OBITUARY
RIEPE

It is with sorrow that it is announced that Mrs. Louise Riepe, nee Von Possner, died in New York last Wednesday where she was visiting her daughters, Mrs. M. Weymann and Miss Clara Riepe. The cause of death is thought to have been heart disease, from which the deceased was a sufferer.

Mrs. Riepe was the widow of the late teacher, William Riepe. She was born in Germany 63 years ago and was married to Mr. Riepe at Baltimore in 1854. Mr. and Mrs. Riepe settled in Davenport in 1857.

Her son, Adalbert Riepe, who is the respected druggist at 40* West Second street, arrived on Tuesday evening with the remains. The funeral was held Wednesday from his residence, 222 West Twelfth St.
