ANTHONY PFOHL IS CLAIMED BY DEATH

	Highly respected resident of Holy Cross, victim of paralysis, Anthony Pfohl,

 age 82, died at his home.  His death resulted from a paralytic stroke he suffered

 three years ago and from which he has been ailing since.

	The deceased was born in Alsace Lorraine, January 1, 1835, and came with his

 parents to this country in 1846, settling in Dubuque.  The same year the family removed

 to Sherrill on a farm.  For three years Mr. Pfohl worked on the river but gave that

 up to engage in farming in which he was most successful.  He was united in marriage

 to Catherine Ferring in 1857.  Her death occurred eight years ago, September 14, 1907,

 when she was 70.  Of the seven children born to their union, the following survive:

 Mrs. Peter Hoffman, Dyersville; Mrs. N. J. Loes and A. Pfohl of Dubuque and Peter of

 Holy Cross.  The children who preceded their father in death were: Mrs. Peter Maiers,

 Mrs. N.W. Schmitt, and Mrs. John Vorwald of Holy Cross.   Two brothers, Joseph of

 Dubuque and George of Sherrill, and one sister, Mrs. Duster of Dubuque, survive.

	He is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery near his wife.
