DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER
Word was brought to LeMars of the death of an old resident, Caspar Jenni, which occurred at the home of his son-in-law, Peter Arendt, at Merrill, on Monday evening. Mr. Jennie enjoyed an extensive acquaintance throughout the county, having been among the earliest settlers of Plymouth county, where he homesteaded in Johnson township. He was a native of Switzerland where he was born some seventy-two years ago. He came to the United States when a young man. For the past few years he has resided in Merrill. His wife preceded him to the beyond about two years ago. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Peter Arendt, of Merrill.

The funeral was held at the Lutheran church in Merrill on Wednesday afternoon.
