home of his daughter, Mrs. H. C. Canfield,  at Winthrop during the night 
Thursday shortly after midnight. Death was due to old age. The deceased 
was born in Kiffern, Kingdom of Saxony, Germany on July 15, 1829 and was 
nearly 83 years old when he answered Death's summons. He learned the 
blacksmith trade in the old country and was the owner of a blacksmiths 
shop in his home city which is in the existance today and is owned and 
operated by relatives of Mrs. Helene Roos. On the 9th day of November, 
1856 he was married to Miss Caroline Riehle and in the yeear 1860 they  
emigrated to America and came directly to New Ulm where two of his brothers 
had already settled. He followed his trade here in New Ulm until about 20 
years ago when he retired on account of old age and about 15 years ago 
removed to Winthrop where most of his children reside. In the fall of the 
same year his wife died and he has since made his home with Mrs. Canfield. 
The deceased was a kind and indulgent father. He made no great demands on 
life, was easily satisfied and had the happy faculty of adjusting himself 
readily and easily to most undesirable and adverse conditions. He is
