    Notes:

    Death removed another well-known and esteemed citizen in the person of Mr. Jacob Doersam, who died suddenly this morning at 10: 30 o'clock after a brief illness. Although in ill health during the past few months he was able to be up and about until Thursday, since which time he has been confined to his bed. About a week ago he contracted a severe cold which hastened his death, the direct cause of which was a paralytic stroke. The late Mr. Doersam was born in St. Agatha, Aug, 17th, 1853, removing to Waterloo with his parents when a young man. For fourteen years he conducted a cigar store but about six years ago disposed of the business and the past few years carried on a successful book and stationery business on King St.

    The late Mr. Doersam, who was of an unassuming disposition, was held in much esteem by his fellow townsmen and a wide circle of friends who will sincerely regret his sudden passing. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran Church.

    About twenty-five years ago he was married to Miss Carrie Laibs. After her death he was married to Miss Katharine Merklinger about twenty years ago, who survives, together with the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ruthig, Preston; George, Warren, Ill.; Peter, Ayton; John, Saginaw, Mich.; Kate (Mrs. Witmer), Detroit, Mich.; Louisa (Mrs. Hiffler), Rochester, N.Y.; Emma (Mrs. Froehlich), Clinton, Mich.; and Hilda of Waterloo. The funeral will be held at 2: 03 o'clock on Thursday afternoon from the late residence to St. John's Lutheran Church for services and thence to Mount Hope Cemetery for interment.
