Postville Review, Postville, Iowa, Sept. 14, 1895.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Died. Eggert - At her late residence in Postville, on Sunday, Sept. 8th, 1895, Mrs. Mary Eggert, aged 53 years.

Mrs. Mary Shroeder was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in 1841. We have not the year she came to this country, but in 1861 she was married to Henry Eggert, in Clayton county, which has been her home until last spring, when she bought the R. N. Douglass residence in Postville, where, with her daughter Emma, she has since resided. Her husband died fifteen months ago and a daughter 9 months ago. Two sons and four daughters survive her. Mrs. Eggert was greatly esteemed by all who knew her, as was attested by the very large funeral on Wednesday, which was held from the Lutheran church. The Review wishes to add its word of sympathy to the family who have been three times bereaved in a few months. May it be a long time before they are again called to mourn.
