OBITUARY.

SEBERLIEN

Two weeks ago, accompanied by Mrs. August Seberlien, his brother's wife, Mr. Fritz Seberlien went to Chicago, partly to see the World's fair. Last evening his remains came home, or to his home of the last eleven years, at his brother's home. He had cancer in the stomach. At Chicago an operation was performed for his relief, which seemed successful, but 20 hours after he died, Wednesday, from weakness of the heart. Mr. Seberlien came to Davenport with his wife 11 years ago, and their only son was then here. She died a week after their arrival. He was 63 years old last October, and born at Holstein, Germany. His only child, William, a resident of Chicago, but now at Davenport to attend the funeral, which will be Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family residence, 219 Rock Island street.
