I translated the following obituary from Der Carroll Demokrat, a German-language newspaper published in Carroll, Iowa, between about 1874 and 1920. It was originally published on Friday, 29 March 1895. Any information in brackets or notes at the end are my own explanations. It reads as follows:

Arcadia

Last Sunday evening Mr. Joachim Mundt, Sr. passed away at the age of 75 years in the home of his son Henry in Washington Township. The burial takes place today (Wednesday) at the Five Mile House cemetery. He leaves behind two grown sons, namely Joachim Jr., and Heinrich, both residing as successful farmers in Washington Township. Our sympathies to the bereaved.
