Death of an Aged Man.

George HERMAN died in this city Saturday morning in the ninety-third year of his age. Catherine, his wife, to whom he was married in 1850, died here just a year ago at the age of eighty. Mr. HERMAN was a native of Baden, Germany, and came to the United States in the '40's. In 1860 he removed with his family from Louisville, Ken., to Burlington, and a few years later came to Walnut township, this county. His residence in this city dated back to 1890. Until two or three years past he was a strong and vigorous man for one of his years, and was on the street almost daily. He was a genial, cheerful old fellow and had many friends among those who knew him. Two children in this city survive the aged parents, Mrs. G. P. LANG and John HERMAN. Mr. HERMAN's remains were interred Sunday evening at 5 o'clock, and funeral services were held at St. Mary's church by Rev. A. M. Nodler.
