Obituary
Wellington Waldorf (sic)

On Friday occurred the death of Wellington Waldorf (sic) of 
Chicago, also a former resident of this city.  Mr.  Waldorf (sic) 
was born in this city in the year 1855 and was the son of Mr. And 
Mrs. Frederick Waldorf (sic).  He spent his school days in Monroe 
till he had prepared himself for a good college education when he 
entered the Notre Dame University from which he graduated.  After 
perfecting his education he returned to this city and went into 
business with his father who was proprietor of what is now known 
as the City Mills.  He continued in this until after the death of 
his father when he went out of the flour business and started the 
well known Waldorf (sic) paper mill on the dock.  He ran this mill
 until he removed to Chicago.  On Nov. 27, 1882 he married Miss 
Adelaide Reynolds, the union being blessed by two sons, Whilhelm 
and Wellington, the former dying at the age of four.  Five years 
ago Mr. Waldorf (sic) gave up his business and removed to Chicago 
with his wife and son, where he accepted an excellent position 
with H. H. Kollsatt & Company.  His position was one of great 
trust and responsibility and he at once became one of the most 
valuable employees of the firm.  During the past year or two his 
health slowly declined and five days before his death, he became 
violently ill, dying on Friday the 3rd, of a complication of 
diseases.  The remains were brought to his old home in this city 
accompanied by his wife and son, the funeral being held from 
the old Waldorf (sic) homestead, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, 
Rev. Chas. O'Meara of the Trinity Episcopal church officiating.  
The interment being at Woodlawn.  His Chicago employees as a token 
of their respect and esteem sent a fine floral design consisting 
of 200 beautiful roses to the bereaved family.  The deceased 
leaves many warm friends both in this city and in Chicago.
