Note: A separate article of the same paper and date says, "Two brothers - John and Carl C. Schroeder - each bereft of a wife within the short space of ten days is as sad and singular a mortality record as we have ever chronicled. The wife of the former passing away 27 May, and of the latter 6 June."
