Died in Elma, Ia., Oct. 17, 1888, after a week's illness, of bronchial pneumonia, August Falgatter, aged 75 years.

Father Fallgatter was born in Saxony, Oct. 13, 1813, and came to America in 1836. Was married in Buffalo, N. Y., May 8, 1843, to Miss Berjetta Kiefer, and removed to Dodge Co., Wis. where were born and reared their family of four sons and two daughters.

In 1864 he came with his family to Howard Co., Ia., where he was widely know for his unbounded hospitality.

Revs. Reebe and Wachtel officiated at the funeral services after which we followed his remains to Elma cemetery and laid them to rest beside his wife who two years ago preceded him to the spirit world.

Four sons, two daughters and many friends remain to mourn their loss. S.B.F.
