  • Notes 
    • William H. Erbach, one of the most prominent citizens of Baden, whose circle of acquaintances extended far beyond the borders of Waterloo County, passed away last Friday. He had been, for many years the book-keeper in Mr. Livingston's businesses and along with this, also ran an insurance and fuel office. About 23 years ago, he married Charlotta Flowers, who, along with four children, Charlotta, Augusta, Philip, and Herbert, survives him. The father of the deceased, Mr. Philip Erbach, also resides in Baden. The deceased, who attained the age of 43 years, was affected, about one year ago, by Bright's kidney disease, which was, some time ago, accompanied by dropsy. On Friday, he was quite suddenly struck by strong pains of the heart and shortly thereafter, he expired. Burial followed on Tuesday afternoon, with a large attendance.
