JACOB SCHAFFLUETZAL
Oct 2, 1894 (hand written)

The venerable Jacob Schaffluentzal, who has been well known in this community for forty years and longer, departed this life yesterday at the residence of his son-in-law, Mrs. B. Merdink, one mile south of Sweeland Center. Deceased was a native of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and attained the ripe old age of 84 years. He emigrated to America and settled in Muscatine in 1852 and remained a resident of this place since. His wife preceeded him in death two years ago. One son, Jacob, and one daughter, Mrs. B. Meerdink, survive.

Mr. Schaffluetzal was a consistent member of the German Congregational church for two score years, and the funeral services will be conducted at the church by Rev. Jacob Fath this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The cortege leaves the residence on the farm two hours after.
