I translated the following article from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on 20 October 1893. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

Yesterday evening, Mr. Bernh. Tacke of Breda traveled east. He will stay a few days in Chicago, and on Monday he will travel on to New York so that he may go on board ship on Wednesday. Mr. Tacke has an elderly 82-year-old mother in Borken, Westphalia, who has expressed the wish of pressing her son, whom she has not seen in over 20 years, to her heart one last time. We wish Mr. Tacke a happy journey and that he may find his elderly mother still in good health.
