OBITUARY
Henry Nagel passes Away Suddenly 
of Blood Poisoning
NAGEL  -  Henry Nagel, one of our prominent young farmers passed away
rather suddenly at his home in Arlington township, Thursday afternoon,
March 14, of blood poisoning, aged 37 years, 1 month and 20 days.
Mr. Nagel, who has always enjoyed good health, was taken sick March 13th
with an abcess [sic.] in his left ear which worked toward the brain and
caused blood poison.  Doctors were at once called, but pronounced the case
a serious one.  They did all in their power, but in vain, and with the best
of care of his loved ones nothing could be done to save his life.  After
but a short period of severe pains he peacefully passed away at 3 o’clock
P.M. March 14, and his soul took its flight to the Lord in whom he
believed.
He was born Jan. 23rd, 1875, in the township of Arlington, and was
therefore 37 years, 1 month and 20 days old at the time of his death.  He
was a son of Philip Nagel and Fredericke Nagel, and the youngest member of
their family of 11 children.  He was married on Nov. 15, 1900, to Bertha
Soeffker, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Soeffker, Sr.  Their
union was blessed with four children, three sons and one daughter, the
little daughter being not quite five weeks old at the time of his death. 
He leaves to mourn his early departure, his beloved wife and children, his
aged and good mother, three brothers - Charley, Martin and William, and a
great number of near relatives.
The deceased was laid to rest on March 18th in the Lutheran cemetery in
Arlington township.  Rev. M. Abraham officiated.  The funeral was on of the
largest every [sic.] held in this community.  It was followed by 127 teams.
Words cannot express the grief into which this family and their relatives
has so suddenly come and the sympathy of the community goes out to them in
their affliction.
Mr. Nagel was a true Christian, a kind and loving father, husband and
brother, and an exemplary citizen.
