Elkader Register, Thur., 24 Mar. 1892.
Tuesday evening about 11 o'clock occurred the death at his residence in Cox Creek township, of Joseph Meyers, of blood poisoning, at the age of 50 years. Some ten days ago Mr. Meyers ran a thorn into his thumb but did not deem it worthy of his notice. It grew worse however, and finally resulted in his death. Mr. Meyers was a worthy citizen whose sudden demise will be deeply regretted. He leaves a wife and eight children who will receive the heartfelt sympathy of their friends. The funeral will take place from the Catholic church at Elkader, at 10 o'clock Friday morning.
