Ferdinand Stortz, Jr., Dead.
Friday last the remains of Ferdinand Stortz, Jr., were laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery. This is the second death within a few weeks from typhoid fever in this family. The father died first and an older son, who has since recovered, was dangerously ill at the same time. Later the youngest son became ill and death claimed him. He was a steady, hard working young man who had been the maitstay of his father, remaining at home and helping in the management of the farm.

Transcriber’s Note: St. Benedict Cemetery shows he was born May 5, 1868.
