  • Notes 
    • MRS. CONRAD MERLAU.

      The unexpected death of Mrs. Merlau, at her home near Nithburg early last Saturday morning, caused general sorrow in that vicinity where she was well known and respected. She had been suffering with a swollen limb but her sudden decease was due to a heart affection. She was in her 54th year, and was a sister of Mr. John Lansz, Philipsburg, Mrs. Kube of this village, being also a relative. Besides her husband she leaves a family of four children. The funeral, on Tuesday, drew out a large concourse, the remains being interred at Alles' cemetery.
