Ebbo Nederhoff Died Sunday From Bright's Disease

Ebbo Nederhoff died at his home two miles west of Wellsburg at 12:30 Sunday afternoon following an illness of about eight months from Bright's disease. Nr. Nederhoff's health began noticeably to fail last summer where he consulted a physician for the first time. He was confined to his bed since Christmas.

Mr. Nederhoff was 54 years old. He was born in Grundy county and lived on the same farm all of his life. He was a successful farmer and a good neighbor. His death coming so early in life is a distinct loss to the community.

Burial was made in the family lot in the cemetery adjoining the Bode church.
