Found Dead in Bed,
New Hampton Courier—Sunday morning Ernest T. Boettcher, an old man who lives with his son of the same name in Washington township, was found dead in his bed. He had retired feeling no worse than usual and the next morning the son went up to the room to build a fire for his father to get up by. He found, however, that his father had passed peacefully away during the night. It is supposed a stroke of paralysis caused his death. The deceased was born in Germany May 20, 1815.

Transcriber's Note: Find a Grave shows he is buried in the New Hampton Cemetery and died Dec. 9, 1900.
