Death of Cassimere Walldorf

News reached here Monday afternoon that Cassimere Walldorf, who 
but a few weeks since moved to Chicago, had died suddenly in that 
place of apoplexy.  W. H. Walldorf, nephew of the deceased, at 
once left for Chicago, and returned with his remains, which 
arrived here Wednesday morning.  His funeral took place at the 
residence of Frederick Walldorf, Wednesday afternoon at three 
o'clock.  The funeral services were cenducted (sic) by Rev. D. F.
 Putnam, assisted by Rev. Fountain of the Zion (Lutheran) church.
  The Lincoln Lodge of I.O.O.F., and the fire company, both of 
which he had been an active member, attended the funeral in a 
body.  Mr. Walldorf was born in Sioberehoin (sp?) Hasse (sic) Darmstadt, Gemany, April 28th, 1814, making his age at the time if 
death over 68 years.  When a boy he worked in his father's mill, 
and later learned the trade of baker which occupation he followed 
both in the old county and after he came to this. He emigrated to 
this country in 1836, and lived in New York until 1848, when he 
came to Monroe and engaged in the bakery business until 1860, 
since which time he has been engaged with his brother, Frederick, 
 in other business.  In 1842 he was married to Miss Henrietta 
Trust, who has since shared his fortunes.  In the forepart of 
November Mr, and Mrs, Walldorf left for Chicago, partly for the 
purpose of being with their only child, Mrs. Henry W. Niculas 
(sic), and partly with the hope of improved  health.  Since his 
removal to Chicago his health had been gradually failing, tho the 
end came suddenly.  Mr. Walldorf had all his life een connected 
with the German Lutheran and was one of the original members of 
the Zion Lutheran church in this city, and for many years one of 
its officers.  He was also an active member of the Lincoln Lodge 
of Odd Fellows of this city, and one among the most prominent and 
substantial of our German American citizens.

At a meeting of the Lincoln Lodge I.O.O.F., held Wednesday, the 
following resolutions were passed by its membersin honor to the 
memory of their deceased brother:

Resolved, That in C. Walldorf the Lodge mourns the loss of a 
worthy and noble hearted brother and member of this order, his 
wife, a worthy and noble hearted affectionate companion

Resolved, That the sympathies of this lodge are with the bereaved 
widow and worthy sister of the Lodge

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be tendered to Mrs. C.
Walldorf, and be published in both of our city papers.
