Postville Review, Sat., 21 Jan. 1882.

SONNKALB - At his residence in Grand Meadow township, Jan. 13, Charles Sonnkalb, in the sixty-seventh year of his age.

As previously mentioned in the Review, the deceased - on the 12th of Dec. last - fell from a load of straw to the frozen ground. Besides fracturing a rib, he was found to have sustained several internal injuries. Internal hemorrhage set in, heart disease and bronchitis, from which he had long suffered became rapidly developed, and death resulted as above stated.

He was born in Germany and came to this country about the year 1847; and has resided in this vicinity nearly thirty years. Mr. Sonnkalb was a good citizen and an honorable man, and was respected by all who new him.

Mrs. Sonnkalb, who at the time of her husbands injury sustained a severe fracture and dislocation of her wrist, is doing well.
