Last Saturday occurred the death of Frederick Duwe, one of the old settlers in this city, after a chronic illness lasting several years.
He was born in Linsburg, near Nienburg, in the former kingdom of Hanover, Germany, July 4th, 1837. He came to America in 1853 and shortly afterward came to Guttenberg near which town he settled on a farm.
He was married in 1873 to Louisa Menke, who, with two children, Mrs. A. H. Borman and Harry Duwe, survive him. Three sisters and two brothers are also left to mourn his death - Mrs. Eliza Duwe, of Ceres; Mrs. Henry Fisher, of Clayton; Mrs. Henry Heiller, of Brownsville, Minn.; and Messrs. Diedrich Duwe, of this city, and William Duwe, of Clayton.
In 1862 he enlisted in Co. D., 27th Iowa Infantry, and served until 1865, when he was honorably discharged.
Funeral services were conducted from the residence Tuesday afternoon at 1:30, Rev. G. F. Braun officiating, and were attended by a large concourse of old friends, who came to pay their last respects to the deceased. Interment was in the City cemetery.
