DEATH of Mr. Mammen.
Mamme M. Mammen, proprietor of the Dubuque house, died on Saturday afternoon about four o’clock, after an illness of only a few days of inflammation of the stomach. He was forty-seven years of age. He was a native of Germany and came to this country with his folks in 1865 and settled in Illinois.

He came to Plymouth county about fifteen years ago and farmed west of LeMars until the last few years when he came to town and assumed control of the Western hotel and recently he moved from there to the Dubuque house.

Mr. Mammen was an upright, honorable man, a good neighbor and was held in great esteem by all who were acquainted with him. He leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father.

The funeral was held this afternoon at the Grant township Lutheran Church and was very largely attended by friends and old neighbors. The interment was made at the Grant township cemetery.
