Leonard EISELSTEIN
DEATH VICTIM
Mr. Leonard EISELSTEIN died at his home near
Sowers,
at 2:30 o'clock Saturday morning, February 20,
after
sixteen days battling with typhoid fever. His
body
was laid to rest in Sowers Cemetery, at 4 0'clock
Saturday evening.
Mr. EISELSTEIN came from Bavaria, Germany, about
two
an half years ago, to join his brother, Mr. Carl
EISELSTEIN, who came to free America a few years
prior. He leaves to mourn his death, a widow and
seven children - the oldest ten years of age, and
the
youngest two years.
The oldest child is seriously sick with the
fever; and
the mother has been very sick, but is rapidly
improving.
Though a stranger in our land, and could talk our
language but very little, yet those who knew him
say
he was a kind neighbor - always ready to help,
and
always friendly and cheerful. And they loved
him.
