Died. In Postville, on Tuesday, April 2nd, 1895, of puerperal fever, Mrs. F. WILKE, aged about 21 years. Suddenly cut down, almost in the morning of her existence, while everything was bright and attractive around her, leaving a loving husband and an infant child only a few days old, the case is peculiarly sad, and all our people sympathize with the bereaved husband. Funeral was largely attended yesterday, from the Lutheran church.
