Laid to Rest Saturday. Many attended to pay their Last Tribute.
JOHN NARR IS NO MORE.
	John Narr, a pioneer settler of Sibley county, died in this 
village last Wednesday, March 13th, at 2 o’clock p.m.  The funneral was 
held Saturday and the remains were interred in the Lutheran cemetery west 
of town, Rev. Rob’t Heidmann reading the last sad rites.  He was taken 
ill with brights desease about three years ago and was afflicted with  
it ever since.  The immediate cause of his death was a complication of 
Brights desease and inflamation of the bladder.
	John Narr was born on September 17, 1831, in Schlegel, Saxonia, 
and was 75 years, 5 months and 26 days old at the time of his death.  
He came to this country in Aug. of the year 1854 and settled in St. Louis, 
Mo.  In 1855 he moved to Stillwater, Minn., where he was united in 
marriage to Christiana Klappenbach on Jan. 21st, 1860.  A few years later 
he removed to Sibley county, settling on a farm near Arlington and later 
moved to reside in this village.
	In July 1862, he enlisted as a volunteer in the 4th Minnesota 
Regiment and served 13 months.  He was one of the first who helped to 
build the first Lutheran church at this place, and has filled the office 
of trustee and president of that church for many years.
	During the years of their married life their union was blessed 
with 10 children.  Mrs. Klinkert, the oldest daughter, preceded him to 
the grave several years ago.  He is survived by a wife, seven sons, two 
daughters, nine grandchildren and other relatives.  During more than 
forty-seven years of married life he has been true and faithful as a 
husband and father.  
Following are the names of the children: Edward and Herman of Wood Lake;
John of Jessenland; Emma (Mrs. Kottke) of Waterville; Chas. of Morton;
Albert, Christian, August and Margarette of this village.
	The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved 
relatives and friends.  May he rest in peace.
