Richard Utz Dead.

    Richard R. Utz, in his 36th year, and a son of the late Ezekiel Utz, died at his home 

near Burlington on the 28th inst.  Mr. Utz was born and raised on the farm where he spent 

his entire life and on which his remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery last 

Saturday.  He is survived by his wife, who was a Miss Rogers, and one son and two interesting 

daughters.  Richard Utz was a man who did his own thinking, forming his own opinions in which 

he was fixed and always ready to defend in the most intelligent manner.  Mr. Utz, from 

childhood, labored under the disadvantage of being deaf, the result of a severe attack of 

scarlet fever, but this in no-way prevented him from keeping well informed in current events' 

as he was a close and diligent reader.  In his death a faithful and indulgent husband and 

father, a most excellent gentleman and a worthy citizen has been lost.
