Again the angel of death spread his wings, and this time entered the home of Mr. A.C. BUCHWALD and his estimable wife, Louisa M. and with his ruthless grasp has torn another leaf from the book of life, in taking from the family circle their youngest child, Lizzie, four older children, Rose, Oscar, Elmer and Mamie, remaining with their parents to mourn the untimely death of Lizzie. She was born in Postville, Allamakee county, Iowa March 28th, 1880 and died in Marion, Linn county, Iowa on February 14th, 1891.
