DEATHS
Died. At her residence in Postville, Jan 4th, 1890, of neuralgia,
Mrs. Paulina STAADT, wife of Mr. A. STAADT, aged about 78 years.
Mr. and Mrs. STAADT were married at New York in 1851. They came
to Allamakee county in 1854 and settled on a farm, where they
resided until 1866, when they came to Postville, since which time
Mr. STAADT has been engaged in the drug business here. For about
24 years Mrs. STAADT was a great sufferer from neuralgia, much of
the time life being a burden to her. During all her sufferings
she was a kind and affectionate wife and mother and a noble
woman. The sorrowing husband and son are solaced in their grief
by the thought that the weary pain racked head is finally at
rest, and in the land where she has gone to reside forever,
"sickness and sorrow" "pain and death, are felt
and feared no more".
Died. At the residence of his brother, Wm. MITCHELL, Jan 2nd,
1890, of cancer in the throat, Charles MITCHELL, in the 69th year
of his age. Mr. MITCHELL never was married and hence leaves no
family except brothers and sisters and more distant relatives.
The funeral was held from the Congregational church.
