  • Notes 
    • Three Berliners

      Three Berliners were called away by death on Sunday. After a lengthy period of suffering from dropsy, the widow of the late E.A.P. Hagedorn of Williamsburg (deceased 28 years ago) died here. She is survived by eleven children, namely George and Herman in Williamsburg, Charles K. in Berlin, William in Paisley, Mrs. Ludolph in Waterloo Township, Mrs. Einwächter in New Dundee, Mrs. Wieland in Michigan, Mrs. Monk in Elmwood, and Mrs. Y. Stroh in Fischer's Mills, Mrs. Main in Strasburg, and Mrs. J.E. Vogt in Berlin. Burial follows on Wednesday in Mannheim.

      Mrs. Clara Oberholtzer also departed here on Sunday, after suffering for five years from consumption. She was the youngest daughter of widow, Mrs. John Oberholtzer.

      On Sunday, the wife of William Sherk, local resident, was called by death, as a victim of typhoid pneumonia, contracted on a recent visit to Bay City, Michigan. She was a daughter of Mrs. Gaukel, who had a shop on King Street for years. The deceased leaves her husband and a nine-year-old daughter.

      Mrs. Wm. Sherk Passed Away

      After two weeks illness of typho-pneumonia, Mrs. William Sherk, King street east, passed away at 10 o'clock on Sunday night at the hospital. It is thought she contracted the disease in Bay City, Mich., where typhoid is epidemic and from where she had recently returned. Her husband and a nine-year-old daughter are left bereaved. Mrs. Geo. Pequegnat is a sister and two brothers - one at Bay City, and the other at Spokane, are the only other near relatives surviving.

      Her father at one time managed the old Commercial Hotel, on the present Walper site, and her mother was one of the pioneer Milliners in Berlin. Gaukel street is named after her grandfather. The deceased was in her 53rd year.
      The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the residence, King street east, to the German Baptist church and Mt. Hope cemetery.

      Mrs. William Sherk

      The death of Anna Mary Gaukel, the beloved wife of Mr. Wm. Sherk, bookkeeper for Contractor C. Braun took place on Sunday evening, after a comparatively short illness. She was in her 52nd year, and was greatly respected by her neighbors and friends for her unselfish kindness and thoughtfulness for the welfare of others. The funeral will take place from her husband's residence, King street on Wednesday at 2 o'clock p.m. to the German Baptist Church, of which she was a faithful member, thence to Mount Hope cemetery.
