Isaac Sternberg Dies at St. Paul
Isaac Sternberg, founder of the Sternberg cloak and suit shop,
Waterloo east, died suddenly at St. Paul yesterday. Mr. Sternberg
went to St. Paul about two weeks ago for a visit with relatives
and friends. Little particulars of his death could be learned,
except those received in a telegram which stated death had been
sudden. Mr. Sternberg came to Waterloo about 10 years ago from
St. Paul, and founded the store which has since borne his name.
Prior to that time he had been engaged at Fargo, N.D. and
Watertown, S.D. He met with unusual success in his business here.
About two years ago his health failed him and as early recovery
did not seem promising, on Jan. 1, of the present year, he turned
the active management of his business over to others. Deceased
was a member of Waterloo lodge, B.P.O.E., and of the masonic
order. Surviving are the widow and one daughter, Mrs. J. Hecht,
New York City. Mrs. Sternberg is at present visiting her daughter
in New York.
Picture of Aviator May Be Symbol of Waterloo
A large picture of Milo Miller, aviator, landing in his airplane
is being completed by Frank Pierce and will be presented to the
Greater Waterloo association, as symbolic of the spirit of
Waterloo. The picture is done in black and white from a
photograph taken by Mr. Pierce last fall, after sunset and just
before a storm broke. Lieut. Miller had raced to the landing
field ahead of the storm, which gave the picture a wonderful
background. A Waterloo woman was inspired to write the following
couplet as a caption for the photograph:
Angry winds but hold the pent up wrath
Until my 'plane is moored and anchor cast.
