  • Notes 
    • Mr. A. Duench Passes Away

      Untimely and Sad Death of Well Known Young Tailor of City Was in his 32nd Year


      The many friends in this city of Albert Duench will be grieved to learn of his death which occurred at the home of his father-in-law, Jacob Scharlach, 111 Lancaster Street, Sunday evening at 7 o'clock. Deceased was a tailor and until compelled to retire owing to failing health had been employed at Bucknell's custom tailoring establishment. He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and took an active interest in the work of the various societies of the church. About a week ago Mr. Duench was compelled to take to his bed and since that time his condition grew gradually worse until finally the end came yesterday evening. Deceased was born in Wellesley, 32 years ago, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Duench of that place. He is survived by his wife and three small children; also two brothers and one sister, John and Walter Duench and Mrs. August Kudoba, of this city. He is also survived by his father, Henry Duench, of Wellesley. Mr. Duench was a popular resident of the city and had a genial nature which endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. He was an exemplary father and husband and his death comes as a severe blow to his bereaved family. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of Jacob Scharlach and later from St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where services will be held. Interment will be made in Mount Hope Cemetery.
