  Lisbon Death of Mrs. Jacob Niergarth Intelligence was received here last week of the death of Margaret Riehl, wife of Jacob Niergarth, near Reed City, Mich., and sister of Mr. John Riehl, Sr., of this place. The cause of the death was apoplexy. She was In good health until Monday March 2nd, when she suffered a stroke and was thus unconscious until Thursday following when she peacefully passed away. The late Mrs. Niergarth was born on the old homestead now occupied by her brother John Riehl, about 65 years ago. She was married to Jacob Niergarth about 45 [?] years ago and resided on a farm near Josephburg Township of Wilmot, for about 20 years when they moved to Michigan and settled down on a farm near Reed City, where they have since resided. She leaves a sorrowing husband and nine children--seven sons and two daughters, alt grown up-to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and affectionate mother. Two brothers, John Riehl, of Lisbon, and Michael Lang, of Spokane, Wash. also survive. The late Mrs. Niergarth was of a calm and quiet disposition and a faithful and consistent member of the Evangelical church. The funeral took place on Sunday, March 8th.
