Postville Review, Fri., 16 Feb. 1906. (condensed).

Louis Welzel was born in Grand Meadow township, Clayton county, Iowa, 19 Nov. 1866, and died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Welzel, on Monday, 11 Feb. 1906, aged 29 years, 2 months and 21 days. His latest illness began about 2 weeks ago.

Afflicted from birth with a frail constitution he was denied many of the pleasures of the average person. All his life was spent under his parents roof, rarely even coming to town, prefering to assist in the management and conduct of the farm, the quite of the home and parental association above all else. He was a young man of high ideals and splendid character, honest, upright, charitable and kind, his life was worthy of emulation.

He is survived by his parents, four brothers and a sister, who have the sympathy of all in their hour of bereavement and sorrow.

The funeral was held from St. Paul's Lutheran church 13 Feb., conducted by Rev. M. O. Puhl, and despite the winters most severe snow storm being in progress a large number of friends attended. Interment was made in Postville cemetery.
