Unknown New Ulm Paper - April 1, 1925
  Friends of Arthur C. Petry, for many years resident of New Ulm, will 
be grieved to learn of his death which occurred at St. Paul Tuesday morning 
at the city hospital.  Death was due to cancer of the intestines with which 
he had suffered for six months.  An operation performed recently failed to 
bring any relief.
  The deceased was born here in New Ulm, March 4, 1875 and was therefore 
only fifty years old when he died.  After graduating from the New Ulm public 
schools, he taught for several years in the rural schools of the County.  
Later he removed to St. Paul and in 1898 he entered the post office service 
in St. Paul office and was thus engaged when he was stricken and was forced 
to give up work.
  In 1899 he was united in marriage to Meta Bellm of this city who preceded 
him in death in 1906.  In 1912 he was united in marriage to Elfrieda Stiehn 
who with one son survives him.  He is also survived by the following sisters 
and brothers; Henry, Armand, Mrs. W. B. Sommer, Mrs. C. W. Boelter, all of 
St. Paul; Hulda Petry of Montevideo and Emil of Richmond, California.
  The funeral will be held, Thursday, April 2 under the auspices of the 
East Gate Masonic lodge.
  During his life-time the deceased was at one time or another a member 
of the Turnverein St. Paul, United Workmen, the musicians' union, the 
union of postal employees and singing societies and small choruses.
