• Notes

  The death of Mr. George Fries a well-known and highly respected farmer, took place at the home, near here, last Wednesday evening, August 16th. The deceased, who was in his seventy-fourth year, had been in poor health for some time, but had been up and around almost to the last. The funeral which was largely attended was held from his life-long residence on Saturday morning, at 9 o'clock, to the Lutheran Church and Cemetery. Besides a sorrowing wife he leaves one son, Albert, and two daughters, Louise and Emma, all at home, also 2 sisters in the West, and two brothers, Daniel, of Berlin, and Michael, of Elmira. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family in their bereavement. Unidentified Newspaper Obituary
