three times. His first wife, Laura Waldie, died a year after their marriage and he later married Catharine Brenneman, who predeceased him three years ago.

      Besides his third wife, formerly Mrs. Smee, he is survived by four sons from the second union, Isaac, New Hamburg, Abram of Waterloo, Percy and William of Moline, Ill., 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

      The funeral was held on Monday afternoon from his late home to the Blenheim Mennonite Church for service and interment in the adjoining cemetery. Bishop Moses Roth was in charge of the funeral service.
