He has been in a hospital in Sioux City for several weeks, suffering from an abscess in his side and other complications; and is a very sick man. He was taken to the Dubuque House and underwent an operation performed by Dr. G. H. Mammen and Dr. P. Schwind. He withstood the operation well and is a little better.

Albert Lang (sic-Long) died at the home of his mother, Mrs. Long, in Stanton township, on Saturday, after a long illness of tuberculosis, aged twenty-three years (sic-more than likely he was at least 32 yrs). He was in a hospital in Sioux City for some time and then was brought to LeMars to the Dubuque House to be under the care of Dr. Schwind. A few days ago, as his case was hopeless, he expressed a wish to die at home and taken out to the farm. He leaves a mother, six brothers and four sisters to mourn his death. The funeral was held yesterday at St. Joseph’s church in Lincoln township.
