ANTHONY PFOHL IS CLAIMED BY DEATH

Highly respected resident of Holy Cross, victim of paralysis, Anthony Pfohl, age 82, died at his home. His death resulted from a aralytic stroke he suffered three years ago and from which he has been ailing since.

The deceased was born in Alsace orraine, January 1, 1835, and came with his parents to this country in 1846, settling in Dubuque. The same year the family removed to Sherrill on a farm. For three years Mr. Pfohl worked on the river but gave that up to engage in farming in which he was most successful. He was united in marriage to Catherine Ferring in 1857. Her death occurred eight years ago, September 14, 1907, when she was 70. Of the seven children born to their union, the following survive:
Mrs. Peter Hoffman, Dyersville; Mrs. N. J. Loes and A. Pfohl of Dubuque and Peter of Holy Cross. The children who preceded their father in death were: Mrs. Peter Maiers, Mrs. N.W. Schmitt, and Mrs. John Vorwald of Holy Cross. Two brothers, Joseph of Dubuque and George of Sherrill, and one sister, Mrs. Duster of Dubuque, survive.
He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery near his wife.
