Pella Chronicle: Andrew, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Wormhoudt, died at his home in this city last Monday morning at 6 o'clock, of typhoid fever, after an illness of about two weeks.

The deceased was 27 years of age at the time of his death, and was one of the Wormhoudt Bros., conducting large clothing stores in Pella, Kahoka, Mo., and Newton, he having had charge of the latter place since its establishment. He had not been feeling well for a few days, and started home; arriving here took to his bed and in a few short days was called to that home prepared for those who lead an upright, honest life. In his death Newton loses one of its best business men and Pella one of its brightest products, his family a most obedient son and loving brother, and his early death is felt in every heart in Pella.
