GOETTSCH

At his home, 100 West 9th Street at 9 o'clock this morning after a brief illness due to the decadence of old age, occurred the death of Hans Goettsch, father of Patrol Driver, Henry Goettsch, in the 7th (typo?) year and 27th day of his age.

The deceased was born in Probstel, Germany and came here in 1861 with his wife and family. A year ago last spring the deceased celebrated his golden wedding. His wife passed away Sept. 22 of this year.

Seven sons survive, viz: Henry, the patrol driver, Jochim, Julius, William, Ernst, John, and Herman Goettsch, all of this city.

The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the late residence with interment at Fairmount Cemetery.
