Died, at his residence one and a half miles west of Postville, of typhoid fever, Fritz ENGEL, aged 27 years and two months. Mr. ENGEL was married only last February and had just got fairly started in life, which makes the case peculiarly sad. The funeral was held from the house and the Lutheran church on Tuesday afternoon, and was one of the largest funerals ever held in Postville. He was a member of the Turner society and that organization had charge of the funeral and was out in force.
