9 September 1855 -- 14 February 1909

P. M. Laux died at his home in Eagle Grove, Sunday, February 14th, after an illness extending over a year. He was a victim of that dreaded disease dropsy. "Pete" as he was familiarly called, will be remembered as a trick and later night chief dispatcher on this division. He was obliged to give up railroad work on account of his health, and lately has been engaged in the news and confectionery business. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss.
