Sudden Death of Henry Broghammer.
Friends of Henry Broghammer of Hesper township were painfully surprised Sunday morning to learn of his death Saturday evening. We are without any of the particulars save that his death followed an illness of only three days. The funeral was held yesterday at the Catholic church in Decorah and was largely attended. By all who knew Mr. Broghammer he was held in high esteem. Never a man of demonstrative nature, by his solid worth he won a secure place in the friendship of his neighbors and he will be greatly missed in his home and surroundings.
